I used to watch my grandfather play that game and A Link to the Past. The guy could barely see but he would beat those games over and over. An absolute favorite!

Some of my fondest memories are of when I would watch him play, and when he would call me on the phone to ask me how to beat a certain boss/dungeon! As 5 year old boy, that was special.

I used to love ES sports games, specifically ice hockey and madden.

then came online poker...... Ahhhh the good old days

I can't do it as often since I live in another province but I always liked playing games with my dad.

A couple of other NES games I absolutely love:

Super Dodge Ball
TMNT
RC Pro AM

This is not an all encompassing list, I am most likely forgetting some extremely important ones! Here are my top 10 that I can think of now.

2. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
3. Harvest Moon (Playstation)
4. Final Fantasy Series (Various Systems)
5. Super Mario RPG (SNES)
6. Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)

8. Silent Hill (Playstation)
9. Resident Evil 2 (playstation)
10. Dragon Warrior Monsters (Game Boy Color)
11. Pokémon Red\Blue\Yellow (Came Boy Color)

Played so much games i can't decide which one would be the greatest.

Maybe Doom or Wolfenstein 3D. Ah... good old days.

And Super Mario on GameBoy.

Space invaders (Commodore super pet)
Many text based RPG games (Commodore super pet)
Monkey Island (Tandy)

They just released a new ROTT game a couple of months ago. I still have my disc of the original laying around somewhere.

Wolfenstein
Zelda
NHL 94'
NBA Jam
Streets of Rage
Duke Nukem 3D
Road Rash
Fable
Skyrim

It's not the best example of the genre, but it's very playable: Syphon Filter on the PS1.

Other favourites over the years:
Grand Theft Auto series (especially San Andreas)
Gran Turismo
Sid Meier's Pirates series (some were really good, others were washed ashore)
Wild Metal Country (I love a good tank battle)
Sim City series
International Karate and IK+ (C64)
Mission Impossible (C64)
Joust
Airborne Ranger
Double Dragon (damn thing ate my future retirement fund)
Gauntlet
Cabal
Exciting Hour
Time Crisis 2

I saw a few here mention Galaga. That's a really good call. Tough game to master but a thing of beauty. It can possibly still be enjoyed today via MAME ROM.

There may have been countless others...legacy of a misspent youth. My son has a Wii - maybe I'm getting old, but the new games aren't as playable as the old games. That may be changing as the graphics benchmark has been easily re-set, and now the focus on actual gaming may be returning.

On the pinball side:
Star Trek: TNG
Judge Dredd (of course!!!)
The Twilight Zone
Red & Ted's Roadshow

Resident evil 2 and 4 Metal gear solid series
