Not sure if this question is referring to both gameplay and graphics, or just one or the other, but, still, here are my picks out of the GOG games I own, and some other titles I'm interested in but still hadn't had the money to buy:
Sanitarium (graphics look cool, gameplay-wise it's just your run-of-the-mill point-and-click adventure game, but the story... hell. Holds up today, will probably always hold up)
Planescape: Torment (do I need to say anything regarding this superb game?)
Beyond Good & Evil (not *that* old, but it shows what classic adventure games could have been, when adapted to modern audiences. It's a shame a sequel was never made, and that these kind of adventure games somewhat fell into oblivion)
Broken Sword series (at least the first two installments; those cartoon graphics were mind-blowing at the time, they still look pretty good today)
Psychonauts (not that old, I know; the graphics are quite outdated, by today's standards, but the art direction more than makes up for that; plus, when it comes to pretty much everything else, it's just stellar)
Clive Barker's Undying (just try it. Please. It looks old and ugly in screenshots and videos, but once you've played it... you'll know what I mean)
One Unit Whole Blood (amazing, classic early FPS unforgiving game, superb art direction -- even though you do have to be able to enjoy what devs made with the Build engine, back then, bearing in mind the game *will* look "bad" compared to, say, Half-Life 2, but its art direction is amazing nonetheless, and it shows what the Build engine was actually capable of)
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee/Abe's Exoddus (probably the best puzzle platformers you could play on a PC; graphics do look old, but they still maintain the charm and "strangeness" we remember them for)
Nox (please, please, please: TRY IT! I hold this game in the highest regard. It came out before Diablo II and introduced some things that are now standard in action CRPGs/hack-n-slash games. Art direction is amazing, story is engaging and sometimes very funny, gameplay is as intuitive, enjoyable and fluid as they come)
Earthworm Jim 1&2: The Whole Can O' Worms (classic platforming fun, hard difficulty level, old-school cartoony 2D graphics, plenty of over-the-top humor. A lot of people don't know this, but the cartoon was the one inspired by the games, and not the other way around. Earthworm Jim had such a preposterous setting and was so greatly animated that they thought it would make a great cartoon. Which, in fact, it did. The games are better, though)
There are more, oh, yes, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
