Doom 2 is a classic FPS shooter released in 1994, and one of my personal favorite games that inspired me to be a game designer. With the source port GZDoom, which helps run the 30+ year old game on modern computers, it also adds new features such as hi-res graphics and shaders, as well as full modding functionality for users to keep making content.
