Fun Idea, my score so far: 

98 QUAKE 2
96 Wave Race 64
95 Bionic commando
94 Nights (played on a friends saturn.  Made me wish I had one)
86 Perfect Dark (Only played multiplayer).
81 Space invaders (played in one of those awesome pizza hut arcades).
79 Secret of mana (I love this game)
78 The Legend of Zelda (one of my all time favorites.  My favorite Zelda game by a significant margin)
77 Star Fox (Where, oh where, have all the rail shooters and shmups gone?)
76 FFVII (My favorite FF).
75 Golden Eye
67 MM2 (Mega Man has hair!).

I can't wait for Wii Okami.  Then my shame will be lifted!

A la Snesboy here is my list of must plays

Super Metroid
Super Smash Bros Melee
Soul Calibur (I or II)
Super Mario 64
Final Fantasy (VI, VII, or X)
Street Fighter II (an anthology version preferably) or Street Fighter III: Third strike
Halo (any)
Starcraft
Zelda: ALttP
Kingdom Hearts

I think Super Metroid's incredible system continually expanding power-up based exploration (and the ability to skip these many of these power-ups through advanced techniques) greatly eclipses its toned down replication by the Prime series so much that it deserves to be a must play instead of them.  

The FF series integrates great story into good gameplay.  Take your pick.  

Smash Bros Melee can be played just as awesomely as a high-paced competitive fighting game as it can as a chaotic party game as it can as competitive team game as it can as ... however the heck you want to play it.

The others are pretty standard picks and the other fighting games are obviously because I'm a fighting game fan. 

Street Fighter III:Third Strike is a masterpiece of the 2-D fighting Genre, Street Fighter II made the 2-D fighting game genre awesome.

@NintendoTopegi: if you're going to rip Snesboy's post so badly at least explain which of the two games you do think are must play's.
Obviously everyone is going to have their opinions and they'll vary widely.  You think SMG's difficult sections are a weakness, whereas I find them to be the best part of the game and the rest too easy.
