There's a lot of great stuff here, I'm going to add morrowind but seriously, mod it, I love the game but it's definitely of its time, controls aren't terrible (a bit alien but workable) but the combat didn't age well, all dice rolls so while it looks like you should connect it's all chance. Game itself gives the player a lot of freedom of choice, tons of ways to play it too.

Populous The Beginning
Many many many hours in computers class in grade school was lost to this game. Best game of what I only found out later to be a series.
Pac Man.
Alright lots of recommendations in here, some that are making me question how old I am now since some of these don't strike me as old enough to require a recommendation but I'll just suggest one as a bit of a dark horse.
Tyrian 2000, the classic PC Shmup of a time long gone. Oh and I guess Jazz Jackrabbit cause that soundtrack is funky.

SNES era RPGs like Final Fantasy, Lufia, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Star Ocean, etc. And once you're done, move on to the equally worthy roster of PlayStation 1 era RPGs.
Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers
It is a puzzle game like Myst but the puzzles make more sense, less like rubbing 2 coconuts on everything until they fit, and the world has more life to it.

at the moment im playing warhammer 40k dawn of war - soulstorm. it so good.
Omg that's me in a few months, I was not ready for that
Star Wars: Tie Fighter, X-wing, and X-wing vs. Tie Fighter.
Fatal Frame(s), Silent Hill 1-4, and I agree with the top comment with Katamari. I don't think I've ever frowned playing that game. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog.

For a Gameboy suggestion, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. This is the first game featuring Wario. You can complete the worlds in any order. When you get a game over you lose all the Golden Coins you've obtained which act.as keys to enter the final world. So you still have to reheat the final stage in each world again if you get a game over. One of the worlds is a giant mechanical Mario you get to go through!
I haven't played this, but the next game in the "series" is Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 lmao. But I have played Wario Land II. Wario Land II is interesting because you cannot die in the game. Getting hit makes you lose a few coins and that's it. When a boss hits you you get sent back in the stage a bit. Rather than having power ups, some of the enemies affect you. For example, if a bee stings you then you begin to swell up and float. If you're lit on fire then you catch on fire and can burn certain blocks. These are fun because they're oftentimes the only way to progress.
A lot of Gameboy games were kinda crappy. No offense to them or if you liked them, but these two still really hold up. They look and sound amazing. It's a shame to me that so many people seem to remember and are nostalgic for the first Super Mario Land but haven't played the second which is WAY better.
