Inspiring me to make games? For Combatant: From Peasant to Knight, I'd say Titans of Steel, ADOM, and good old AD&D. For horror games (should I ever make any), I'd say X-Com 2, Jason (all of em), and Silent Hill (series).

Doesn't everyone play ADOM? Either that or Nethack. I actually get pretty far in both these days without even 'cheating'.
Hmm... perhaps it's time for me to check if there's a new version out there again.
