Yoshi's Island
This is super fun. Amazing level design, tight controls, great graphics, memorable music, loads of stuff to collect. It's just an absolute pleasure to play through (and I do so regularly).

Tomb Raider II
I'm a big fan of the original TR series. I love the controls, the grid based design system, and how methodical everything is. The sense of scale is also incredible. TRII gets the edge over the original as I tend to prefer the level environments in this one, and everything is a little more polished. It's also interesting to challenge yourself when you replay it (eg all kills, no medipacks, pistols only etc)

Super Mario Bros 3
The SNES version is what I grew up with, so that's what I think of when this game is mentioned. This evokes wonderful childhood memories, as it's one of the first games I remember experiencing. It's not coasting on nostalgia though, as it's simply a fantastic game (and I love it for many of the same reasons as Yoshi's Island).
