I mean, Tomb of Horrors was the most evocative during my youth but it was really just a very narrow, specific aspect of D&D (done very, very well, in a way that was very, very evocative to a 10-year old). Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was a great rambling dungeon with all sorts of random, weird stuff. The Giants-Kuo-Toa-Drow sequence may be the answer. But this question, as you can see from the responses that do answer it, often seems to come down to what was most influential in one's youth, one's "Golden Age." I never owned or played Keep on the Borderlands; if I had it may be on my list.If I had to choose, though, it would probably be Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.EDIT: I just read Bullgrit addressing my first paragraph above...It is amazing to me how some folks have such a difficult time playing "make believe" and entering into the limited context of a question as asked and answering it for what it is, rather than essentially saying "WrongBadQuestion!" (RPGers seem especially prone to this <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />). I'm reminded of how my high school students hate making compromises and always want things to fit their highest ideals or they lose steam; for them it is age-appropriate, but...I'll leave it at that.</blockquote>
