Crash Bandicoot, Psi-ops and the last two Timesplitters got so much love. Tekken also played a nice roll from 12 onward. Oh yeah, and most Star Wars flying games. Rogue Squadron 2/3 was awesome.
EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET POKEMON?! Sadly my Blue cartridge lost it's save battery thing a few years ago...
There four that spring to mind. The first Crash Bandicoot and first Spyro the Dragon games on the PS1 then Sonic the Hedgehog and Bonanza Bros on the Sega.
All four of these games are games I played religiously as a child.
Pokemon made me like Japanese RPGs, Rayman action games, Diablo hack'n'slash, NwN was my first "MMO-esque" game and a Western RPG. There was also Heroes of Might and Magic, Worms and many great games I still like to play sometimes.
Pokemon Red. I was't allowed games of my own, but I'd borrow my childhood best friend's and play it all night at sleepovers after she'd gone to bed.
A little over a year ago, in my first term at university and the first few weeks after permanently moving out of my parents' home, I finally bought the game (and a Gameboy Colour) off ebay. I'd been gaming for a while by that point of course, but it seemed like a suitable, if silly, way of marking my new-found independence
I'm probably too young to answer this, seeing as I'm only 14, but the two games that stick out for me are Portal and Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
Portal I've spent over 66 hours replaying on Steam, and Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask just has the most memories for me. Especially after I read the whole BEN story. *shivers*
For me it would have to be James Bond: Nightfire about 11 years ago, its the game that really got me into gaming...

Or any other James Bond games to be precise. I still think that Everything or Nothing is better than most 3rd person shooters today.
This. It wasn't really that great, and I remember that every time you got a power up a flamboyantly gay sounding voice would proclaim "YEEAAH!!!" (the sound effects were all really weird), but when I think of my childhood, I can't help but hear this song: I can't remember if I ever actually beat it. I remember the final "boss" encounter, but I don't remember if I eve got past him. It was fun though, it was like playing Pac-Man as one of the fruits (i.e. running, desperately trying not to be eaten by the anthropomorphic cheese wheel behind you)
Tony Hawks pro skater 2, every single day me and my mate used to play it after school on my PS1, i miss those times, now i hate his guts and hes in another country and thps games turned to shit.
Not sure I have one in particular that defined it, although I do have four that instantly come to mind: Heart of Darkness, Tomb Raider 3 (both to a lesser extent), Deus Ex, and Thief 2.
I was shit at all of them, but I think the feeling of just missing out on being able to experience DX and Thief 2 properly when they first came out is what has led to my absolute need for developers to start making immersive-sims again.
It does kind of me put at odds with most people who seem to have been fed Nintendo's stuff through a bloody IV drip.
