All of these entries go to show me one thing:
You are all just a bunch of young kids.
Top five from the pushing-30 guru, from a purely fun-to-play standpoint (all the "really changed the industry" pretense aside):
1. Major havoc (arcade)
2. Gravitar (arcade)
3. Spy Hunter (arcade)
4. Operation Flashpoint 1985: Cold War Crisis (PC)
5. X-Com: UFO Defense (PC)
I could go on for pages; it's tough to just pick 5... but those are the first to jump to mind.

Also, there was a game on Atari where you were this guy and you'd go to different planets; you weren't a spaceman with a helmet or anything, just this dark skinned guy.
