These are the games I played to death growing up through the 90s and early 2000s. They aren't all my favorites, in fact some of them are awful, but as a child I never knew the difference. This is also the list of a child who grew up in England, so it's fairly Mega Drive (Genesis) and PC based up until later.

The other game I played a lot of on the Atari 2600, most people liked Space Invaders but I really did prefer Defender for some reason.
I played a lot of the original version of Street Fighter released on the SNES, partly because I loved it and partly because it was literally the only good SNES game we owned.
Yes, I too was a victim of the mass poke craze that swept the world in the 90s. I at one point managed to collect all 150 pokemon in the game due to a lot of time and trading put into this game.
I once again fell into the Pokemon craze with Pokemon Yellow. Yes, I played pretty much the exact same game through for a second time and came damn close to once again collecting all 150 Pokemon, my efforts were only cut short by...
