Remember we are talking about not touching the game play, just the graphics.
Dune 2, the Grand daddy of all RTS, yes we got dune2000 and Emperor but they messed with the gameplay toooooo mych imo. I for one liked being able to manufactor multiple units.
X-Wing / Tie fighter, awesome gameplay and graphics were actually good for their time, but could really really shine with todays technology. Only game on the PC I bought a joystick for.
Colonization, I cannot tell you the number of hours wasted on this game.
Syndicate, there was the sequel syndicate wars but the first one was best imo.
Ultima VII Part 1, was the best of the ultima series. Part 2 was not as good and I hated Ultima 8. After it when to 3rd person I never bothered again.
Privateer 2, again a brilliantly playable game.
Finally, probably the game that is the reason that most of us older players like eve, Elite, but as I keep saying dont mess with the gameplay just graphics. Elite 2, was ok ish, just buggy as hell, and well first encounters........

99% of the above is said in RP. The Other 1% is personal, and should be taken that way. :P

ooooo so many great games listed already.
Top of the list HAS to be 'Carrier command' I played it recently on an emulator and it's just not how I remember it :)
I guess way back in the Amiga days games took a little imagination as it looks a tad dated!
Another classic is the original Syndicate, probably the first game I ever played that made me unhappy I had finished it.
And finally, to whoever mentioned Starcraft.....This game is still a classic and is still very popular, it doesn't need revamping and ruining thankyou please!

Lots of good ones in the list but have to add my own from the Atari ST/Amiga days and older :-
Starglider 1&2 (God the intro theme song 'Starglider....... from Rainbird [Echo])
Barbarian - How good would it be for the head cut off manouveur
Virus - another braben hit
Conqueror - based on the virus engine but with tanks
Cuthbert in Space/in the Mines (Dragon32/64 anyone???)
Jet Set Willy (Spectrum Days - how I miss the rubber keyboard)
I'm sure theres more but I'd run out of space eventually
