Sega CD: Sonic CD. The music!

N64: Super Mario 64. Now that's a true real-time 3D, fast loading & smoothed textured!

PC: Quake. Fully 3D first person shooter blew my mind, then 3dfx Voodoo came to support.... 60 frame motherfu--king per second plus smoothed textured!

GCN: Super Mario Sunshine & Wind Waker: IMPROVEMENT OF 3D & VIVID COLOR!!!

PC(yes again): Half-life 2 & Doom 3. PHYSIC & SHADERS!!!

Mario 64 had the biggest impact on me. There were others but nothing on the same level.

Not only was it the first Mario in 3d but it turned out to be a truly exceptional game that's arguably has never been bettered... by anything built by mankind.
