For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.

Maybe too retro for "PC" gaming, but Ultima III on the C-64. To have a huge explorable world full of details and people to talk to sucked me right in. Others did a better job later in graphics, size, and details, but Ultima was the first.

For RPGs for me it was Ultima VII - it was the first truly open world game I'd come across, with freedom and so much to do (for the time). I still think it's a great game to play even now.
