Lisa is an equally hilarious and depressing RPG that has such features as choices that actually matter both in gameplay and story(eat your heart out telltale/bioware),greatest story I've ever seen in a RPG,quirky and unforgettable art direction and a soundtrack that actually makes dubstep sound good.For my money it is nothing short of a masterpiece:

Submarine Titans should be moved to the Hall of Fame :D

The Fifth Disciple (2002)

The plot goes as follows: Young magician Engeor gets imprisoned because he badmouthed the governor of his town. In the prison camp he fnds out about the villainous past of said man and decides to escape and try to save the world from an evil plot... Well, ok, the plot, isn't very menorable, but the gameplay is original, as this is a nice mix of point-n-click and RPG gameplay. Engeor interacts with the environment in a point-n-click way and fights monsters and levels up, making his spells stronger, in an RPG way. The English dubbing is pretty good, considering this is a game made by a Czech developer, and I also liked the music a lot.
P.S. Also this isn't nostalgia speaking as I found this game in a sale bin just 3 days ago...

DinoPark Tycoon (77 votes at the time of writing)

Legendary sim released in 1993, same year Jurassic Park saw the lights of theaters. It has no connections to the movie, apart from dinosaurs. And the park thereof. You try to build a successful tourist attraction taking care of finances, staff, dinos, food, park buildings, participating in auctions etc. There's also a little builtin encyclopedia stating interesting facts about dinos.

Here's some links to get more acquainted with the game:

Azrael's Tear (159 votes)

This is a real classic, and one that's been lost to time. Azrael's Tear could be described as a mixture between Myst and the original System Shock, but it puts its own spin on things as well. It has an incredible story, stunning art direction and almost unmatched atmosphere. In certain aesthetic and narrative respects, it resembles Thief: The Dark Project--only, it came out in 1996. The game bombed horribly and has never been available for purchase since. It's most likely in licensing hell right now, since Intelligent Games (the developer) closed in 2002, and Mindscape (the publisher) closed in 2011. It would be really amazing to see this one finally get its due.

Flight Unlimited (88 votes)

From Wikipedia:

Flight Unlimited is a 1995 flight simulator video game developed by a team under Seamus Blackley for Looking Glass Technologies. It allows the player to pilot reproductions of five aircraft and to perform aerobatic stunts. A virtual instructor teaches basic and advanced flight techniques, such as Immelmann turns and Lomcevak tumbles. The first self-published game released by Looking Glass, Flight Unlimited was intended to establish the company as a major video game publisher and to compete with the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise. Blackley, a particle physicist formerly of Fermilab, used real-time computational fluid dynamics calculations to code a simulated atmosphere for Flight Unlimited. Previous flight simulators had often used wind tunnel data to determine a plane's motion, which precluded complex maneuvers. The game was a commercial and critical success that spawned three sequels: Flight Unlimited II (1997), Flight Unlimited III (1999) and Jane's Attack Squadron (2002). Soon after Flight Unlimited‍ '​s completion, Blackley was fired from Looking Glass; he went on to design Jurassic Park: Trespasser for Dreamworks Interactive, and later spearheaded development of the Xbox at Microsoft.

My comments:

Still one of the greatest flight sims, and the only one I've played that was truly fun. It's downloadable in ISO format on Internet Archive, but it could really do with a fully-legal GOG treatment. The problem? It's one of Looking Glass's self-published games, which means that it's currently (like Azrael's Tear) in licensing hell. However, GOG is selling Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri, and that's one I never thought I'd see revived in my lifetime--so anything's possible. Vote for this masterpiece, guys!

All hail the second member of the HALL OF FAME: Submarine Titans

Both Asghan the Dragonslayer and The Reap had a wonderful period, rising up to the list. Get Medieval and Take No Prisoners were the other games which have drawn some attention.

Shadowcaster and Take No Prisoners jumped high in ranks this week. Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy also had a pretty good week.
