Diablo and Diablo 2 (not Resurrected)

I think Diablo 2 even came with an extra disc specifically so you could give it to your friend to play via LAN. Then these fuckers removed the option in Resurrected even though they promised they wouldn't.

StarCraft and the old Warcraft games work via LAN as well.

Quake, Doom, Unreal (Tournament), Half Life

StarCraft you could use the same disk to “spawn install” to play with your friends. I think they could only play as Terran though.
