RPGCodex list of most enjoyable games

[Pelvis Knot]

After voting for best games by genre, I became interested in what games you played were the most fun/enjoyable for you, not what you think are objectively the best games. So here is your chance to indulge my curiosity!

RULES

1) Vote for 7 games AT MOST

2) ORDER MATTERS - the first on the list gets 7 points, second 6 etc.
If you list only 3 games they get 7, 6, and 5 points respectively

3) No game series - every game gets it's own spot on your list.
For example, you can post ME 2 in the first place and ME in the second.

4) You can explain why the game is on the list if you want

 

[Pelvis Knot]

My list:

1) Pro Evolution Soccer 6 //lost a year of college on this

2) Heroes of Might and Magic 3 //hundreds(thousands?) of hours casting Haste/Slow

3) Championship Manager 00/01 //leading Hajduk Split to 5 times CL winner in a row

4) Baldur's Gate //oh the atmosphere, oh those empty maps when it starts raining...

5) Fallout //again atmosphere, plus the sound of a critical with a burst weapon

6) Freespace 2 //simply fantastic

7) Lotus 3 //splitscreen of course - *almost* lost a year

Didn't make the cut, although they could've easily: SMAC, Civ, Fallout 2, Golden Axe, Planescape, Mount&Blade Warband, Thief 3 and Micromachines, Scorch, Worms Armageddon

The most fun ever? oooh this is hard
I will exclude the too recent titles, if you don't mind.

1. Threads of Fate (Mint's route, of course)
2. Celtic Tales (replaying this now, it's sooo good)
3. Civ I
4. X-COM
5. Monkey Island 2
6. Shin Megami Tensei I
7. Fallout 2

Sheesh, too many haven't made it (like Full Throttle, Battle City, King's Quest, Syndicate, Scorched Earth, or any of them dungeon crawls apart from SMT), but meh, whatever. Among the recent ones, I would've included Dark Spire, ME2, Etrian Odyssey 3, Mask of the Betrayer, and Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. And maybe ToME4.

I don't mind, you are free to list any game regardless of age or race
(yeah, even Xbox is welcome)

 

[Xor]

Smash Bros Melee
Star Fox 64
Fallout 2
Diablo II
Seiken Densetsu 3
Zelda Link to the Past
Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Honorable mentions:
Viewtiful Joe, which I would still be playing if I hadn't lost the disk.
Warcraft III, for the hundreds of custom maps I've played over the years.
Harvest Moon 64, a game which I honestly should hate but can't stop playing.
Zelda II, Link's Awakening, and Ocarina of Time, which I love almost as much as LttP.

2. Morrowind
3. Thief
4. Wizardry 8

2. Morrowind
3. Thief
4. Wizardry 8
