For me it has to be Baldur's Gate 2, and, unashamedly, Tropico.

Starflight II: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula. It was really the second space based sandbox game. The first being Starflight. You were dropped into a huge galaxy to explore with just a loose storyline. The game would be considered very primitive by todays standards. I've been hooked on sandbox space sims ever since.

Both the first and second were awesome Shame I never got into EvE but I have been playing a lot of Sins, Endless Space, Legend of Pegasus lately. Starflight was so memorable for the late night sessions with junk food and friends
Everquest. Started playing in 1999 until 2003, now I'm back playing it. I met friends who I got to know in real life and can write a book on all my memorable experiences. However, it's pretty much dead now, but am enjoying it more than any of the newer crap out.
2nd - Runescape. I got 100 Woodcutting, which I feel like I deserve a nobel peace prize for going through that and putting up with the 5 year old guild leaders trying to recruit me. I had fun though, lots.
3d - WoW pre cata. I spent an entire weekend doing AV non-stop with a few friends and I will never forget it.
4th - Phantasmagoria, A Puzzle of Flesh. (Look it up). I moved with my family into an old farm house and set up my PC in the basement and played this through my first night there. I was beyond scared and believe that house was haunted now after that.
5th - King's Quest. My first game on my Tandy1000 that changed my outlook on video games forever.
My first online game was never winter knights, mod of choice was call to arms full rp. And is still to this day the best online game experience ive had. Couple of other games have come close, swg and eve online.
