There are so many to choose from, but I think I would go with Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Knights of the Old Republic, or Pokemon Gold.

Never played a game I could consider perfection, but this one is as close as it gets. Shoddy translation and lego-block character models aside, FFVII continues to blow me away to this day. The cast, the setting, the soundtrack, the materia system - everything about it is iconic and unforgettable. And then there's the sense of adventure about it all (making it to the world map for the first time - wow!), the ambition and scale of the campaign, the mini-games and optional side-quests... it even made random battles and turn-based combat enjoyable! It manages to hit all its emotional beats as well due to my fondness for the characters, my investment in their plight and Uematsu's perfectly evocative score.
Ah to hell with it, it is perfection.
Top ten to fill it out...
2. Broken Sword: The Shadow Of The Templars
3. Ristar
4. Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror
5. Shenmue
6. Final Fantasy VIII
7. Fear Effect
8. Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne
9. Klonoa: Door To Phantomile
10. Power Stone
This duder has good taste.

Challenging..let me get to an answer by listing the games that have left an indelible impression..
Unreal (i.e the first SP game) - the moment when you first get out of the crashed space craft and subsequently evolution of the story changed my expectations of gaming forever and the impact it had on spin offs and game engines
Nier for an amazing JRPG the feelings and the music this game evokes are unique.
Quake 2 for multi-player experiences that I have not been able to quite recapture.
Uncharted 2 for the third person Lara Croft meets Indiana Jones story and graphics
Killzone 2 as the first person shooter for its amazing gritty atmosphere and graphics
Wing Commander III for the first cinematic space game experience.
Darksiders for being lots of things.
Overall winner Unreal.. (probably)

Probably Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Sorry Mario fans, Genesis Sonic is untouchable.

Everyday afterschool, my cousins and me would beat this in about 4 hours I think. We got the unlimited ammo and grenade launcher and DESTROYED enemies. We took out that huge alligator in that sewer in about a few shots. Loved that game.A tie between this

Majora's Mask as a personal favorite, but Ocarina of Time is a better overall game.
Other favorites: Super Metroid/Metroid Prime, TWEWY, Viewtiful Joe, SMB3/World

I think Ninja Gaiden (not the NES one) still ranks as my favorite. I've played it on Xbox, PS3, and on Vita. Also really like Bayonetta.

The higher powers have decreed that we're not allowed to play this in the UK, for some reason. I have a dummy US account, so one day I will buy a PSN card and play this game that I have craved after for years.

Without a shread of doubt.
Finished it 20+ times and still have to do one playthrough at least once every year.

If I had to pick just one, World of WarCraft. I have put more time into that than my other top 10 games combined. It is the eternal game.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night & Demon's Souls.
It's really hard to decide.
I'd go for Pokemon Yellow too, there is a lot of nostalgia in it tho. Ct too ez, Grandia can be the one too.
