Might as well add Tomb Raider 1-5 and all the Need For Speed games up to Porsche. Now TR: Legend and Most Wanted discourage me from playing them

Karate champ was excellent. Golden Axe was another one that I spent a fortune on in the arcades growing up.

Hmm. Not technically classic, but here are some games I dumped countless hours into:
Monkey Island, Space Quest, Police Quest, Larry, etc
Colonization
Master of Magic
Master of Orion 2
Deus Ex
DukeNukem3D
Warcraft 2
Q3A
Strike Commander (great atmosphere, loved being a jetfighter mercenary)
Privateer (best game atmo ever, Freelancer was pretty good as well. I wish they made a sequel.)
Baldur's Gate 2 (best RPG ever. I'm playing Kotor atm, and I keep imagining how good it could've been had they used the Infinity Engine)
Overall I can say that the most important thing for me in a game is atmosphere. Sadly, I seem to belong to a minority.

Man, the Strike Commander manual had an ad for radar-guided missiles by Adnan Kashoggi on it's back.
They don't do things like this anymore.

the quality games do
oblivion's collectors has that compendium, halo2 collectors has the entire manual in Covenant ("primitive human weaponry"
), and the GTA series have tourguides in their manuals.
to name a few.
but the best thing to enhance atmosphere (IMO) is musical score. they used to make some great music back in the day

There aren't many games that have held my attention, I would have to say the early Final Fantasy games and possibly games like Ayerton Senna's Super Monaco Grand Prix.

But especially oblivion is a game that has almost NO atmosphere whatsoever.
"Welcome to generic fantasy world! Here you will meet generic fantasy characters!"
I'm sorry, I don't want to start a discussion about oblivion here. It's just a particularly good example of what's wrong with today's games in MY opinion.

i guess thats true. the game has a lot of lore but the actual presentation doesnt support said lore
