I'm tempted to go with Wing Commander 2 or Monkey Island 2, big personal favorites.
Lemmings is certainly notable and it's hard to ignore Sonic.
Scorched Earth needs to be mentioned as something I still play now and then.
Space Quest IV is one of very best Sierra adventures.

But have to give it to Civilization, for its part in both general and personal gaming history.

Space Quest 4 was awesome. It came of 6 discs, which meant a lot of disc swapping while back tracking. It also too 30 to 45 seconds for each scene to load. The CD-rom version came out in 1992. We did have an early CD Rom drive where you had to put the CDs in a tray first before inserting.


Loading was pretty slow, taking 5 to 10 seconds to load a picture. Yet with a sound card you could already play your own music mixed with the game sfx while playing.

Space Quest 4 was worth the long loading screens, so much humor packed in one game. Tons of of fun. I should replay it some time, the vga version was quite pretty as well.
