Probably Perfect Dark. I think that's still the game I poured the most hours into ever. I got every cheat, every mission on perfect agent, every challenge. I hit my gamer prime at 14, and it's been all downhill since 
On the PS1, a mixture of Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Crash Team Racing, Crash Bash, Spyro 1-3 and Tekken 1-3.
Though on the PC, it would have to go to Age of Empires and The Sims.

LoZ: Ocarina of Time
Not only was it the first non-platformer/shooter that I ever played, I also got it at a pivotal moment in my life. As such, Zelda will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Even since Ocarina, every one of the home-console Zeldas has come out at a time when something big or significant was happening in my life. For instance Skyward Sword came out just as I've moved from living at home going nowhere with my career, to living independently and moving up in terms of jobs; each game marks an important time in my life.

Definitely Star wars : Jedi power battles, lots of good memories with my brother from that game
Call of Duty 1/ Battlefield 1942/ Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
I played the absolute shit out of all 3 of those, so I can't really pick between them. Sort of ironic considering how I despise every CoD game after World at War (4 is still my favorite game of all time), and Medal of Honor has dropped off the face of the Earth. I still love Battlefield though.

Sonic 2 without a doubt. It was my first ever game. I was 5 or 6 and I constantly replayed it. I was given a Megadrive and SNES and few games for each from friends of the family, and thats what started off my love for games that continues to burn to this day, across consoles and PC's.
It doesn't matter what medium you play games through, all that matters are the games themselves.

Seriously, there's nothing more sublime in gaming than the SNES. Chrono Trigger is my personal favourite, but the whole system is simply amazing, with an untouchable library. Never before or after has a system had a library of such impeccable games.
CRASH. BANDICOOT. Oh God, the memories. I'm thinking of going back to them (mostly 2) after watching some gameplay footage on youtube recently. I'd say the runners-up would have to be Spyro the Dragon, Ocarina of Time, Croc, or Ape Escape.
DOOM, Commander Keen, F/A-18 Hornet and Myst/Riven. Those were the 90's I grew up in. My love of FPS comes from DOOM, classic games and platformers from Commander Keen, beautiful aesthetics from Myst. My BF3 jet skills from F/A-18 Hornet. I owe all my love for gaming to these games.
I got two games that I remember very fondly.
Spyro: Year of the Dragon and Empire Earth
Best part is I can still have a bunch of fun playing them

I really couldn't say. Might've been Frogger (1997). Might've been Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: Action Game. Might've been Break-Out, Pac-Man: Adventures in Time, Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, Toy Story 2: Action Game or Roller Coaster Tycoon. I'm very varied. I can't sum up something this vast for me into one entity. It's just too complicated to be done that simply.
