Gonna beat ye up on this one. I have 2 hi powered computers for me and the misses, cuz of what I've seen here, started building older ones. Just finished a weak xp machine with a lo grafix card. HOMM, MOO2, RR Tycoon, and others. I've got my mega2 Atari up and running. The big one will be a machine running win 98 to play the older stuff. BTW if you have win 98, store bought or pirated, MS hands out a free key to make it work. As we all know. It's not the grafix, or sound, it's the game that makes it worth playing. 
Not just because Im a fanboi....but Elite Dangerous has garnered more online gaming time than any other games I used to play...including World of Tanks, World of Warships to name a couple.

Got some of what you said. XP Pro 64 bit was my bag. Never went for a black ed but heard a lot of good.
You need mech warrior 2
We all do
Ever been to the 4 1/4s in Peckham?

Not sure how much time I've spent with E D, (is there any way of checking?), but ME3MP is at 2284 hours for me.
And still counting
I'm really struggling to pick one as i have so many, but the game that had me saying "That's just impossible, no game can look like that yet" is Shenmue (Dreamcast)
I first saw it's preview on a VHS tape that came free with a computer magazine and was completely blown away, the actual game completely surpassed my expectations and made an imprint I will never forget along with FFVII & The original Tomb Raider

I reject the idea that there is or ever will be a "best game ever" or "best game to date". I love a lot of games, and I love them for different reasons.
So instead I'm going to shamelessly plug a hidden gem from the PS2 era.
Behold! War of the Monsters! A giant monster fighting game!

Climb buildings! Break buildings! Catch stuff other monsters throw at you and chuck it back! Stab them with radio antenna! Special attacks! Cheesy 1950's sci-fi movie poster loading screens!
Available for PS3 on the PS store.
And yes I'm just saying this because I really really want a reboot/sequel.

Quakeworld. There is no substitute.
I've probably played more WoW than anything, but if I had to go for one game it would be the original Quake, and it's online variant Quakeworld.
The first FPS game with full 3D environments, and one of the first internet playable games back when most people had dial-up connections and the lucky few had ISDN or a University connection. It was a great time for gaming
