Parvateshwar: I remember playing Nintendo games as a little kid and having the best time with Donkey Kong and Mario, I still enjoy them now but they weren't as fun as when I was 6. In terms of modern games I would have to say WoW, HOWEVER it's only fun if you have a lot of real friends with whom to play. If you're playing solo it's like being tossed into amateur hour and having to put up with complete assholes while sinking further and further into addiction. So I will have to go with the Baldur's Gate series as my favourite games that don't involve sacrificing your life and that isn't coated with nostalgia.
I enjoy WoW solo myself which allows me to avoid most of the "complete assholes" you mention. The solo exploring, questing, crafting, AH/money making aspects of the game are fun particularly when you'd like to play an MMO on a sane schedule that allows time for other games and other interests, like having a real life. ;-)

The game I had the most fun with was Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But I wouldn't call it my favorite game of all time, because after beating it 12 years ago, I have never had any desire to ever play it again.
I HAVE been playing Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire for those entire 12 years, though. So I would have to say that it is my favorite game of all time.

I have a bit of a soft spot for the original Command and Conquer too.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2

What a great question! I've been playing PC games since the early '80s, but I've only been "keeping score" of the games I've played since 1998. So I dug through my notes and made a list of all the "perfect 10" games, and then whittled that list down to the 6 games that I would most want to replay over and over. JKDF2 is the only game on the list that I have replayed over and over, but in order of "2nd best" to "6th best" my other top games were...

Project Eden
Rune
Half-Life
The Witcher
System Shock 2

I was tempted to make MIcroprose's Magic the Gathering my top pick. But that game would have to go on a different list... probably What Games Have You Played Every Day Since It Was Released. I played the demo of MtG every day for about a year before the actual game came out, and now I still play a couple duels a day, for the last 17 years! It is a "favorite", but it's not the best game of all time, by a long shot. Anyway...

I've gotten a heck of a lot of replays out of Missionforce: Cyberstorm and Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries; if I had to pick my favorite games of all time, those would probably be the ones I'd choose.

I do also love me Bard's Tale, the Gold Box games, TIE Fighter, and Portal.

it's impossible to name just one perfect game... to many have been played over the years. but it boils down to these few:

System Shock 1: this kept me up a lot of nights....

Mechwarrior 2 and additions: to sit in the cockpit of an gargantuan mech... who wouldn't like that

Doom: of course, you need mindless bloodshed at times ;)

Spiderman 2 (movie tie in)
