In no particular order (I really can't rank 'em):

Freespace 2 (still the best combat based space fighter sim, plus a kick 4ss editing package. Really oughta see if it works on a laptop)

Operation Flashpoint (when modded significantly and using the editing software)

Elder Scrolls Morrowind

Neverwinter Nights

Star Wars Battlefront 2

Virtua Tennis 2 - old sega dreamcast game, but damned good.)
Star Wars Republic Commando (finally squad mates with decent AI)

Mediaeval Total War / Kingdom Under Fire: Crusades - depends whether I want some degree of realism, or just to have some LOTR style chop'em up but with some tactics

Brothers in arms: Earned in Blood (like being in Band of Brothers but with smarter soldiers)

Burnout 2 (providing I don't need to drive anywhere shortly after playing it)[/list]

Well I think I'll go with about 5:

Ultima Online- had stolen more hours of life than any other game I can think of.

RainbowSix- first "real" damage game I'd ever played

Sid Meier's Pirates!- the fun factor is sky high

Ace Combat 4- I know it's arcadey but it be fun

Ace Combat 5- Just improves on the quatro

Just my .02

I don't have a paticular order for my list, but I will list a few I've had lots of fun with.

World of Warcraft: Great game that you can get very absorbed into. Hard to pay the online fee to play though.

Super Smash Bros. Melee: Have been playing this one with my friends for quite awhile now. Very fun multiplayer game.

Halo series: This has been quite fun for my and my friends as well. Good oneplayer campaign and fun to have halo parties and play online.

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Very good game. Wonderful graphics and some good gameplay. A big step up from the first Battlefront, good for more than just Star Wars fans. Highly recommend.

Ratchet and Clank series: Very good series right here. The graphics are very good and a little bit cartoony. Don't be fooled by the graphics or the whacky storyline, these games are great. Awesome futuristice weapons (i.e. Hydrogen bomb launcher, Black hole generator). Good game with a good replay value (can replay to get higher versions of the weapons). I highly recommend these.

Burnout series: Very good series here too. I've mainly played Burnout: Takedown. For more than just the destructive type. You can race and reek havoc. Good graphics (a little over the top at times) and an awesome soundtrack. Highly recommend trying one of the titles.

The Zelda series: Fun games, even after all these years. Not something I would recommend highly seeing all the different games that are similar to this now. But, if you're a big Nintendo fan, these are some very good games for their time.

Xmen Legends: Rise of Apocolypse: This game I haven't played for a year, but is still very good. I would recommend renting, not buying. Its a great game to rent with your friends and work your way through the story. It is pretty quick to beat though, but it does have a replay mode. The maximum character level is 99, I got my guys to 44 after the first time through, and they are at 53 now at about 85% through the second time. It got boring for me going through the second time, so maybe just a game to mess with on a weekend. Big step up from the first game and good for Xmen fans.

Mario Kart, Mario, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, etc.: All the Mario games I have tried for N64, Gamecube have been pretty good. Mainly party games and they have all been very fun. Mario Kart and Supersmash Bros. have been my favorite, with Mario 64 being a fun storymode game. Still a fun one to mess around with today, and a very good game for its time. I personally recommend all these games.

James Bond:Goldeneye: Need I say more? One of the best first-person shooters ever in my opinion and a must buy if you own an N64. Still a great game to play today, I highly recommend it. I have not tried the storymode very much, but I have played the multiplayer mode for years. Good party game.

Unreal Tournament Series: I have played these quite a bit at friend's houses for a good amount of time now (since the first one was released). Very good first person shooter (especially for PC). I highly recommend this to have if you are more of a PC user than a platform user. One of the better games that I have ever played.

WWE Raw vs. Smackdown: I think thats the title of the new one. I have played this a lot recently and it is very good (tried this one at a friend's house). Awesome story mode and very fun to play with friends in the multiplayer modes. I highly recommend it.

Favorite types of games:
>First person shooters
>RPGs
>Strategy shooters (or realtime strategy)
>Action/Adventure
>Fighters

Thats my list for now, might add later (remember no paticular order).

Arr!

Other than Pirates, the only PC game I played a lot was Tetris. I also played most of the way through the original Diablo on a friend's PC.

When I was a grad student in pre-PC days, I played the dungeon-crawling fantasy game Avatar, a precursor of today's MMORPGs, on the Plato system, an early precursor of the internet.

I spent a LOT of time playing Age of Empires II and all it's add-ons, then the Age of Mythology and it's add-ons. Finally came Age of Empires III with it's expansion packs. Those games kept me busy for many years.

I forgot to mention "Flying Corps" an exquisite WW I flight simulator. Unfortunately it is so old that it does not run any longer on a 64 BIT machine. I am desperately looking for some adequate game that equals this classic!
