I've already voted for all of these:
(For my husband and son)
Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2
Doom series
Nerf Arenablast
Wolfenstein
Commander Keen
Midtown Madness
~ PUZZLERS ~
Shadowgate (any, but especially the re-imagined one)
Civilization 1 & 2
Pandora's Box (GOTY)
Tetris (some of the variations on the original were fun too)
Lemmings, Oh No More Lemmings, and Lemmings 2 The Tribes
original Humans (puzzle game)
Everett Kaser's collection of logic games
~ ADVENTURE GAMES ~
Eric the Unready (and its sequel - if it was ever made)
Freddy Pharkas & Laura Bow (old Sierra adventures)
Starship Titanic
LucasArts Adventures: original Monkey Island series, Grim Fandango, Loom, Maniac Mansion, original Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Zak McKracken etc...
Discworld 1, Discworld 2, Discworld Noir
Sherlock Holmes series (adventure games)
Agatha Christie mysteries (adventure games & HOGs)
Riddle of Master Lu (I've bought mine 2ndhand and have never gotten it to work, but it sounded fascinating!)
Other older adventures like Celtica, Riddle of the Sphinx, Omega Stone, Rhem series, Crystal Key 1 + 2, Timelapse, Cameron Files, Toonstruck, Neverhood, Schizm, Reah, Lighthouse, Morpheus, AGON, Ankh 1, Bad Mojo, Weekend in Capri & Anacapri, Alida, and Tony Tough (gross but funny)
GoG has the Zork series, Feeble Files, Simon the Sorcerer, Gabriel Knight, and some of Myst, Tex Murphy, Darkfall (Boakes was the break-out Indy guy), Sierra's KIng's Quest/Space Quest etc, and some other 'must haves' for adventure game fans, but there are a lot more worth playing. Once people find out they like an adventure game like Myst, and that there are relatively few available now, they look for these titles 2ndhand due to recommendations, so if GoG can get them cheap, it should be a moneymaker for them. I'd be happy to repurchase many of these to run on modern machines, as my finances allow.
Excellent edutainment 'adventures'
Macaulay's How Things Work 2.0 & Pinball Science
Bioscopia, Physica, Chemicus
Dr Brain games
Humongous kids' games: Freddy Fish, Spy Fox, Putt Putt (I don't need them for myself, but it would be nice if they were available to today's families)
The classics from from old Infocom that aren't Zork. I love Zork, but they released other classics too: esp: Trinity, Bureaucracy, , Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, [url=http://infocom.elsewhere.org/gallery/nordbert/nordbert.html]Nord & Bert Couldnt Make Head or Tail of It, Hollywood Hijinx etc
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Text_Adventure_Masterpieces_of_Infocom or http://infocom.elsewhere.org/gallery/greybox.html
(I personally have a number of them onstore-bought cds from the 90's, but would love to know a forward compatible version was available)
~ Assorted ~
Chronotrigger, FF VI & VII, Mario rpgs
(Yes, I know, these aren't at all likely, but you asked)
more Adventure, Puzzle. & Hidden Object Games generally...
