How retro? Arcade:
Defender and Galaga were huge favorites, as was Donkey Kong (though I got bored w/ that pretty quickly - I felt like Sisyphus after a couple of hours).
Slightly newer - Dragon's Lair (that was video crack) and Spy Hunter (Peter Gunn!)
As for PC:
Zork, hands-down the most fun, crazy PC game ever (I write this after a weekend of twelve hours of Max Payne 2 at 1600x1200).
The text HHGTTG was *almost* as good as Zork -- funnier, but not as cool in its uniqueness.
Prince of Persia was one of the only platform games I ever liked; well, that and Castlevania (but that might not be retro enough).
I can't wait to read what others put forth ... I'm sure there're a lot of cool games I've forgotten about.
EDIT -- Damn! Joust! I knew I'd be reminded of some cool games.
