Played the CRAP out of Telengard (and even now have the Windows version on my laptop for impromptu games). Let's see, had most of the Infocom stuff (loved The Lurking Horror - Lovecraftian text adventure? Yes please!), Psi-5 Trading Company, Law of the West, Adventure Construction Set, Realms of Impossibility, and Spell of Destruction pop to mind.
