Quest 64.
We didn't get a game system in our house until one came "free" with the minivan my parents had purchased. It was a Nintendo 64, and it came with Pokemon Snap. My siblings and I enjoyed the heck out of that game, and we begged for more, so after much pleading and bargaining, they gave in and bought us a few games out of the bargain bin. One of them was Quest 64.
It was my very first RPG, and I was smitten. It was like my fantasy books come to life! Before this point, I should mention, I was quite sheltered. MTV and VH1 were forbidden (women were degraded on those channels, according to my mother), they only grudgingly accepted certain cartoons as acceptable viewing, and D&D was a satanic cult, though I don't think I knew of its existence then. Needless to say, I had no standards when it came to video games, and this would become the goalpost of all future games.
I loved the music the best. Even if we were only able to play it for a couple hours at a time (more, if we snuck out, muted the TV, and played when we were supposed to be in bed), I'd still be humming the songs of whatever region I was in at the time. I still have my save file: I have almost all possible elements, all spells, and I've technically beaten the game dozens of times. Mammon was no longer the scary demonic "WHAT'SHAPPENINGOHGOSHI'MDEAD" boss, but a few swings of the PowerStaff lvl 2 and he'd be down for the count. Ironic that melee was so OP in a game that was supposed to feature heavily on magic abilities. I felt utterly betrayed by Shannon. And I didn't realize until later in life that Shannon was actually supposed to be female. I mean, Shannon was a -girl's- name, but the short hair and the Renaissance-style clothing- that clearly of a male- threw us all off. My brother and I would argue constantly about it. If I remember right, we decided that Shannon was an "it" because Shannon was a puppet. Of course, there was "cleavage," but we were too naive to actually notice it. Ah, the pointy square graphics of the "3D" Nintendo 64. Glorious.
Even now, though I've played classics since then that are much more polished, entertaining, and engaging, I still crave to play it. I have, every so often, when I'm at my parents' house. Ah, the nostalgia... and despite everything, I still enjoy it.

I loved those games so much and played them for so many hours. I’ve been thinking about getting the mysims bundle for the switch to re-experience that, but I haven’t had the time to look into how well it plays

I spent hours playing this game. It was so much fun. It got me fully hooked on video games. The graphics have aged very well.

Pokemon for sure by far. Gens 2, 3, 5. I don't really have a desire to go back and play them, but maybe I will one day. I have more interest in rom hacks or fan games because the story would be different but possibly have similar style of graphics. I just feel like I have seen pretty much everything I have seen with the old ones. But if I was to go back and play them, it would be because I don't remember much and it sounds fun at the time or maybe I want to do a particular challenge. This is a possibility of happening.
Another was crash bandicoot warped and Rampage world tour. I don't really have a desire to go back. I finished those.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. First game I ever got, and I got super-good at it. I 100%'d the game multiple times.
That said, I played it on the GBA remake.

Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, and Wii Play. Loved them to death and still enjoy playing them from time to time because they’re nostalgic and fun. My favorite games are tennis, table tennis, bowling, island flyover, and cycling. I love the freedom that island flyover and wii fit cycling give you to explore Wuhu island, and although, I could redraw it in my sleep, I still love it because I’d travel there if I could.
