The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall
Before the Elder Scrolls franchise evolved into the titan of fantasy that it is today, there was Daggerfall, a remarkable game with even greater ambition and scope than those that followed it.

These days racing games are predominantly about realism. You can easily spend more time buying parts for your cars than actually driving them, and when you do get out on the road you tend to be bound by the laws of physics.

Descent could have been a revolution in gaming, but the idea never really took off. It supplemented what was then the quintessence of the first-person shooter experience with the ability to fly, often upside-down and thoroughly lost, through truly 3D environments. Even today it stands alone as a unique video game experience.
