Treasure Hiding - an email game for two players.

Multi-player computer games
Warcraft 2 - my favourite competitive computer game. Why is everything newer so bad?

Single-player computer games I recommend (a mix of especially good, or good and not well known)
Ultima 4, 5, 6, Ultima Underworld and Ultima Underworld 2 from Origin, and the Exile series from Spiderweb Software, are all very good in the RPG genre, and probably a pain to run on modern computers. Spiderweb Software's later things are also pretty good, but not as good as their older stuff.
Beret is a unique, free puzzle platformer involving telekinesis.
Wonderquest Dreams is a good free variant on Deadly Rooms of Death. The download link is tricky to find, search the linked page for "WonderQuest_Dreams_Setup_42.exe" and it's the second one in the left column under "RabidChild".
Iji is a free metroidvania that can be played at least two very distinct ways that lead to different endings.
An Untitled Story is a lo-fi free metroidvania. (Mouse over the game images to see their titles.)
Cave Story is a very cute metroidvania made by one guy.
Miracle Fly is a really good cross between Super Mario and Thrust.
LogiGun is a mostly-puzzle physics platformer, with a sensible difficulty level.
Stealth Inc 2 is a puzzle platformer I suppose, involving clones.
Nethack and Slash
