This is a tough one to narrow down. I will just list a few in no particular order. *edit - Note, as someone said that people are listing Favorite games. This is not a list of my favorite games but a list of games that when I played for the first time I had an overwhelming sense of wonder and joy. The games that stir memories of glee and delight and never before experienced sensations. All these games are magic for that reason.

Wonder Boy III - Sega Master System. This game blew me away with how cool it was and how you had to solve puzzles by changing your shape.
Final Fantasy (original) - NES. This is still one of my all time favorite games and I go back and play at every other year or so.
Super Mario Bros. 3: NES. No explanation needed.
Ascendancy - PC. An all around fantastic strategy game about space exploration and galactic domination.
Mutant League Football - Sega Genesis. It took what was great about the Madden games and threw in comical violence.
Counter Strike 1.5-Source - PC. Still one of the best FPS series out there.
Quake 3 - PC. This was one of my first multiplayer shooters. It was also the first game I joined a clan in. Instagib mod FTW, and trick jumping.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Playstation. Best tactics game I have ever played and still better than any I have tried to date.
All Final Fantasy games 2-7. NES, SNES and Playstation.
Final Fantasy X - PS2. One of my favorite RPGs
Uncharted series - Playstation 3. Nothing need be said.
Skyrim - PC. Best First Person RPG out there I sunk more than 120 hours in this game to complete every single missions available including expansions. I am still wowed at how good this game is.
Battlefield 2 and 4 -PC. 64 players at once + commander. Most realistic bullet physics available in game (aside from Americas Army). Every game is all out chaos.

Quick note of games I forgot. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 4, Tekken series, Altered Beast, and in the Arcade realm, TMNT/Simpsons/X-Men 4 player games and the pinball game Medevil Madness. *edit: someoen just reminded me of Sonic the Hedgehog and SuperMario RPG for the SNES--these are now on the list.


That's my "Short" list.
