So what are your best ever PC games and why?

On the other hand, I have around 200 dating from 1985, and I selected 2. It can't be that hard...
Simple, yet addictive.

Agreed it was a great title! Although I can't agree that the newer ones aren't up to scratch. I have settlers 4 and it is just as addictive and superb as the first one. It really sucks you in for hours and hours.
Not my favourite though, if I had to name mine it would probably be the original Doom. this game took up a lot of my time when it was released and I can think of no game since that has had such an impact on me.
Other titles I consider strong contenders are : Tie Fighter, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island 1 + 2, Indy and the Fate of Atlantis, Frontier Elite 2, Carmageddon 1 + 2, Red Alert 1 + 2, Tiberian Sun, Unreal Tournament.
I have C&C too and it works fine but its a CD.
