There are way too many games for me to choose from, but I can give you something of a list.

1 mega man-all of them. I don't care that they all basically play the same, they're all a ton of fun to play.
2 Final Fantasy, not all of them, but FF 1, IV, V, VI, and 9. 9's soundtrack was phenomenal.
3 Secret of Mana-one of my favorite games to play. Beat it a few times.
4 Seiken Densetsu 3(Secret of Mana 2 it came to America), It deserves it's own spot for me, I beat this game so many times on emulator that when my friend bought it overseas and arrived here I beat it for him on Console through memorization. I wish Squaresoft brought us this game tp America over Secret of Evermore.
5 Xenogears-I remember playing this game the first time, I put over 300 hours in playing this game, i enjoyed it that much. Just an incredible story that made me want to read every last detail, and fighting Deus at the end of that game was a very difficult fight even after you beat 2 of it's orbs of power.
6. Diablo and Diablo 2-Yup, Diablo sucked me in for a long time. It's random dungeons the game always made up as you traveled down hell was pretty crazy to play thorugh. Diablo 2 was so much fun to play with friends that I had a small group of players who would play every weekend for months, and the expansion allowed us to farm Baal all day long and some sweet loot. Baal runs all day, 5 minutes at a time!
7. Joust-This game brings back fond memories of my child hood, and also wondering why I was riding a chicken with a weird thing sticking out of it's neck killing people with it.
8. Streets of Rage-I loved my Genesis, it gave me a ton of Side scroller games to choose from, and this might be one of the most Iconic of it's Genre. A Beat'em up sidescroller with health bars for everybody!
9. keith Courage-no love for other gaming systems other than the mainstream, so I'll toss this one out because i loved this game for the Turbo Graphix 16. This game was pretty entertaining, you would go around villages killing things and saving people and buying stuff, then you would get into a robot and kill more stuff, except the robot was bad ass, and the bosses were super difficult!
10. Bonks Adventure-Another amazing Turbo Graphix 16 game, and I mention this because you get to be a caveman slamming your head on enemies and dinosaurs for points and food!

I should've mentioned metal Slug for the Neo Geo, but I think that list is pretty awesome in of itself.

Xenogears was a mind f*ck, no doubt. The story just blew me away. It's like a Philip K. Dick novel in video game form. No RPG has ever come close in rivaling Xenogear's philosophical, psychological, and metaphysical themes in such a fashion.

And it was almost never released in the states, due to it's anti-religious themes.
