Personally, it is the original Operation Flashpoint (2001). Whereas the series continues to evolve into the Arma. I love Arma 2 but struggle with Arma 3 - Whilst 3 is excellent, the future scenario (when compared to 2) just leaves me somewhat cold.

Anyway back to the point of this thread.

I remember PC Zone magazine raving about the Mission Editor (back in the day) as the game editor was supplied with Op Flash. I simply overlooked the editor at the time as it looked too complicated. The trouble was; in my view, when multi player games really started to take off (Quake, Team Fortress, DOD and Counter Strike) faffing about with an editor was not really appealing.

Anyway. What a mistake, years later, by trial and error, I gave it a go. Talk about a sand box!

When you consider the scope of what the developers were achieving and that you can make your own missions is incredible. Flashpoint never ceases to amaze me and still brings out those "what the..." unscripted and comical moments - For me a must have. :)
 
I think it's Command and Conquer: Red Alert. Unless the old DOS games count running through DOSBox?

Gog games count :) I have a few games purchased on GOG which I have yet to play. My GOG games collection is the same as Steam - No clue as to how and when I will ever play! I resign (rather console) myself as stating I am a collector.
