The first one.  It's the only one I could ever get into and enjoy.  I 
did replay it some time ago and quite enjoyed it.  Maybe even my replay 
of it is too long ago now though.

I was actually on the fence about Ultima, and I was almost thinking of 
saying Temple of Apshai which probably holds up better in its simplicity.

There's also the issue of what year a 'classic' is.  I'll note those are 
all PC games as well, other than GTA which was also on console and 
that's where I played it, and is I think the newest on my list.
