I haven't (yet) played 15 games I'd recommend, maybe next year? I do have some of your recommendations on my shelves Anyway, here's my list in alphabetical order:

Day of the Tentacle
Myst
Obsidian (haven't finished playing yet but I'll still recommend it)
Riven
Simon the Sorcerer
Simon the Sorcerer 2
Zork Grand Inquisitor
Zork Nemesis

Wouldn't it be interesting to make a list with all the games we'd never ever recommend to our worst enemys?
