With a recent and coming surge of fairly well rated/reviewed video games coming out for the Xbox 360, and of course with the very well done and highly enjoyable GalCiv II by StarDock having come out in the last few weeks, it seems that there's a wealth of riches in the area of video/computer games.
Bethesda Softwork and 2K games' highly praised Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion just came out, and many are raving about it (both for PC and for the Xbox 360), though the required hardware for playing the game on a PC is pretty steep (at least if you want to play it with all of the graphical bells and whistles turned on), but I'm not intending this article to become a "the pc is better for gaming" or "consoles are better for gaming" fan-boy (or -girl) bashing fest.
The point here is for the reader to think through their own history of video gaming, on PCs, in arcades, on video game consoles, handhelds, etc., and then tell everyone what their favorite game(s) is/are. It doesn't have to be a current game (though I'm sure StarDock would love to hear/read that it's GalCiv 2, there's is no real correct answer here).
I can think of a few games along the way that I really enjoyed, some that I might really like to see updates of, or at least have available to play again. Those are the kinds of games I'm talking about. Games that you have very fond memories of, and which you'd love to play again, and again, and again, or at least to get one more great chance to play again.
Have some favorites of your own, toss them out here, and tell us all about them, or at least why you really like that game.

Recently found one of the Atari nostalgia devices and picked it up. I was playing and thinking "Wow, all the memories" when my son walks up to me and said, "Man, they need to learn how to do graphics!" After I stopped laughing (about 30 minutes later) I finally explained to him what was going on ... 
I won 1 time! yay!!
