Here are my picks for greatest games i've played, in no particular order

PC :

Everquest - no game has captured my interest for 3 years and never got boring
Half Life - this game just flat out rocks
Baldur's Gate - Set the standard for RPG's, great story and playability
Doom - old as hell, but it's the grandaddy of the FPS. Plus it was amazing when it first came out.
Grand Theft Auto 3 - Game was awesome. I couldn't believe it when i first saw it. The first 2 were sorta lame, hehe
NES :

Super Mario Bros - Everyone has played this game and back in the day, it's was the bomb.
Metroid - Ruled, musta completed that game about 30 times in a row to get that chick to take her helmet off! :)

Old School :

Pac-Man - ruled the arcade back in the day and was a huge craze.
Karateka - i remember playing this in junior high on my apple 2e, it kicked butt!
Oregon Trail - see above post ;)

plenty of other great games that i can't think of atm.
 
Tetris - Every gaming device known to man!

omg, how could i have forgotten tetris. Man that damn game was so addicting. I remember borrowing my best friends gameboy and my mom found it and asked what tetris was. i showed her how to play and should wouldn't give it back!! lol I think my mom played it twice as much as i did until i gave it back to my friend. she then had withdrawls
and needed much therapy thereafter (j/k) hehe
:D

Heh, thats funny, my mom was addicted to tetris too! She never plays video games, i think that was the only game she ever played. And yup, she played it more than I did.
 
Roadblasters (Arc)
Legend of Zelda (NES)
Lagoon (SNES)
Wolfenstein 3D (PC)
Railroad Tycoon (PC)

...And quite a few others not made in the past 5 years.
 
starcraft/broodwar
final fantasy tactics
battlefield/desert combat
Diablo (ONE) i despise diablo2

edit: oh yeah and frogger for any system except that 3d frogger that was on n64 i think, me and my friend play snes frogger on zsnes netplay all the time
 
Half-life Single player was the best gaming experience of the time.
CS gets best Multiplayer
Metroid Prime is also a good FPS
^^^ FROGGER ROCKS
for most original concept: Metal Gear Solid (MGS2 for the PC sux cos of the crappy controls)
MOHAA also has one of the best first person storylines
Carmageddon/GTA3 - cars are big fast and kill people


AND THE GREATEST OF ALL GAMES OF ALL TIME IS:

Elite <---- required a 286 to run on :D :D
 
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - Multiplayer....by far my favorite game

Raven Sheild
Medal Of Honor: Spearhead
Warcraft 3 (and frozen throne)
Total Annihilation - OH YEA!

Goldeneye
Metal Gear Solid--best PSX game of all time IMO(impressive snake)
Zelda: The Occorina of Time
Most all of the mario games(that I've played)



Just as a side note....I didnt get into gaming till last year (cuz i didnt have a computer that would run anything) so I had NO IDEA what half of those abbreviations were...I picked up on CS(counter strike) but SC was like.....ehh?....lol i think i was in the jungle...but it coulda been a rock too...not sure...lol
