Little Big Adventure. That's the first one which looked so far and beyond what a console could do, in my mind.

Doom truly blew my mind when it got released. Graphics were so good that it felt like black magic.
Return to Krondor will always have a soft spot in my heart.
Jane’s ATF. I’m sure it hasn’t aged well.
Quake for graphics, Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for gameplay.
Quake was pretty mind-blowing. Full room-over-room and all.
Command & Conquer
F/A18 Interceptor on my good old Amiga 500 :)
I distinctly remember "Redneck Rampage" being the first game I'd ever played with an install over 100MB and it blew me away - that felt absolutely MASSIVE at the time.
The physics engine in "Jurassic Park: Trespasser" also knocked my socks off. I wish that one would get a re-release on GOG or something; it's terrible, but I've got a lot of fond memories bumbling my away around that island.
Siege of Avalon. I had played a few RPGs but SoA blew my socks off with the graphics and everything at the time.
Half-Life playing deathmatch for the first time on a 56k modem, lagging like hell but when i saw someone else for the first running around my mind was blown haha
Wolfenstein 3D. It was an incredible leap from what I'd played before.
