Morrowind.

Wing Commander 3, with these great Multimedia Video Clips !
Compared to other games, wing commander 3 was HDTV 😀

Or some of the Lucas Arts Adventures: Zak McKraken, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones: Atlantis, Sam & Max.

Doom, Descent, Duke Nukem 3D, X-COM: UFO Defense, Warcraft II, Unreal.

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that come to mind first and foremost for me 😀

I'll go newer: Dark Souls.
Sinked 100s of hours and loved every single second. I miss the online activity from when the game was new and the constant edge the game kept you while you progressed the story.

Ridge Racer Type 4..

My vote also goes for Super Mario World, it was such a wonderful childhood experience, but having played it to death a thousand times over, I know every last inch of this game and when I replay it I feel like a junkie in the futile quest of getting a high as good as the first one. 🙁
Super Mario Bros. 3 is almost up there too, but I believe the inability to replay a level once beaten has inadvertently kept it from wearing out as badly as SMW did for me. Even to this day I keep finding/discovering/noticing new things when I play it which is all kinds of awesome. 😀

Doom and others were also very memorable and an important part of my childhood but they've held up much better. I'd totally get part of my memory erased MIB-style so that I could experience SMW all over again. 😵

Tie Fighter, hands down.

Wolfenstein 3D: The game was so Evil, pointing guns and shooting people gave an unbelievable kick, I was blown away for a long time after discovering it.

Chrono Trigger. Playing it through repeatedly (on the DS) just got downright stale.

I'm kind of reluctant to play The World Ends With You again, just because it was so much fun the first time around and I don't want to spoil the memories.

Vangers! OMG I loved that game, but unfortunately I'm not into playing games all that much anymore. 🙁

World of Warcraft. I was so blown away the first time I played it with my friends.

Monkey Island 1+2

That's a tough one...there are so many great games out there that I would love to experience again for the first time...

...For Console gaming it has to be Phantasy Star II for me.

For PC gaming, it is a close tie between XWing, Leisure Suit Larry I, and Space Quest III.

Star Trek - Starfleet Academy

back in 97 it looked so real

I avoided this game for years because I knew it was a major time waster. I did eventually try it though. The first time playing was amazing. I just wandered around for hours awestruck. Riding that tram for the first time was particularly memorable.

NES: Blaster Master - So many Nintendo games I loved.. but this one blew me away as a kid. Excellent music.... Cool (Odd?) story about a boy and his frog, an armored tank named S.O.P.H.I.A, and HUGE bosses?! I mean, come on!

SNES: Super Castlevania IV - My favorite game series EVER, and seeing this on a 16-bit system... Ohhh man... Those GFX, the sound! What's not to like?!

PC: GL Quake - 3DFX grabbed me by the balls and never let go!

For me, it's the older adventure games with text parser, but graphics. Space I to III, but also games such as Gateway. For some reason, the lack of graphical fidelity allowed for more imagination. As much as I love Monkey Island and Fate of Atlantis, it's these old games that I would enjoy playing again the most.

Brutally difficult, though. Did you ever finish it in your youth?

Commander Keen: Marooned on Mars.

But close behind are:

King's Quest I
Dino Eggs (Apple II)
Spare Change (Apple II)
Captain Comic
Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood (Apple II)
Commander Keen: Secret of the Oracle
