You guys do realize that this is purely subjective to each individual? We all have our favorites that we simply couldn't be without on each console.

just like ack says..if it was top 10 or something..I would give them there for sure..but all these games on that list matter for me much more today, than quake or doom.

EDIT: And even though Doom and Quake were revolutionary, I think that the games on my list can offer much more nowadays.
I've got no signature.

I'm with Ack on this one, this is all subjective.

Even so, I still like seeing everyones "must haves".

Mine would be:
The Orange Box (360 or PC versions)
The Sonic trilogy (Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles)
Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64)
Samurai Shodown (3DO) (the AES and MVS versions are obviously better, but Neo Geo gear is pricey)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Saturn)
Gran Turismo 2 (PS1)
Forza 2 (360)
BLACK (Xbox, PS2)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

I could think of many, MANY more games I really like, but these would definitely be on my "must have" list.
Systems: Atari 2600, Atari Jaguar, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Genesis 3, Genesis 2, 32X, Sega CD (model 2), Saturn (model 1), Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox (Modded), Xbox 360, GameBoy, GBA SP, Game Gear, PSP... always adding more
