The Secret of Monkey Island had great atmosphere, not sure how typical that is for adventure games, but it really drew you right in.

Hardwar is just about /vr/ and that has some of the greatest atmosphere I've experienced.

Concentrated comfiness.

There's something about that game that puts me into this serene, childlike state of wonderment and wanderlust. It's just a quaint Japanese suburb, and actually living there would probably be boring as shit, but through some unholy magic, Shenmue makes exploring everything SO MUCH FUN. I can't think of any other vidya that had this effect on me.
