Great games are pretty well known, good games that had something magic about them exist too.
Lords of the Realm 2. An awesome game on the school computers of my youth, a kind of economic sim-cum-medieval citystate management/combat game, it was certainly far cooler than Oregon Trail.
Majesty. Another great RTS, it had a really fascinating spin on RTS gameplay - you didn't directly control anyone, you just motivated them with bounties and they fed the money they made back into your economic buildings, which you taxed for income... It's sequel is a fantastic game in its own right that i heartily recommend.
Claw. Sidescroller about a pirate captain mouse named Captain Claw, i think, it had great music and pretty cool level design, for a kid.. i only played the demo, but it was plenty challenging for me! Came on my Pentium 2 along with the Diablo 1 and Age of Empires demos.
Disney's Tarzan. Another sidescroller, 2.5D... this had wonderful atmosphere.. all the sounds of a jungle, great music, lots of fun enemies, secrets.. hidden passages done really interestingly.. a really well done licensed game.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 1. This is actually what i remember the US being like in the 90s (probably because i didn't most of my time there in Vermont), green evergreen trees, wood panelled hamburger shops, mountain country theme parks.
Encyclopaedia Britannica Mind Maze.
The encyclopaedia Britannica program on my windows 98 computer was really cool, had heaps of really interesting animated entries and minigames about things like landing on the moon.. and a really cool mediaeval maze quiz game that used some really cool artwork.
