I beat Lazarus a few weeks ago and it was one of the most rewarding and entertaining RPG experiences I've had in quite some time. Highly recommended.

My favourites would be...

Wizardry 6 - 8
Ultima IV - VII
System Shock 1/2
Gothic 1/2
Planescape: Torment
Arcanum
Fallout 1/2
Might and Magic: World of Xeen
Might and Magic VI/VII
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Deus Ex
Ultima Underworld 1/2
Geneforge 2
Mount and Blade
Master of Magic
Lands of Lore ...
