My Favorite Games Ever
A thread on Otakubooty was asking what your favorite 10 games were, with 3 honorable mentions. You don’t really ask game designers what their favorite games are, just like you don’t ask film school kids what their favorite moves are. But if I had to start with some, I’d start with these.
Herzog Zwei
Shadowrun for the Genesis
Fallout
Bioforge
River City Ransom
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield 2142
Xenophobe
Half Life
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Bloody Roar
Portal
X-Com: UFO Defense
Mario Paint
SSX Tricky
Actraiser
Fantasy Zone
X-Wing
Dune 2
Command and Conquer
Sim City for Super Nintendo
Edit: MASTERS OF MAGIC!
Edit: Duke Nukem 3D
I’ll be adding to this as I can remember them, as well as possibly elaborating on why.

ooh, maybe it was the less than sign in my comment.. let’s try this again:
How about KROZ? Monster Bash? (Or any of the old Apogee games)
Master Of Orion (1 and 2)
Quest for Glory (Hero’s Quest) series? (incidentally, a remake of QFG2 has been underway for years and is finally in beta testing! http://www.agdinteractive.com/QFG2.php )
Willy Beamis
Zelda (any of them!)
Kid Icarus (NES)
Archon I & II (C64)
The rest of your list is awesome - there are only a couple on there I don’t recognize.
