Metal Gear Solid is way up there. I also like Chrono Trigger and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

YES! Glad someone else has played these. Incredible.
I would have to say "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time". Anybody else play that endlessly in the arcades and on SNES in the early 90s?
Commander Keen
Indianapolis 500: The Simulation
Duke Nukem
golden eye 64
mario kart 64
tony hawk pro skater 64, never liked the ps controls for it
skate or die NES
god of war 1-3 ps2 and ps3
grand theft auto 3 ps2
ncaa 2002 football ps2...logged so many hours on that the laser burned a hole through the disk and well stopped me from ever playing it again
and way back on my pc i played "x wing"...took so many months and months to beat the death star attack run, then the trench i did first try...prob by far the most satisfying game i ever beat, there was no cheat codes, and some missions lasted 1 hr plus, you die, start all over again
Super Metroid was an absolute mindf*ck. I was obsessed for weeks playing that game and got so frustrated and obsessed that I had to take a break for a couple weeks. I remember beating that game in college and like 10 people were in the room watching me beat it.
Metal Gear Solid is a good mention. That game was insane and lots of fun.
Grand Theft Auto 3 was also lengendary and groundbreaking, but the later ones are more fun to play.
Euro Truck Simulator is surprisingly enjoyable.
And the N64 games are the best multiplayer games ever. They are simple enough that anyone can play, but still intriguing and challenging enough to keep playing for a long time. Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Brothers, all great stuff.
Super Mario 3 on the NES. As far as I know, they stopped making games after that.
No one else played Perfect Dark?
You GoldenEye fans missed out on this one. It's basically GoldenEye on steroids. Way ahead of its time. Unfortunately I think its release may have been too close to the Xbox coming onto the market for it to get the mainstream recognition that it deserved.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Just about everything on the C64 was great however a few come to mind:
Druid:

-Got so good that I lasted for 18 hours straight at a bowling alley on just 1 quarter.
Super Mario Galaxy 2. Perfect video game.

I also played and everything you said is true. It never quite made it out from under the shadow of goldeneye but it was easily the better game. N-bombs and guided missiles lol, brings back memories
Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst, pretty much every Pokémon game, the Golden Sun series
Astrosmash sounds like something I’ll be doing to your wife later. LOL.

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo. I never played games as a kid (way too ADD) but played this with my girls when they were very young. It led to many other PC based games for them, educational and otherwise. They both now work in the gaming industry. one is a writer, the other an artist.
Commadore 64 had a Robin Hood game I liked a lot.
I don't think I loved any of the Atari era games. Most were too simple in design.
Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Super Bowl (1991 version) were great on NES.
I liked the X-Men games and Phantasy Star IV on Genesis.
Then on PC where I played most of my games I remember playing Wolfenstein, X-Wing, Wing Commander, TIE Fighter, Diablo, and Warcraft 2 a ton. A few years later I played Diablo 2, Everquest, Everquest 2, and WoW a lot.
There are surely a lot of console games I've missed out on due to switching to PC almost exclusively.
They still haven't topped Pong. It's the original and best.

That is until you played Snake on a tiny Nokia phone.

Tetris
Perfect Dark on N64
