Gamerjunkie, here. I used to play a lot, but never considered myself a "serious" gamer since I played for plot or fun, rather than competitively. RPGs are my poison of choice, though I play other things from time to time. Uh. List of favourites by gaming platform below? (this is some serious TL;DR)
Console NES: Excitebike, Paperboy, Duck Hunt, Arkista's Ring (♥!) 3DO: Lucienne's Quest (♥!!) PS: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Megaman Legends, Final Fantasy Tactics N64: Paper Mario, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards PS2: Xenosaga trilogy (♥!!), Kingdom Hearts, .hack// (first quartet of games), Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES Multi-console: Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution
Handheld GameBoy: Tetris, Battle Arena Toshinden (♥) DS: The World Ends With You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai) Multi-system: POKEMON
PC Oni (♥!), Mass Effect trilogy (♥!!!), Dragon Age series, Left4Dead series, Team Fortress 2
...think that's it. Might be more, but if there are, I can't think of them at the moment.
