Probably too late now since the OP hasn't logged in 5 months, but I was in the same boat. I hadn't tried playing any pre-1996 PC RPGs (earliest game here was Daggerfall since I am/was a big ES fan) up until a few weeks ago when I was convinced to purchase or wishlist a bunch of older series after playing and falling in love with Wizardry 8 (my first blobber). I reckoned that I might actually like the blobber type of RPG, as I previously mainly played isometric RPGs (barring Gothic and ES games, which are in third/first person). Since I'll be going back to early 1990s, I decided to also play the other RPGs released during this time.
Similar to the recommendations here I've started off with M&M III, but I've got a good backlog of games which I'll be playing over the course of this year:
Nice, the list (2014) seems to be quite different from the recent one I had went through (2019?). Played 100% of the top 10, 75% of the top 20, and 63% of the top 30. Playing the games on my wishlist/backlog will bring me up to 90% of the top 30, which is more respectable.

- Might & Magic III-VIII

- Ultima Underworld I-II
- Darklands
- Land of Lore 1-2
- Betrayal at Krondor
- Grimoire (not old, but like I said I'm new to the sub-genre)
- Knights of the Chalice
- Wizards and Warriors
- ToEE (not sure why I never played this tbh, I think it was riddle with bugs in the past?)
