Some of them that come to mind for me are:

FitGirl's Escape from Tarkov repack that featured a single player mod
FitGirl's Half Life Alyx repack that with the NoVR mod
Gnarly's Tale of Two Wastelands repack that had everything ready to go after the install. No need to install both Fallout 3 & New Vegas and wait hours for things to compile

For me it was downloading Quarantine that i originally had in 1994 on 3DO. Not the game so much, just that i totally forgot copy protection was done via physical codes back then.

here's how it looked, for example the game would give you a Weight and MPH value and you'd have to supply the 3 digit number that corresponds

"This a scan of the "Red Card", a copy protection scheme for Quarantine. This was black text on a deep red background that was hard to copy by black and white copiers of the era. Color copiers, which cost about a dollar a page had to be used. "

The copy protection for Quarantine was particularly interesting because it was thematic. Given the weight of a pedestrian and the speed of your car, how far will the body fly?
