- Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
- EarthSiege 2

- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
- Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I'm counting the trilogy as a single game)
- X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
- Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
- Cities: Skylines
- Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
- Battlefield 1942
No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P

R360
Operation wolf
GTI club
VideoPoker
Coin pushers
Fussball
Bar billiards
Darts
Bowling
Paintball
Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it's a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those.
Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven't actually engaged with a game this hard for decades.
Senua's Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love.
Doom 2016 - What's not to like. It's perfect.
Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay.
HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun.
Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
I know I am short of 10, but I can't think of anything else.
