Snowball in Hell - Shallow, simple, but damn good!
Actraiser - God sim and platformer, some great bosses, very fun to play.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Best Zelda game yet, you can never stop loving it!
Donkey Kong Country 3 - Brilliant platformer, it only took 5 hours to complete, but you'd play it over and over and over and over again. Excellent
TimeSplitters2 - I never thought this game would be so good! Best game around on GC, Xbox and PS2, nothing can beat it at the moment!
I don't really have any faves, so I'll name my faves for a couple of genres.
Strategy - Gotta be AOE II: Age of Kings
Shoot em up - well for level style shoot em up's, probably Delta Force LW, but for "Shoot anything that moves" style, Quake III probably, or maybe UT, can't decide.
Sport - FIFA 2003 or NHL 2002.
Simulation - Either The Sims, or Flight Simulator (woohoo!)
Educational Purposes - Encarta 2002 Deluxe Edition.... I'm not joking, there's some cool stuff on that.....
A PC title that went quite unrecognised in about 1997/8 It truly is the best game ever.
