I'm going to assume Computer & Video games here.
TBS: Heroes of Might & Magic II & III.
RTS: Myth & Myth II.
Action: Oh, a toughie. Though it's borderline, I'll say Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
First person shooter: Unreal Tournament.
Wargames: None of the ones I've played are good enough to merit a best of ranking.
Adventure: Curse of Monkey Island.
RPG: FFX, I suppose.
Sports, Flight Sims, Driving/racing, Puzzle games: Abstain
Kid games: Threads of Fate, 'cause it's suitable for kids but really for me.
Adult games: Either this means "almost all games" or "porno games that suck." Neither category is good.
