I have to make some of my five encompass series rather than individual titles. In no particular order...
Chrono Trigger - love this game, and I still hook up the SNES to play through it from time to time. I always looked at it as the story of Magus more than that of Crono.
Zelda Series -I received The Legend of Zelda as a gift for my 7th birthday and never looked back. I had the entire game memorized (still do!) and carried that over as a completionst in all games since. I've played all the console installments plus Link's Awakening on the old Gameboy (which I hold is a moving, beautiful game at the end).
Metroid Series - The exploration of Zelda with an all new setting. I choose to neglect that Other M exists... Babybabybabybaby. Zoid & Co.'s translation of the 2D game into 3D was handled masterfully.
Thief Series - groundbreaking, immersive, and just damned fun. The depiction of chaos vs order drew me in, the second game amazed me with the expansive City, and the third surprised me by bringing the story full circle.
Diablo Series - Needs little in the way of explanation. The community at the DSF and then the Lounge contributed greatly to my years playing these games.
