What are your favorite games, from old and new systems alike?
Being home, right now my little bro and I are playing a lot of multiplayer games. Particularly fun are Mario Kart (any version), Soul Calibur 2, and Kirby's Air Ride.
Mario Kart, of course, is just your basic zany racing game with a whole bunch of goofy characters and items. I really like the character selection in Double Dash, Toad and Baby Bowser being two of my favorites. A neat addition to the items is a special item for each character that you can only get if one of your team members has that ability.
Soul Calibur 2 provides some much needed stress relief through the bashing of my brother's character. The animation, in my opinion, is pretty nifty. The story is really weak, but it isn't really needed. After all, the point is really to get together with someone and fight them. My fave characters on that one (or the ones I can win with) are Mitsurugi and Talim. When my bro and I are feeling goofy, we play either as Yoshimitsu or Voldo. Voldo is probably one of the most disturbing characters I have ever seen. Each character has a couple of costumes/appearances and tons of weapon choices.
As far as the races go, Kirby's Air Ride is pretty dull. However, the City Trial is a lot of fun, especially with 2-4 people. You drive around the city collecting power-ups and better cars, and then you race/ battle your cars against each other. You can destroy each others' cars in the city, and run over the people searching for new cars (of course it is completely bloodless, Mom ^_^).
Single player games include *deep breath* Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Every single stinkin' Final Fantasy translated, Zelda games, Sonic the Hedgehog games, Mario games, and more. Basically a lot of the classics.
Anyone else?

I don't really like action games -- no reflexes, and with small kids it's a bit hard to actually play them.
Did okay on Age of Empires and StarCraft, though stopped in 1999 -- kid started to be awake.
Hubby and son like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Just started Midtown Madness. Gauntlet Legends was also good for them -- Daddy would develop a really good character solo first, so he'd be able to keep the two of them alive and give Crackers most of the healing.
Daughter Rocket likes Elmo's Alphabet -- drives around and laughs a lot.
Hubby really likes the Zelda stuff -- Ocarina of Time, Mask of Majora, and Windwaker. Played each of them several times. Son likes them, but only in bits. (He's better at rope-swining than I am!) Hubby also liked Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem; you have to play it three times to get to the final ending (choose a different element each time), and he loved the whole thing, especially the mind games. He plays Rainbow Six online every Friday (OneBitCPU) with his coworkers, although they are looking at other games, too. And he did gobbles up all the StarCraft/WarCraft stuff.

The most recent thing I've played is Zoo Tycoon, because once I'd worked out how to win every time it was good for my self esteem
