Ultima 7
U7: Serpent Isle
Ultima Online
To this you may add the wonderful Ultima 4, 6 and the 2 underworld games and others i forgot. Then he contributed to the greatness of many other origin games.
I'm very glad He's back, even tho I was very disappointed by TR. I just hope his new MMO (or offline game whichever) will be a really new gaming experience and not oriented to the average young casual mmo player... but a deep and fun game for mature folks.
That's what we are missing since the good old times, my dear liege of Britannia. Games for older persons, just as U7 was. Cause you'll find that there are people who own a PC and are potential gamers, these are new and vast slices of market still uncovered and undervalued.
Please read this, We still love you, the fisher/knight parable is always in our hearts. :)

I think it's fair to say when I say new talent, I didn't mean what you implied 'new kid', there are a hell of a lot of people in the MMO industry who could push the envelope, and you've fallen foul of the main problem with current games, they are the product of "teams", not individuals and the longer we have assclowns like Garriott telling us what he is doing next, the worse it is for MMO players...

Zork I, II and III was incredible in their time. Anyone remember Return to Zork?
RG made the same game several times, and I'm sure they're all fantastic. Personally, I beta'd TR, and I bought TR, and I'm sorry but it just never held my attention. I'll give whatever he does next a chance, but right now I still think he's an overpaid budget liability.
