I keep a Windows 2000 virtual machine with no network access around just to occasionally play HOMM 3.

There aren't many games from that era that are as infinitely replayable. Command and Conquer: Yuri's Revenge and Starcraft come to mind.

Yuri's Revenge never gets old - it's just the right balance of RTS with a bit more of an arcadey feel. Sadly I missed the original Starcraft train (finished Starcraft II), but one of these days I'm going to sit down and work my way through it.

The story still holds up really well. Plus if you can't deal with the classic graphics there is StarCraft remastered.
