To some the classics include RPGs, to other's the games are timeless Nintendo and Sega games. Here are a few examples from the long list that Goozernation has: Baldur's Gate, Final Fantasy VII, Power Stone, Mortal Kombat II, Super Mario 3, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario 64, and GTA San Andreas.
"The site's 'relaunch' brought the release of Baldur's Gate, signaling the much anticipated acquisition of Atari-Hasbro licensed titles. Today this release was followed up with Planescape: Torment, considered by many to be one of the best cRPGs in existence.

We examine the state of the big-budget single-player RPG with a group of RPG developers. Each comes from a different facet of the market. Is it dying? Are the tastes of RPG gamers changing? What role do MMOs, consoles, and handhelds play? I..."
"Outstandingly unique, intelligently comedic, and incomparably atmospheric; the masterpiece I'm talking about is Black Isle Studio's Planescape: Torment. Feelings of love, of loss, and of determination and fascination are associated to the mere recollection of the game's name. This is a game which truly influenced my life, the game was released in 1999 and its philosophical themes and thought-provoking dialogue were partially my inspiration, after a life-time of studying pure science, for choo..."
GiantRealm has done up a cool article which recommends six classic PC titles that you can run on any PC these days. A note about one of the listed titles, Deus Ex: soon it'll be a great time to get into it (whether you're a DE virgin or not) with the HDTP overhaul it's getting.
