Games I used to play

Great
Windows: Space Quest, Alone in the dark,
Apple II: Nueromancer, Sneakers, Autoduel, Archon
NES: Contra, Super Mario,
Other: Breakout, Push push

Games that I was obsessed with and but in retrospect don't seem so great.
Windows: Castle Wolfenstein 3-d, Doom, Ultima, Lode Runner, Kings Quest, Leisuresuit Larry,
Apple II: Bard's tale, Zork, Snake, 2400 A.d.,
NES: Zelda, Sea and skate

Didn't get along with but tried
Windows: American Mcgee's Alice, Hexen, Included Windows games, Sim city, Myst, mechwarrior (?)
Apple II: Strip poker, Pac man, Tetris, Carmen Sandiego,
NES: Miracle software, Duck Hunt, Top Gun, Mike Tyson's punchout,

Simple and fun
Boulder dash, Impossible Mission, Burger Time, Turbo outrun, Double Dragon, Castlevania, Rampage, 1942, Mario, Galaga

Hard to recall, but did spend quite a bit of time with:
Spy vs. spy, Manhunter, Joust, Original Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Beyond zork, Black Cauldron, Choplifter, Below the Root, Ghostbusters, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Karateka, Leather Goddesses of Phobos, Shanghai, a Mind Forever Voyaging, Elite, Dig Dug, Kid icarus, Metroid, Metal Gear

To be categorized when I remember the names
Windows: , cool cartoonish where you are a knight,
Apple II: Surgery game, , car game where you would go up on the truck, a spy game (not spy hunter),
NES:
Other: arcade car game where you could get rocket launcher

I'm finding these hard to remember and difficult to categorize but this has made me remember the incredible amount of time I wasted on them. I'm also fuzzy on what system they were on. I was considering getting one of the new generation of consoles but this has convinced me not to.

Gamespot was helpful in providing names for NES and Apple II but had no pictures. There is also a list for the PC but it was too long to go through. Pictures are on various sites.
