More recently in the old school games, during high school I lost a good chunk of my adolscence to these:

Diablo (PC)
Age of Empires 1 and 2 (PC)
Goldeneye (N64)
Perfect Dark (N64)
F-Zero X (N64)
THPS2 (PSX)
Half Life (PC)

And I also used to play Hugo 1: House of Horrors.

I didn't know how to get past the dog until yesterday. lol
Now I'm still stuck on the mummy part. I can't save my game so I have to keep starting over and over again.

Isn't it amazing how much games have changed (visually) only during our lifetime?

I forgot to mention the Nintendo games of my childhood.

Donkey Kong 1,2 and 3 were the best!
Everything from:
Swinging from those tree things
Those great mine cart levels *GREAT*
The bonus levels where you ride on an animal and get as much points as possible.
Turning into a rhino, emu etc.

And Super Mario World on SNES.

All the Abe's were excellent - all those stupid noises he would make.
Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat are two classics.
Hugo - that weird looking alien thing.
Earthworm Jim
Wolfenstein 3D - anyone got Return to Castle Wolfenstein? It's pretty good, only problem is now it has to compete with Medal of Honor, CS etc.
Wacky Wheels also cool.
Pacman - major 80's.

Thats progress I guess. The upcoming handhelds are more powerful in most areas than the consoles of last generation.
