I had to think long and hard about this list! Any game I've played for 10+ years or still like and want to play after 10+ years made it. I like a lot of newer games too but they're still too "new" for the list!

The Legend of Zelda - 1986? (NES)
Phantasy Star - 1988 (Sega Master System)
Phantasy Star II - 1989 (Genesis)
Populous - 1989 (Genesis/PC)
Might & Magic II - 1989 (Genesis)
Civilization - 1991 (PC)
Final Fantasy III/VI - 1994 (SNES)
Masters of Orion 2 - 1996 (PC)
Fallout 1 & 2 - tied - 1997/1998 (PC)
Arcadia - MUD - mid-90's (Telnet)

Honorable mention: Ultima Online - 1997 (PC)

After thinking about it some more, I need to add a separate category for the MMORPG/FPS's I've played since it doesn't seem fair to lump a multiplayer game in with single player ones.

Already Mentioned UO....

Star Wars Galaxies
Dark Age of Camelot
Aliens Online / Magestorm - 2 games released by Mythic prior to DAoC
Asheron's Call
EVE Online
Battlefield 2
Team Fortress 2
Day of Defeat (A multiplayer only, WWII Half Life I mod)
