Aside from that, the only other game I still remember vividly, with a white-hot burning rage....
E.T. for the Atari.
Enough said, I think...

My amstrad pcw 8256, which had a beautiful green screen, which i assume meant that they could pretend that it was a colour screen, even though there ws only 1 of them, had some of the best games ever on it. Pacman, Frogger and loads of other games.
Then my spectrum, which was the disk drive version had some cool games, which i cant remember, but it was my master system that hooked me onto games forever. Sonic really was the best game ever. And alex the kidd was pretty fun, alongside wonder boy in monsterland. Amusingly i was playing the emulator version of wonder boy in monsterland the other day and for some unknown reason i had the feeling that i really wanted to jump at a particular place in the game and it opened up a secret coin. Ahh, i havent played that game for about 10 years, when i was 7, yet its still permenantly burnt into my brain. Scary. Do video games affect us? Nah....

Ah, what a beautiful OT post... Seeing how I'm 35, and I think I got an atari 2600 when I was about 10, that'd make for 25 years of pretty much solid gaming. I probably should get a dna test on my kids when I get home now that I think about it. :scratch:

Wow, people after my own heart. Really I couldn't possibly pick a favorite but here are a few of the tops.
Atari 2600
Yars Revenge (my first love)
Indiana Jones
(Ahab - I didn't think anyone else knew Indiana Jones existed or like Yars Revenge)
Nintendo
Final Fantasy And Metal Gear (no number on either)
As far as Final fantasy goes, Everything GooberGrape says, except maybe the tattoo. This one probably gets the number one spot.
Others
Warcraft 2
My first network multiplayer game.
Grand Theft Auto 3 (I can drive around for hours making up so many different mini-games its great.
Oh, and Diablo 2 is working its way up there.

Dragon Warrior and Tetris for NES.
Tecmo Super Bowl for SNES. You could get some insane QB ratings with that.
Heroes of Might and Magic III for PC.

OK, this might win the "ancient computer game" prize. When I was 4 or so, a little while before Atari came out, my father--who worked at Bell Labs--brought home a computer. There was no monitor, just a built-in printer that put out text on a huge roll of paper. The game was the original "Adventure." Anyway, I can still vividly remember being completely enthralled, sitting around the kitchen table with my dad, while that monstrous suitcase of a computer spat out text every time we made a move. Good times, good times. Now he's addicted to Morrowind 
How the heck did I manage to forget Ultima 7 in my list earlier? That game was HUGE, and had a much darker story than the other Ultimas--I mean, you were finding ritually dismembered corpses all over the place!
Sir Lister, sorry to disappoint, but the keyboard isn't very redefinable in the full version of X2 either. Mind you, if the game didn't have occasional user interface flaws, I'd probably never play anything else!

Ahhh... this brings back memmories of when I was about 4 or so and my father (who worked at Bell Labs) brought home a huge terminal we plugged the phone into and I sat on his lap and played Adventure, sitting at the kitchen table. It printed text onto a very thin roll of sheet paper. Great times, great times.
