I loved the old SSI "Gold Box" games, especially the first, Pool of Radiance, and other fantasy games of that era like Legacy of the Ancients on My C64, Wasteland, etc. A game doesn't have to have flashy graphics to be "good", I much preferred a free-flow storyline where you could sort of wander around the world if you wanted to, a good learning curve, and lots of options for character development. For me a good game was one that would keep you immersed in it's world all night long, and you wouldn't even notice how late it was! Just my .02 cents.
