I started playing SNES by the age of 8 and actually never stopped, even nowadays I still love to play.
Street Fighter Alpha 2 is my favorite, definitely the best graphic a SNES game has ever seen.
My favorite Marios are Mario 3 and Super Marios World. I also loved Yoshis Island and as I have Mario All Star .. the others aint too bad either.
International Superstar Soccer (ISS) Deluxe was maybe the game I spent most of the time with. It was the first really good Soccer game and is kind of the precursor of PES.
I also loved games like Mario Kart, Micky Mouse Adventures, Aladdin or F-Zero
PC
Honestly I dont know where to start. So these are in no particular order.
Anstoss 3 is a german Soccer manager series. And it was pretty awesome. The 3d mode was on of the first that really worked out. But the game had several bugs. All in all it was so much fun to play a whole manager career with different clubs and stuff. I prefer EAs FM nowadays, but this is also because the executive chief of the game is the same one who invented Anstoss. (Anstoss means "kick off" in German)
Diablo II LOD is on of the best games I have ever played in case of not having a great graphic and presentation and still making me playing it nowadays. This game is awesome, making you addicted in collecting items and trying new variations of characters. Love it.
Warcraft III TFT is definitely the PC game I have played mostly. The best multiplayer game that has ever been made. And RTS which required understanding and micromanagement. The ladder mode was so motivating. Hell I even repeated class the year I played this game. Just awesome.
NBA live: I started with the 98 series which was pretty weak but I really loved it. As a lil child with no idea of the NBA it really aroused my interest. Hell, this is why I love the NBA and basketball today. 2000 was definitely the best NBA live considering when it was done. 2005 was my 2nd favorite. Since I have a ps3 I know prefer the 2k series. But I wont forget what this game meant to me then
GTA is also a game that has always amazed me. Being free and being able to do what you want in a city was always appealing to me. GTA 2 was the first GTA that really got me. I did not play GTA III really often since my CPU just wasnt good enough. But I loved Vice City and SA. Got GTA IV just 5 days ago for my ps3 and its just so cool. The idea of the whole game is just ingenious.
FIFA and PES: I only liked FIFA 98. I can remember when I got this was for Christmas and played against my brother for two hours this night. Just a great game. The other FIFAs never reached the excitement of 98. After some disappointing FIFA games I started with Pro Evo 3. And until now every Pro Evo got better and this series is the best soccer series.
Did anybody play this game ? Jagged Alliance 2 is so nice. Never played another game in which I started loving my characters so much. You really get sad when someone of your troop dies. And you do your best that this doesnt happen. Also a game that gives you great freedom in how to play.
Other games I loved to play: Hitman: great, you dont need to kill anyone except your target person. Its like a puzzle where you have to put together each stone perfectly to absolve the mission with a perfect grad. I remember one night with a friend we were doing a mission but had to kill too many people and decided to complete it perfectly .. it took us 2 hours and 20 attempts until we really knew how to stay undercover.
Max Payne: I dont like shooters, but this game really managed to get me hooked on. Thats also because it is quite easy ^^ if you just can slow mo everything. Very nice though.
Age Of Empires: Strange that nobody has mentioned it. The best game when it comes to having huge emperial fights. Funny with its economic part, too.
Sooo many games .. I must be a Nerd ... actually now I think about being one ^^ I did not before.

Especially with its soundtrack, oozing with 90s charm.
