Super Mario Bros 3. It was the first video game I'd ever played. That was my gateway drug.
I used to know that game like the back of my hand. Any time I pick it back up, it feels like visiting an old, childhood home.
Quest for Glory and Kyrandia!
I loved that Quest for Glory soundtrack.
Is Kyrandia the one where you play a jester in the 3rd game? I remember liking that one a lot.
I did t know you play as Malcolm in the third game! I’ll have to play the second and third once I’m done with a replay of the first one!

Mancala. omg I still remember learning how to play in Kindergarten and I'm almost 30 now. This game was probably my very first addiction.
I discovered Mancala as a minigame in a shareware demo of Quest for Glory III, for a long time I thought they made it up for that game lol
I'd say it's a tie between The Curse of Monkey Island and Wing Commander (1 and 2).

Toejam & Earl! My dad got a deal on a used sega genesis when I was 6 and it came with one game, it ended up being my favorite. The presents and little pixel sundaes were so visually appealing to my simple child brain, sneaking up on santa claus successfully was absurdly satisfying, and discovering the secret level 0 hot tub pre-internet made me feel like a fucking wizard.
The Star Wars arcade game.
Sunset Riders SNES.
Secret of Mana. Played it with friends like crazy. One even had the extension thing to connect 3 controllers - guess where we hung out most of the time.

Ultima 7
-Operation Wolf Dad would watch me play. He would bring other people to come in and watch how good I was. -Mario Golf Dad would play with us, he even kept a spreadsheet, on grid paper, to track his stats. -Ultima 3 First game on a PC. Mom got it to play with me and my little sister after Dad died. She couldn't figure out how to get it to work. I ended up playing it alone years later, but only after learning enough MS-DOS to figure out how to even get it running. CD..

Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I wish I could say Sonic 3 & Knuckles but we weren't swimming in money so I very rarely got a new game (and just to add, I never threw controllers or punched TVs either because mommy wouldn't just buy me a new one if I did that).
I did rent out Sonic & Knuckles occasionally though. But I can practically picture the early level layouts of Sonic 3 in my mind like they're familiar streets that I grew up in.
Legend of Mana and Megaman Legend. Can we get a legend 3, capcom?
Legend of Mana is an amazing game. It's a game that showed me that nostalgia isn't just about the game but the people with whom you spent playing the game with. I tried playing it again when I got my V10. I thought, this is a wonderful game. It's got a great soundtrack, great spritework. I love these characters. I love making the map. Only catch is it's just me putzing around here. and I really miss playing this with someone else. I saw they remastered it, but there's really no point on account of what I said. It's truly a lovely game though.

Any of the cluefinders games, or gizmos and gadgets. Plenty of other edutainment classics do it too. Outside of edutainment, only NHL2000 and Halo: CE come to mind.
Spore
Stronghold, the isometric one
Handheld Zelda link's awakening for the Gameboy hits me the hardest as it was the first I owned myself bought with my first jobs mowing lawns and delivering papers.
Console, NES contra watching my older brothers get way further than I could at the time & teach me the Konami code
PC xwing, I had a f16 flight stick and my siblings would play splitting weapons/shield/engines distribution to a copilot and the pilot flying and aiming. That mission where you have to fly back and forth protecting the Corvette from imperial attacks from both sides jumping in and out of the area was peak retro space combat gaming.
At the risk of sounding ancient: Lifeforce on the NES.
Final fantasy 7, Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye 007, Final Fantasy 10, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1, Digimon World all bring a nostalgia factor. But probably, final fantasy 7 brings the most nostalgia. I have played that game again every 3-4 years since I was 12.
Minecraft, it will always be minecraft. Its the only game I can't help but come back to every year atleast
Final Fantasy 8 and Crash Bandicoot.
Blake Stone aliens of Gold
Ghostbusters on C64. Love that game to this day.
Megaman 2
Master of magic
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons on the SNES. The opening music alone is magical in my memory
Beyond Good and Evil for me it was a very unexpected good game with fantastic music and atmosphere.
Super Mario Galaxy
Aaaaaand now I feel old.
I played Tenchu recently, and it was just as good as it was the first time I played it. Those controls are jank, but it's really a fun game regardless. It has a wonderful soundtrack, and it feels foreboding which is lovely for a ninja game. I feel the same sense of dread that I do as if I were playing a horror game or something. It's quite good!
Lion King on the SNES.
I played. And played. And played. I took that game and system with me when I left home and I took it with me all across the country. And then I finally beat it on a 12 hour graveyard shift with a friend. We were on our last life and were going to be dead. And it happened. The only time in my life I ever beat the game was after 15 years of unsuccessful attempts.
There are so many good memories. Its hard to choose.
On PC it's Atlantis, by Cryo Games. It was a point and click, like Myst. I liked the story telling.
On snes it's Terranigma. Also because of the story. But the most played game for me was Super Metroid.
A special mention needs to go out to the entire GTA series, because I grew up with them.
Classic Concentration, based on the TV game show!
Broken telephone
Monsters, Inc.: Scream Team
