Way too many to name really. Started on Atari/NES when I was 3. Getting the SNES as a kid was a very memorable experience. I still go back and play games from that era every so often, and still own quite a library of games across numerous platforms. Those are some off the top of my head that I have very fond memories of from my childhood. This doesn't include more recent games (PS2 and forward) such as FF10/12, Nier Automata, Skyrim, WoW etc etc.
