Probably Chasm: The Rift.

It was not the first game I had seen, and it had been a bit dated back then. Still, those enemies, models, weapons, powerups, and special effects made an impression. Each object in the game felt heavy and thick, and tiny details like smoke puffs added polish.

IIRC, it was a bit picky about VESA support on various video cards (or buggy), and only offered about 3 slow legacy video modes on some. However, on a powerful computer at school I could use jaw-dropping 1280×960, start a multiplayer server, and watch 4 player chase cams at once! Way ahead of its time in many aspects.

I think Dosbox emulation makes certain things happen a bit too fast, and other things lag, but it runs fine overall. I might be wrong here, though.

Hard question. There are a lot of games that deserve consideration.
