Lego Stunt Rally. Super simplistic one button racing game with a built-in track editor, talking\reacting heads and basically a fun trailer that, probably, oversells what the game really is: https://youtu.be/50YQLd2y7jM
I don't think I'd play it now, but I greatly enjoyed it back then and now it's interesting to think of it later and understand how various limitations made it's production and gameplay more streamlined and accessible.
Single player RTS games. Mega-lo-mania on the Amiga/Mega Drive was my introduction, and Command & Conquer really got me hooked.
Sadly the genre is a shadow of its former self now, and what’s left is mostly multiplayer focused. I miss the days of good long campaigns with slightly campy FMV cutscenes.

Does this count?
Probably Sonic 1 on the Master System.
One of the first computer games I ever played at my friend’s house, and came bundled with my own Master System for Christmas 1991.
Original Sonic The Hedgehog for the SEGA Megadrive
From when I was a proper little kid maybe the Dizzy games, and a game called CJ in the USA.
From a bit older I get really nostalgic for Ultima Online. That game was great and there’ll never be another experience like that. No separation for PVP, PVE, role players or the like, everyone just crammed in together.

Mostly any games on a Commodore Vic-20 or C64
I do recall having an old TV console, ie Ping pong, etc, but, I wouldn't say that was as nostalgic as the later cassette games... the screaching sounds whilst loading (for minutes)... ahhh...

4 games come to mind immediately (all on PC, win3.11, and at times DOS when they wouldn't work on win), Great memories.
- Star Crusader (1994)
- Age of Empires I (1997)
- Warcraft I (1994)
- Outpost (1994)
I think I have those dates right

The Legend of Zelda on NES
ExciteBike, but we probably played Mario 1, 2 & 3 more.
I have Mario 1 & 3 still working on my old Wii from just after college, also Dr Mario, Sonic 2 and a crappy Tetris clone. I’ve been meaning to get an emulator up and running since my old NES hasn’t been able to boot a game in probably 10 years.
Super Mario World and Aladdin SNES
