You are not alone, sir! Glad to see so much support for you on this forum, especially from those of us that have been in similar situations. Swap out Tecmo Super NBA for Tecmo Super Bowl, and the bedroom for a basement, and we have virtually the same story. Ah, the "good" old days :-/
As far as my list goes, I'm going to do what others have mentioned, and do a list of favorites. In some cases, "favorite" game and "best" game are the same. As time's gone on, though, I've come to spend the most time playing games that, while they may not be the best, are just plain fun. In my mind, those kind of games are the best games. My list will reflect that.
Now let me see...
Atari 2600 - The Empire Strikes Back
NES - Tecmo Super Bowl
Genesis / Mega Drive - Road Rash
SNES - U.N. Squadron
Saturn - Panzer Dragoon Saga (not to be "that guy," but the game really is "that good")
PlayStation - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Nintendo 64 - Wave Race 64
Dreamcast - Phantasy Star Online ver.2
PlayStation 2 - Silent Hill 2
Gamecube - F-Zero GX
Xbox - Soul Calibur II
Xbox 360 - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
PlayStation 3 - Guilty Gear Xrd
Wii - No More Heroes
Switch - Splatoon 2
Game Boy - Tetris
Virtual Boy - TeleroBoxer
Game Boy Color - Shadowgate Classic
Game Boy Advance - Metroid Zero Mission
DS - Elite Beat Agents
3DS - Super Street Fighter IV
PSP - Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles
Apple II - The Oregon Trail (and it's not even close!)
PC - Riven The Sequel To Myst
