Metal Gear Solid. It's amazing, even by my modern standards (I only played it for the first time about 2 months ago).

There are many of them, but StarCraft wins to me personally. Still a game worth playing novadays.

Ignore all the shocking atrocities committed under the final fantasy franchise. Yeah, all the ones before 7 were awful.

One word. Kefka.

(Nah, seriously. You obviously never played through the earlier FF games. Yeah, 1 and 2 weren't that great, but hey, so where almost all other NES RPGs apart from DQ IV. FF4, 5 and 6 were quite great games and imo, 6 easily beats 7 in both story and graphics. But I guess that's all about personal taste.)

My favorites are the already mentioned FFVI and Fallout 2, Starcraft, Dragon Quest: Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Maboroshi no Deichi (Realms of Reverie). I also loved Valkyrie Profile (one of the best JRPGs ever made, imo).

Too bad that Deus Ex and Baldur's Gate 2 were released in 2000, else, I'd add them to this list as well;).

I've played 1 2 4 5 and 6 and completed all but 1 and 4. They're just not very good. Very basic in every way. 6, by far the best of the bunch, just has very flat, bland characters and dialogue, a cliche plot, boring 12-bar-blues music, too much dungeon crawling and level grinding, basically just nothing going on that drew me in to it. Maybe I was just too old when I played it and noticed all the problems.
