Jumpman Jr. - Colecovision
I became a zombie to this game.
screenshot
The Heist - Colecovision
Dorkiest jump animation, ever. But addictive.
     
    screenshot
Sonic the Hedgehog - Genesis
I almost thought this was better than Mario, but then Sega got all stupid with the sequels.
  screenshot
Out of this World - SNES
New ground here with a realistic style of animation and color palette.

Maelstrom - Mac OS 9
I seldom play games on a computer, but this one from Ambrosia software was a staple on my pre-OSX Mac. I have never been this addicted to getting a higher score.

Alladin - Genesis
A license done right. Almost Disney quality animation. Good platformer.
       
    screenshot
Marble Madness - NES
Only noted cause it was weird and good like that.
  screenshot
Ninja Gaiden - NES
Back when it was simple. I could've included the Mutant Turtles I suppose.
       
    screenshot
Castle of Illusion - Genesis
More great Disney animation brought through to make a great home game.
  screenshot
Moonwalker - Genesis
How embarassing, but yeah, I was generally excited about this game, played it and made the kids scream "Michael!"
       
    screenshot
Altered Beast - Genesis
Rise from your grave!
  screenshot
Invaders from Hyperspace - Odyssey2
Old school two player space combat.
       
    screenshot
UFO! - Odyssey2
Asteroids plus
  screenshot
Helicopter - Odyssey2
Choplifter before Choplifter. I'd rescue these blockheads for hours on end.
       
    screenshot
KC Munchkin - Odyssey2
It's not Pac Man! Tell it to the courts.
  screenshot
Out of This World - Odyssey2
Simple gravity button pushin game. Dock your craft with the thing on top. Watch your fuel. Simple. Good.
       
    screenshot
Alien Invaders Plus - Odyssey2
The Odyssey's controller was so much better than Atari's.
   
       
   

I should've called this area retro, but anyway. The other categories...
