Let the list continue!
Cabal!
This shooting game was addictive as heck (The Arcade/Atari ST/Amiga versions only! the other ports were bad, if you ask me)!
No comments for this one is needed.
Contra 3: The Alien Wars in the US (Contra Spirits in JP and Probotector 3 (...) in the EU)
One of the best game EVER!

Activision's H.E.R.O for C64
It was the first ever game I played on a computer, as it was the first game on a "compilation tape" I got from my cousin for my brand new C64.
Airwolf, C64
Pit Stop, C64 - when we played this it was pretty much the only time my older brother wasnn't bullying me.
Sensible Soccer (C64?) - same as above, except I sucked and still suck in soccer games.
So it's the C64 I have the fondest memories. When I think of those games, it really puts me in a nostalgic mood and I can really remember how it smelled, it's a smell of C64 plastics and old 14" portable TV "burning electrics" smell

And did you have problems with the "power pack"? I got through 3 of those suckers.
Where's the love for Nebulous? I can't find anyone who liked it!
I've gone all misty eyed now. I won't mention Druid, Sentinel, Space Harrier (MUCH better than the Speccie version) and who can forget Elite. Commando? Spin Dizzy? Trailblazer?This could go on for a while...
Though there's plenty of notable games, the few I feel should appear on pedestals would be
R-Type on the Sega Master System : The best version of them all. 16 bit graphics were over-the-top, and no other system got the right balance of gameplay, difficulty, plus some excellent sound for the system. Later versions didn't improve on the original.

Dungeon Master : Genre defining game.

Populous 2 : Probably Molyneux's strongest creation
And for Fun, 4 player Hired Guns was fantastic. We would play together until someone died, and then fight amongst ourselves to one man standing before reloading. Only on the reload, several vendettas resulted in half an hour of infighting before we carried on with the game proper. Add to that moments like accidentally killing friends with a banana, and custom graphics for our own characters...great, great fun.
I will also mention Driver on PlayStation. It was the best game I think I've ever known where friends could sit around watching and take turns and cheer each other on and complain at their mistakes.
