Shadowrun was epic. Put so many hours into that game and finished it.
Suikoden was great too. The later ones in the series were kind of crappy, but I enjoyed 1,2 and 3.
FF3 is simply the best RPG of all time IMHO. So many characters, skills and options, such a good story, memorable villians.
It also had so many different Easter egg type things in it (getting Edgar's Chainsaw from the clock) - certain items you could only get from stealing from certain monsters. I feel newer games generally lack this type of thing.
With Esper leveling, you could completely customize your character's stats and turn them into Gods. I think I pumped Edgar's magic power in the game by 5-6x what his base was, his "Ultima" did 9999 with up to 8 targets.
