gamergeek list
Prompted by discussing Xenogears with cephiedvariable, as well as a post by kisanthe, I have finally decided to make a list of games that I have finished, games that I have played, and games that I own but am to lazy to actually play.
I was going to bold the ones I recommend, but then I realized that I'm just too easy to please for that information to be of use to anyone. I was going to bold my favorites instead, but then I realized there would be too many of those, too. So I guess ask me if you want more detailed information on any of these.
Also, most but not all of the games on the list are RPGs. I used to play loads of dumb computer games, but the only one I really stuck with long enough for me to remember it now is Civilization, so there you go.

Uh. There are probably others. I guess I'll try poring through some lists of PC games on GameFAQs to jog my memory of something. Sometime. I will not be including games that I played somewhere back in the mists of time before the age of ten or twelve, because...I just can't remember most of them (a sample of the ones that I can: Myst, Dark Forces, Doom, Quake...oh yeah, I'm so well-adjusted).
I was going to bold the ones I recommend, but then I realized that I'm just too easy to please for that information to be of use to anyone. I was going to bold my favorites instead, but then I realized there would be too many of those, too. So I guess ask me if you want more detailed information on any of these.
