Well that was before my time. It was BG1 that introduced me into roleplaying games. The only one of these old games I've ever played was Wizardry 8 and while it was interesting in some regards I cant say it was really great[1].
The best rulesystems for computer roleplaying games are in MMORPGs though. If it was still possible, I would still play Vanguard: Saga of Heroes exactly for this reason, the awesome class implementations (there have been many other reasons of course). Unfortunately of course that game is gone.
D&D on the other hand is odd in many ways because its optimized to be played with pen and paper, not for computers. Still compared to many rulesystems made for computers specifically, like The Elder Scrolls or Dragon Age, it rules supreme.
Even the simplified version of D&D, d20, still works quite nicely.
[1]: To be more specific, the fact that you had to have a fight every five meters made me tired of the game pretty quickly.
