Half-Life 2 and Final Fantasy VI.
Played both of them when they were new, and I just didn't get them I guess. Final Fantasy VI I've played several times, and I don't think it's bad, but I can't understand the amount of nostalgia people have for it, especially considering Chrono Trigger was released about a year later, and is better in almost every respect. I guess it was the first one for many. Still, I think there's better Final Fantasy games.
