Ultima Underworld is the pick of the year. Darklands is great too. Realms of Arkania is okay.
Alone in the Dark is a pretty solid game, prefer it to Resident Evil. Wolfenstein 3D is what it is; its simplicity being both a strength and weakness. Spear of Destiny is a small step up from the base game, level-design wise.
It's worth mentioning Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, a cool adventure game based on Star Trek TOS. It's outclassed by its sequel Judgment Rites in pretty much every way imaginable but it's still a nice game.

Dune II is still fun to play, because it is so simple and straightforward.
End a campaign as Atreides (the most interesting), and move to another game. Back in 1992 of course we would do the 3 campaigns

You're going to make about 30 of these fucking things?

If you're interested you can skip 25th Anniversary and play Judgment Rites, it's the best Star Trek game ever made IMO. 25th Anniversary is a bit bland and the missions are short and incredibly straightforward, but Judgment Rites gets the feeling of the TV show down perfectly, it just puts you in crazy sci-fi plots and lets you try to experiment your way out of them. A few of the missions would easily translate into good episodes.
Another big year for games. I doubt much holds up today but there were some important games and some might still hold up. Stuff like:
Alone in the Dark
Dune - the sequel is the famous one but I think this original one was better and more impressive. It still birthed RTS, it just wasn't as obvious.
Hardball 3 - I think this was a pretty good baseball game.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - One of the best adventure games I've played. Probably top 3.
Mortal Kombat
Space Crusade - I loved this game, friends at school played it too. I played it more recently and it was still good.
Stunt Island - Unique game, interesting, fun, probably still fun today if you can get past the aged graphics.
Ultima Underworld - badass!
Wiz 7
Wolfenstein 3d - maybe the most important/significant game of all time?

Wizardry 7. I've heard it's pretty decent.

1992 was generally inferior to 1991, but for RPGs it did have Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, Black Crypt, Ishar: Legend of the Fortress, Dark Queen of Krynn (and the two D&D console games), Ultima VII, Wizardry VII, Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen, and Darklands.
Other notable Amiga-originals, aside from Black Crypt and Ishar:
Agony, the best owl-based shoot-'em'-up ever
Flashback
Also Apidya, Ashes of Empire, and Pinball Dreams/Fantasies
Other games: The Lost Treasures of Infocom compilation, Wolfenstein 3D, Contra III, Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder, and Knights of the Round

There are no games made in those years that are worth "playing" in earnest now, apart from experiencing a bit of nostalgia for when you were young and / or playing them using a very good sourceport.
Only exception are probably adventure games.

I have thousands of hours in CoD, bought the latest one too, and I do annual playthroughs of both Wolf3D and SoD.

Funny, for some reason I thought Eye of Beholder 2 was '92 release.
Well, he's not entirely wrong here. Over 30 years, Wolfenstein has spawned a thousand of near identical games all of which do everything better. Unless you've got a hardon for lel teh robo-Hitler meme, there are hundreds of superior products to scratch the same itch with.
I wish the same could be said about the lost art of early 90s RPGs.

Unfortunately for every hour you played cod you need to put at least a 100 in wolf3d to maintain codex cred.
So you still have a lifetime of wolf3d to compensate for the decline.

No, but I refuse to be limited to the province of PC peons.
Also, emulators can play anything.
