durandl: Marathon 1 & 2 of course. Probably the first FPS I ever played. Today it's one of those forgotten classics that actually defined the genre, together with id games. The reason why nobody seems to know them is because they were release on a Macintosh. Oh and guess what this what Bungie used to make in those days.

Seconded. Source port here:

Tarm: I'll echo Chasm: The Rift and Gunman Chronicles.
Chasm: The Rift
It have great atmosphere, map design, weapon feeling and enemies that feels right to be fighting then and there. Also I really liked the campaign/story progression it led you through somewhat like in Quake.
Gunman Chronicles.
Play the guns how you want them. There are several settings for the guns in the game making you play the game the way you like. It's a fucking extremely gamey feature that other developers seriously have to fucking start to use in their games. It's a hilariously good game feature. Doesn't hurt the game is about space cowboy rangers fighting dinosaurs and robots with an occassional AI. HOORAH!
Edit: Lights on Chasm. The way Chasm use light throughout the game is also one thing that impress me. It's something that enhance atmosphere greatly.
I second Gunman Chronicles, built on Half-Life it's biggest fail was too be "built on Half-Life". It's a really fun shooter.
Chasm The Rift had a lot of cool ideas, but IMO the game itself really sucks.
Fairfox: CyClones
(i cheated)
LOL Good game though. Should be here (and where the hell are Heretic/HeXen?!)
