So many games now, I dont think a single list really works.
Super metroid and world of warcraft simply are not the same thing. They do not belong on the same list for games.

1: Super Metroid. to this day the gold standard for story through gameplay. no fucking tutorial slapping you on the face with press A to jump. Gameplay was a natural evolution of exploration. Pretty much the perfect console game. Speedruns, etc. my god. the replay value in alternative gameplay.

2: Tetris. lets be honest. Everyone has played it. Everyone has the song engrained in their brains.

3: Diablo 2:LoD Path of exile finally might be a contender. lets see in 10 years where PoE stands.

4:... really breaking down at this point.. A hundreds of games that are genre defining, breakout success,etc.. Super mario world?, A link to the past? ocarina?, LoL?, symphony of the night? FF6?, DQ8?, SF2?, BG2?, Secret of monkey island3? Wow, if I do include mmos. could really just go on and on. simcity 2000, peggle, minesweeper, wiisports, quake3, nethack, Dwarffortress, ...
At this point it really is just apples to oranges for most, and I can't possibly really say one is better then the other.

Home:

1) Wizardry
2) Wing Commander
3) Civilization
4) Starcraft
5) Doom

And for the fun of it (for those of us old enough to remember old-school arcades)...

Arcade:

1) Centipede
2) Defender
3) Missile Command
4) Street Fighter 2

I rank my favorites as ones I played the most.

Everquest
Asherons Call 2
Diablo 2
Battlefield 2
Racing games: too many to list and I play them all for 100's of hours.

Ask me again in a month and that list changes, almost put Skyrim on there but still have more time into Oblivion.

Hmmm. Games I spent the most time on:

Street Fighter series
Everquest
Half Life

Then it all gets blurry after that.

Yup, should be games you spent the most time on.

For me those are FF7, Diablo II, WOW, and Morrowind. Plenty of games are "better than those", but I put so many goddamn hours into those games it is sickening to look back on it.

Everquest
Bard's Tale 2
Ultima 4
Xenogears
Galaga
MK2

Can't really narrow it down since they don't really have a lot of overlap with various genres and eras.

Pretty easy for me.

1. X-com UFO Defense
2. Ultima anything
3. Everquest
4. Unreal Tournament and mods.
5. Battlefield 1942 and first couple of sequels

Honorable mention to all the supernintendo games before i owned a good pc.
Also Wolfenstien Enemy Territory, holy crap i forgot how much i played that game. And it was free for christs sake!
I could include a few console games, but they never sucked up my time like PC games.
