Absolutely: MARATHON!
Marathon was the second game from Bungie, and it was way ahead of it's time. Everyone remembers the original Doom for PC, but Marathon, which came out at around the same time, had better graphics, better controls, better story, pretty much better everything. It was an incredible experience! Unfortunately, it was a Macintosh-only game in it's original release, which severely limited it's audience. It was definitely what hooked me on video games, though.
Since Marathon, these games have rated my top score (in alphabetical order):
AVP
Assassin's Creed
Bad Mojo
Batman Arkham Asylum
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Crysis
Dark Forces
Dead Space
Deus Ex
Dragon's Lair
Fallout 3
FEAR
Gears of War
Grand Theft Auto
Halo
Half-Life
Mass Effect
Max Payne
Medal of Honor Allied Assault
No One Lives Forever
Oblivion
Portal
Psychonauts
Star Wars Republic Commando
System Shock
The Thing
Thief
Tomb Raider
Undying
Unreal
Vampire the Masquerade

I've got the 20th anniversary Special Edition for the Pc, it's got Dragon's Lair I & II, Space Ace, extra game scenes and a very cool Bonus disc.
All the games are identical to the arcade versions.
You should check it out...

Dragon's Lair seems much harder on my iPhone, as compared to the Arcade version.
Or maybe I'm just getting old and slow.

I am a World of Warcraft junkie myself. I love just about all of the original Nintendo games. In fact I have an emulator on my android os phone. The game I spent the most hours on may just be paperboy.

A couple I forgot, ColecoVision's Defender....
...and yes, Ladybug. :confused
.
I have both of these games....
In fact I have a colecovision and about 85 games :lol
And as everyone knows, Colecovision was far, far more superior than Intellivision... with that stupid gold disc controller thing!
What were they thinking?! :confused
Sure Intellivision may have had better graphics, but what's the point if you can't even play the games?

Atari's Adventure was THE BOMB!! :lol
Space Invaders, Galaxian/Galaga, Dragons Lair, Battle Zone, Tempest, Joust, Q-Bert, Donkey Kong, Robotron. Most were released on Playstation years ago. I still have all of them.
Newer stuff. Love the Medal of Honor series. The original Syphon Filter and Metal Gear.
My all time favorite of the modern era.....Shadows of the Empire. I wish they re-release it on a modern system. We keep our N64 in working order just to play that one every now and again.
