Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country
Never finished both of them myself when I was little...I saw dad play through them.....I did complete them later on.
but I used to play small bits....I still remember dying on such easy bits....and both of those games made me enthusiastic about games.
However the first game that really sucked me in, made me care about a plot however bad it seems now, made me care about the character, made me think about puzzles, had me enjoy its platforming, made me marvel at its music and made me immersed in its world was Tomb Raider 1.
Now years later objectively Tomb Raider 1 just doesn't hold up to say Uncharted 2....but I will always feel Tomb Raider 1 was much more important to me and better even if technically it isn't.
