There was another that had you shooting ants but I forgot it's name, lots of fun, and it had a dog with a lazer on its' back.
Jet Force Gemini by Rare. I loved that game until I beat the ferociously hard boss at the end of Lupus' path and found that I now had to backtrack to every level I'd already complete and save all the teaddy bear things. Gah! You had to get all of them in one swoop through the level or you had to go back and do it all again. I gave up after the second level, bored to death and frustrated with the difficutly of collecting them all.



A few titles off my own list, in no order at all:
Shogun: TW. This game is the reason I started to read about Japanese history.

X Wing and TIE Fighter. I hate to think of how many hours I sunk into this pair. Hundred.

Ocarina of Time. I was spell bound from the moment I saw the demo running in a shop.

Mysteries of the Sith. Jedi Knight's add-on pack, and IMO the best FPS/lightsabre Star Wars game ever. It had incredible level design. The final one, set inside a massive Sith temple, was amazing.

Dragon Quest VIII. Probably my favourite JRPG

Planescape: Torment. The best Western style RPG I've played. Such a wonderful plot and set of characters! Alas, never completed it. I've tried it on several different PCs now and it always drops to a sub 1FPS crawl when I get to UnderSigil, meaning it is unplayable. The most telling thing is that I've tried it on several PCs. Generally I don't replay games.

Thief 1 and 2. Proving that graphics don't equal atmosphere.

Privateer 2: The Darkening. Space trading game with an actual plot, and a good one too. I played this one as relentlessly as TIE Fighter and X-wing back in the day.

System Shock 2. Horror isn't my thing, nor are scary (or 'scary' :looks at Resident Evil series:) games. SS2 was. Oh, how it was.

KOTOR. The first game, not the incomplete, bug ridden second game. I completed this one three times. It captured the Star Wars feel better than the prequel films.

Curse of Monkey Island. The first in the series I played, and as such it always has a special place in my heart. The visual style and music were gorgeous.

Luigi's Mansion. One of the first games I got for my Gamecube. It was, simply, fun.
