Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you’ve played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.

I think that it’d have to be something with a lot of replayability, which doesn’t lose value to me after one playthrough.
Also, it can’t be a genre where the game was limited by technology. I mean, I remember Wolfenstein 3D being amazing when it came out relative to other games of the time – walking around in a 3D world was so mind-blowing – but the novelty of that technology has long-since worn off, and there are many more-impressive 3D games today.
I guess roguelikes are probably about the top of the heap there, and my favorite is probably Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. I still regularly play that, which seems to me to be a good test of whether it’s still at the top of my list.
