Transport Tycoon Deluxe (which lives on as the much improved OpenTTD.)
Master of Orion 2
Star Wars Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast
Home Alone (1991) - Special mention as my first computer game. Still have the box…
Age of Empires II (revived, remastered, and still receiving expansions and development)
Still playing OpenTTD and Dwarf Fortress.
Star Control I and II
Medieval II Total War (except that diplomacy was a joke)
Civ III was great, but Alpha Centauri may have been the best 4x game ever.
What grinds my gears about Medieval II is how every general gets a ton of battle dread pretty much no matter what
Monkey Island 1-3 and System Shock 2. And Might and Magic 4+5. I play these once every two years.
And a modern classic-to-be: Shadow Warrior 2. I play this once per year (New game +) and will never stop. I have reached level 240 just today.
Dune 2 is a classic (one of the first) rts that I still love to play today.
The original is super tedious so now I play an updated version with some more features

Dune 2000 was a (mostly?) remake of Dune II.
Return to castle wolfenstein enemy territory
Mafia.
GTA: 3, Vice City, San Andreas.
Rig N Roll 2.
Cultures 2.
Industry giant 2.Dig Dug, Battlezone (the wireframe “3d” tank game), and C&C Red Alert 2. Those 3 will always live in my head rent-free, and they’re more than welcome to.
Counter-strike 1.6. That game meant the world to me. I remember all the fun mods like surfing, knife, kz (climbing), zombie survival, grenades only, knife with janky ass cars.
I know certain modes can be found now too in games like roblox. My little sister plays roblox and plays a ton of the climbing ones (i think its called obby or something). But i miss the counter strike gameplay. I think my favorite was bunnyhop hide and seek. I hosted a server and it got pretty popular. We all build fun levels together and played all day. I miss these old dedicated server games with fun mods 😔.
Depends how you define classic.
Old computer games from way back.
You might even consider the older PCs.
Zeus & Poseidon
Carmageddon, worms, quake 3, heroes 3, doom 1, prince of Persia, wolf 3d, claw, hitman 1, max Payne, gta2
Haven’t seen it mentioned yet but,
Scorched Earth.
It’s the original Worms, tons of fun.
I’m late but Quest for Glory is one of the best games of ever.
Combat was pretty horrible though. The rest of it was amazing.
