Kingdom Hearts was definitely my favorite game as a child, but I also played the ->-bleeped-<- out of Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, etc.

I have a soft spot for Super Mario RPG

Hours and hours of my youth were spent playing Sim City on the SNES as well as the old 486 machines in the computer lab.

I also remember enjoying the Space Quest series (1-3) and Quest for Glory 1&2.

If we want to really go back, my first actual computer game was a WWII flight simulator - Ace of Aces. It cost my parents $65 dollars in 80's money, it was on a 5 1/4" floppy and I had to learn how to use a boot disk and run it on MS-DOS shell. Not bad for a 6 year old.

Games which are sweet memories because of story line?  Baldur's Gate I, II. Planescape: Torment. Before that... Eye of Beholder 1,2,3 but there was no story line (where there kind was - just kill all monsters, then kill the biggest monster and get out alive).
Doom II (hours on LAN deathmatch)

So hard to choose. For me, it was probably Fallout 2 on PC. Still the best RPG I've ever played, and I'm a sucker for post-apocalypse. I've probably bought that game three different times in my life. Highly recommended!

Also I need to mention Pokemon Red. I still remember that flu-ridden Christmas Eve when I unwrapped it beneath my grandma's 15-foot Christmas Tree. Oh the happy, happy memories.

Baldur's Gate 2 on PC. (still my favorite game ever)
Golden Sun on GBA
The Smurfs on Game Gear ( )

But definitely Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale 2... Still today. Above most of the recent games.

I remember the christmas I got BG2. I read the manual a few times, 300 pages, as if it was a real book. Best day of my life. Even the manual and the game guide were awesome. :')

For me it's Metal Gear Solid 1 back on the PS1 which also holds a spot as my favorite game ever. It also kicked off a long standing love for the series.

the tech in the game or the game?..I'm not sure I understand what you mean

It's a quote from the original MGS in the expository bit at the start of the mission when they're explaining the CODEC and such.
Something that was, presumably, hard to translate from japanese.
My friends and I used to quote it when talking about mundane things like blenders

Sigh....

Nevermind

Should have gone with:

Snake? SNAKE?! SNAAAAAAAAAKE!

Pac-Man World 2 on the original Xbox.
It's this weird platformer from the 2000's that no one seems to remember except for my brother and me, but we played the h*ll out of it. Our Xbox bit the dust when we were still really young though and weve never been able to find it in any stores since then    (((((

Zelda a link to the past presented a huge swing in my wants from a game. Before then ninja gaiden and the mario games were great. After playing Zelda my wants in games drastically changed. must have a graet story with loads of things to do(I get bored quick). So rpgs take the cake.

Don't Break The Ice
Life
Monopoly
Chutes And Ladders
Checkers
And, I don't know if it's considered a game or toy, but, Rock'em Sock'em Robots

If talking about nostalgia, the paper dolls mother drew for us are the first that come to mind. I guess we were quite poor, although I didn't know it then.
Othello, Pretend, Tigers, and Doubt...
I also loved making up stories with my mother on walks with her and my sisters through the woods, and with my uncle while rowing through the archipelago near my grandparents' house.

From childhood? Hmm.... that would have been lots of different Atari 2600 games. Yar's Revenge and Warlords stand out to me. Oh, and Pitfall (1 & 2). Oh, I also used to love my Vectrex. Wish I still had it...

Lol, I had that, too!

Very surprised no-one has mentioned this:

Sonic the Hedgehog

No, not that monstrosity from 2006, the original 1,2,3 & Knuckles. I got my Mega Drive (Genesis for Americans) and Sonic 2 and played it to death. I eventually completed it, which was quite an achievement for a 6 year old. Even adults today struggle with the final zone of that game. To this day hearing the music for the game gives me nostalchills. Then they made Sonic 3.

Holy moley, it took everything great from Sonic 2 and made it better. Expanded shields, multiple special and bonus stages, mini-bosses and a story that featured mini-cutscenes. And then Sonic & Knuckles...

It just picked up where Sonic 3 left off, added Knuckles as a playable character with his own story. New routes were opened in the original zones and the final bosses featuring Super Sonic. I still consider it the best boss battle in video game history.

here goes, from zx spectrum and comodore 64

Jet set willy,  bubble bobble, comando, Elite, maniac mansion, The last ninja, Defender of the crown, Gauntlet, Bomb jack, 1942, crazy kong, frogger, donkey kong.

to name a few.
