On that list, I played Mario Bros as a kid (mainly the original through to Super Mario World), and the first three Dragon Quest (aka Dragon Warrior) games. To a lesser extent the first three Zelda games, and the original couple of versions of Street Fighter 2, before all the constant re-releasing got ridiculous (and before Mortal Kombat sort of took over as the huge fighting game).

I wouldn't say I played them "a lot", though. I'd never really have described any of them as my "favorite" even at the time.

Final Fantasy is definitely a series I played the shit out of when I was younger, though. And which has been pretty much dead to me since XII.

From older times (mainly in my 20s to mid-30s) Halo was a huge part of my gaming life (I played every game in the franchise, read all of the novels, etc), but that's pretty much been dead to me since Halo 4. And you could probably throw the entirety of Bioware as a company into that same time period - it basically went from being my favorite developer ever to becoming a company I wish would just die already.
