These games might not be the best ever and depending on when you ask me I might say something completely different but these are the games I might tell you if you jumped at me and forced me to answer the question at the drop of a hat. I might regret it later but if I were forced to say something fast these are games that might come to mind. The numbers on the list might not represent the order of wich these games should be in.
I´m probably closing in on around 2000 games played during my lifetime now not counting small indie games, arcades, web based games and similar stuff like that. The task of picking and choosing only a few of them is really, when it comes down it, impossible for me. But here I am anyway..

PC Adventuring in its prime. By Tim Schafer and Lucas Arts. Golden !
Arguably the best feeling shooter of all time. With a progaming scene that was my home for years. Will it ever feel old? Probably not.
A perfect mix of dark humor, management and strategy that came to reserve a very special place in my heart. It might have alot to do with the timing it had with great stuff in my life but Dungeon Keeper is overlooked way to often.
It might not actually be the best mario game anymore but when Mario 3 was released it really hit hard and by now its totally impossible to erase the nostalgia that this game awakens.
Started my obsession with both PC Adventures AND Pirates that´s still going strong. Pirates, the carribean, tropical islands, parrots or root beer. Its all stuff that really became a part of my person after spending a great deal of my youth with Guybrush and friends.
Man I really hate to chose a favorite Zelda game but when I really think back to the best Zelda memories I have they mostly come from this SNES titan. So much of the Zelda atmosphere was perfected in this particular title. I often want to go back and play this again but I really dont want to break the good memories.
Its really 2 things that make Doom special for me. The obvious one is the impact it had on gaming as a whole and the other one is the fantastic story behind it. The story of Romero, Carmack and the early days of ID is one that is very close to my heart.
At some point over 4 years you start to think of it as obsession and something more than a hobby and that alone cannot be ignored as something that has to be on the list. But WoW was really an insane game even before all that. The first steps in Azeroth was some of the best first steps in gaming just because of the world itself.
Its really the same thing as with WoW. WC3 consumed most of my gaming time for years with its fast paced multiplayer. But man, the story of Warcraft 3 is so much more about memories of the campaign, the lore, the music and the atmosphere. And its all unforgettable.
Really opened up a new world for me on my old 386 computer. Days could be gamed away trading spices, building colonies and exploring a brave new world. This is really THE Sid Meier game for me, even in the Civilazation world we´re living in.
