1- Freelancer : I like this because the universe is huge, you can do whatever you want, and space shooters are always cool! Of course the single player campaign could have been a lot better, but still it shines in MP. Can't wait for an expansion pack...
2- Landstalker : One of the best games the Sega Genesis has to offer. Imagine playing Zelda III but with the Diablo viewing angle (there's a name for that, but I don't remember). You're an elf called Nigel, and you are a treasure hunter. You can upgrade your sword, armor, boots and rings, you'll fight lots of tough monsters and will have to solve riddles, and some of them are a real pain! Sometimes the game gets frustrating, it's tough, but it's really a great game, for RPG fans anyway.
3- Unreal Tournament : I like it because of the mods, however they are harder to find now, because now all sites cover UT2003 instead. Still, there are lots of fun mods to play! Some even turn the FPS into a flight sim - showing how the UT engine is powerful and flexible. There are mods for everybody, ranging from realistic combat to uber weapons of destruction. You can also download maps, which also adds to the already great replayability.
4- Star Trek Elite Force : You are on USS Voyager, and you are part of the Hazard Team - when there's trouble ahead, you're the first to go. You will fight against humans, Klingons, Borg drones, and aliens. USS Voyager goes through a wormhole and ends in a "space junkyard" along with other derelict ships. The ship has no energy, no sensors, you don't know where you are, and you have to leave. You will fight to find what drains all your energy, but the other species won't be too happy. Great game based on Quake III engine, lots of attention to detail and a total immersion in the Star Trek universe.
5- Star Trek Armada II : Like Starcraft, but in 3D and in space. You must harvest dilithium from moons, and mine iron from planets, which you must also colonize (you need people for ship crew and officers). The campaign is great, but nothing is better than playing with some friends - and assimilating them :D
6- MegaMan series
7- SimCity series
8- Mordor II : great RPG! haven't even got through the shareware version yet...
9- Need for Speed series
There are many other games I enjoyed, I just can't mention them all (or were already mentioned, like Fallout and Shining Force).
