Phantasy Star IV
missile command, arcade
Zork
Star Flight, 1986(?). Huge universe, multiple alien races, reputational, on two 360k floppy disks, and a great story too.
Star Control II .
A wonderful game, but I have always been fond of its spiritual predecessors: Starflight and Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula.
What a great game. It made me imagine what it would be like to travel such a wonderfully large universe.
Apparently the original team behind Star Control is making a direct sequel to II, since SC 3 was done by a different studio and did not follow the storyline that the creators had in mind.
And it’s supposed to be released this year. They are calling it “Free Stars: Children of Infinity”, since they don’t own the rights to the Star Control name. But they do own all the rights to the content in SC 1and SC 2, so this could be fun!

I did like SC 3 as well, but it wasn’t nearly as great as SC 2. I can barely remember the main storyline.
Might and Magic III

Gauntlet (arcade 4 person game)
When my local arcade was shutting down around 2000 or so I almost bought their 4 player Gauntlet machine for really cheap. I had to decline once I realized that I didn’t have a way to get it home and my front door was too small to fit to through.
If I ever get rich it’s on my must buy list
Galaga
