I idea shamelessly copied from avforums.
I think for me it would have to be (time-line not necessarily in order).....................
Elite - still my all time fave game, I cant wait for ED. At a time where gaming was mostly a 10 min score attack all of a sudden out of no where a game you could play for hrs on end and you could LIVE the life of a space explorer.
Kick-off 2 / player manager - a very close 2nd for the game I ploughed most of my time into. Every Sat afternoon it was a religion, fire up a world cup whilst listening to live commentary (of man united if possible) on GMR
Horace goes skiing - ok this should not really be here, but this is the 1st ever game I loaded on to MY 1st ever home computer. 1982 was a magical xmas. I have since learned that this was the only thing outside of a car/house my parents ever purchased on finance as at the time they could not afford the £150.
ridge racer (PS1) the 1st time I ever really felt I owned something truly comparable to an arcade in my home. (honorary mention to wipeout in the same vein)
Half Life 1/2 - There are lots of genre defining FPSers I could mention, Neither HL1 or HL2 were the 1st, its not the prettiest but as a story they completely nailed it. Everything about the games ooze class, and whilst the episodic content never did it for me, these 2 games were perfect, and who knows I may yet pay ravenholm another visit when i get the rift.
Secret of Monkey island. - Again, there are a number of classic lucas arts games in this bracket, but the humour and solid story telling from SOMI1 & 2 make these 2 of the best point and click adventures of all time imo. Who doesnt love a bit of guybrush.... How much wood could a wood chuck chuck??????
& finally, Stunt Car Racer.
Fab Fab Fab game I spent hrs playing this, both single player and linked up via a null modem cable. I would dearly love this game to be remade (Can you imagine the rollercoaster on the rift?). I almost hated F1GP simply because it took Geoff Crammond away from a new stunt car racer.
***also just remembered wing commander but I already have 1 space game in there
