Invisible Inc. An interesting spin to the UFO formula with an expanded gameplay.

Any RTS that bears the Westwood logo.

It refers pretty much to any video game that fits the Commander Keen Rules. Playable on that sexy second hand ThinkPad is a plus.

That's not the part of the game I'd like to remember. Even

was less frustrating.

Updated chart. Good recommendations so far.

I didn't see Temple of Elemental Evil on that list. It's possibly the most faithful recreation of D&D(3.5) rules to date, although there were some liberties taken with spell lists for some reason. The game is incredibly buggy right out of the box, but there are a few official updates to make it more playable. Alternatively, you can try Co8's mod. (which I didn't care for, since it adds too much original content)

And no classic Ultima?

Speaking of PS1, Vagrant Story is an incredibly challenging dungeon crawler with a great plot. Probably Squaresoft's opus. That is, before they merged with Enix and started churning out shitty fanfic-tier games.

Avernum, Avadon, and Nethergate Ressurection should probably be on there.

Zettai Hero Project was pretty good.

Seconding FTL: Faster Than Light, and adding Dragon Age: Origins.

Dark Souls especially. It's a loveletter to classic rpgs and I'm surprised how much it actually took from D&D in terms of mechanics. Mostly things like attunement until you rest.
