These are all over twitter.
Throwing my slapped together in work list up. You can agree with it but I'd much rather you tell me that I'm full of shite and tell me why. Throw yours up as well if you are brave enough.

Disclaimer: I am not saying some of these are among the greatest games of all time, but for me, the time and enjoyment I got out of most of these games and the impact they had on me, this is probably as close as I can get, though there may be an element of recency bias and just forgetting obvious ones that should be included (plus, I was never a Nintendo kid, so never played most Marios, Zeldas etc or basically most of Retro's list).

There's a few there I wouldn't put on my list but also wouldn't call them bad games.
I'd only really have an issue with Spiderman 2 (the movement is great but the missions are a little poo) and crash 2, there's way better platformers even on the ps1. It also felt like it set out to hurt me when I played it recently.
I see Gunstar Heroes there so all is good.

Gunstar Heroes just seriously blew me away. Remember seeing it on gamesmaster and thinking it was the best looking game ever and thought it was a SNES game. Got a megadrive later and used to read Sega zone. On their last issue one of the reviewers gushed about how good Gunstar was so I tracked it down (was actually quite hard to find) and when I played it I realised that it was that game from gamesmaster. To top it off it was absolutely incredible. It's my all time favourite megadrive game.

This’ll change from moment to moment, and could equally double the size.
Rock Band stands in for that Guitar Hero - Rock Band 3 run for Harmonix which was a massive, delightful time sink for me.
Wind Waker isn’t the best Zelda game, objectively, but the one that reignited my enthusiasm for gaming at a formative moment. Tears of the Kingdom is still new (and BG3 could have a strong shot when I’m done, as could Hi Fi Rush with the benefit of time) but I find its improvements over BotW so substantial it immediately makes the cut.
Mushihimesamana Futari isn’t on the database (the original Mushi is) but it’d be my shmup torchbearer if it was.

This is what I can think of right now.
I might change it a bit later.
The last slot is for Metroid Prime when I decide whether to play the Wii or Switch version. Or maybe Super Metroid. Or Maybe a Link to the Past. All games I should have played by now.

That was surprisingly difficult.
Went with games that genuinely made a huge impression on me or ones that I keep going back to again and again.
Quite interesting to see that everything is more or less 6th gen or before. There were a few 7th gen that almost made it like Fallout 3, Half Life 2 and Deadly Premonition (!) but they just couldn't top anything in the below list for me.
