Which Classic Computer Games should I play?
Cyborg:
What Keith said, although I would put more emphasis on baldur's gate and icewind dale. They're both spectacular adventures, but they are eclipsed by Planescape which is a dark, fantastic, philosophical journey. Honestly, Planescape should be your first stop, as you will find yourself just staring at the screen when you turn it off for the night as you go through your journey. It affected me greatly, and it still does. The graphics are a little aged, so I would suggest installing all the mods. You can find the comparison on YouTube fairly easily and how to do it in the gog forums. The mods keep things fresh and tie up a couple loose ends that were never officially patched, as well as fixing some bugs.

Its worth pointing out, the Baldur's Gate games are getting a remake. How faithful they'll end up being to the original, I don't know. But it might be worth holding off on that series till then. And personally, I loved the Baldur's Gate series - though I haven't played it since they were new games, not sure how well the mechanics have held up.
Planescape is a game I always wanted to try out, but never got the chance to. It seemed to have a truly unique and interesting storyline from what I heard.

I can't get an emulator to actually RUN that game properly. I seriously wish someone would buy the IP and just rebuild Dungeon Keeper on a modern box. Don't get fancy, none of the randomly annoying stuff they put into II, just good clean Hero Smashing fun.

I have a year-old gold edition of Dungeon Keeper 2 and it runs like a dream... for about 20 minutes, then it crashes. I managed to play about three and a half hours, saving every ten minutes and restarting whenever it crashed, before even my saintly patience wore immensely thin.
I'm still waiting for someone to release a new version just so it will run on a machine built in the last ten years.
If you've got StarCraft II then a chap named Bibendus is currently developing "Hive Keeper": http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/hive-keeper/. The single player beta is actually pretty damn good!
