Z was released 30 years ago on 24th August 1996.
A game obviously created before online search engines.
The box cover is incredibly cool and memorable, though. Every time I saw it on shelves in stores, it was immediately drawing attention. Game reviews here in Germany were extremely positive, but I never knew anyone who had this game and it seems to have been very quickly forgotten.

The expansion Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal was released 30 years ago on 16th May 1996 for DOS.
I believe this was one of the very first official expansions for a PC game, which became quite common for many big games in the following years.

Die Siedler II was released 30 years ago in Germany on 17th April 1996 for DOS.
Alongside X-Wing and Worms, this was one of the first games that I played for a considerable time and really understood how to play, other than having a turn at platformer or fighting games on a friend's console.

While I was playing around with my non-representative list of 517 videogames from 1994 to 2001 that I consider to be classics and thinking about still having only one game for #1996InVideoGames yet, I calculated the percentages for the game releases in each month for the 8 years.
Not only is the Christmas Window very real, getting games pushed out before the end of the quarter and not when they are ready was also very real.

Did NOT know the 90s Mac game Glypha got a modern remake that's now on Steam, 'Glypha Vintage'!
Glypha was a 90s Mac clone of Joust, and when I was a kid, this is one of the Mac games I was hooked on when the family got a Performa (I'm currently working on a blog post on my favorite 90s Mac games).
This is wild -- thanks to @1Bit for tipping me off to it!
