Not sure if they qualify, but I enjoyed The Bards Tale series.
The Ishtar games I tried to like, but while they looked quite nice and were fairly polished, etc. they lacked anything to make them stand out. While decent games I'd personally leave them until you've run out of other good choices. Dungeon Master2 is apparently very good if you give it a little time to get into properly as well, but Ive not given it more than a quick glance.
