It just barely makes the cut off since it came out in 99, but Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is my favorite strategy game of all time. It even managed to get a Linux port and you can get it on GOG. I was excited when Civ: Beyond Earth was announced that it would be a true successor, but sadly it wasn't even close.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1)
So many games that I even upvoted that are still absolutely amazing haven't really aged perfectly control- or gameplay-wise, but Oddworld could be released today and it would still be perfect.

Edit: nevermind, this was already posted. I literally did a search on the page first and it didn't match for some reason.
I noticed that problem on mobile, it doesn't load all of the comments i don't think.
Day of the Tentacle - PC
Wonder Boy: Monster Land, Arcade, 1987
Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar (C64)
Total Annihilation
Star Flight, 1986(?). Huge universe, multiple alien races, reputational, on two 360k floppy disks, and a great story too.
Metal Slug
Some games released in 2000, alone:
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Counter Strike
Deus Ex
The Little Mermaid II: Pinball Frenzy
I missed System Shock 1 and 2 on release (I was 1 and 6 years old, respectively) but I've recently been playing the SS1 remake and, holy shit, this is an incredible game.
I think the original is held back by its UI but the actual game itself, which the remake pretty much preserves almost one to one, is incredibly solid even by modern standards. I've been super hooked on it and it's opened my eyes to an entire lineage of games that I've not paid attention to - System Shock 2, Deus Ex, and Prey are the big three that I have my eye on when I finish with SS1 Remake.
