Granted "kid" means different things here because we have elder posters and young-in's and the like.
Anyway, I was born in 1980. And this was my favorite game as a kid:
Tink Tonk in the Land of the Buddy Bots!
The link has a ton of information. Really fun game, though. Oh yes, it was a Mercer Mayer game, who was a big name in children's books/art back then. He did all those books like There's a Nightmare in My Closet and I'm So Mad and Just Grandma and Me.
I loved those books.
And I loved Tink Tonk in the Land of the Buddy Bots.
So what about you?
Also, does anyone else remember the above game? It had a map and everything:

Quite the adventure game.
But I annoyed the oldest with a song I would continuously sing while waiting for the glove to charge:
"Oh I wanna do the haaaadookennnn~
YES SIR!
YES SIR!"
Repeated ad infintum.

I have no idea where to find even a picture of it, but it was basically a roguelike with decent black-and-white graphics. My dad and I played it a ton while listening to The Who.

Born in 1986, played from the release onwards. This was the game when I was a kid. I had the SNES version at home, and during summers I was in this YMCA program type deal. Three times a week they went to the roller skating rink in town.
But fuck roller skating, they had fucking Mortal Kombat II! All my money was spent there. In addition, they also had X-Men, The Simpsons, TMNT and Super Street Fighter II.
Also the Dizzy games.
this sounds like my childhood as well

God yes. There were like six months there where I'd play this game for hours and hours every day. I never got very good, but I still love it.
SNES + MKII = Popular guy, back in the day.
coop with friends/brother = so much fucking win.
my favorite christmas ever is when my dad somehow found a new copy after I had been searching for months and months at every store in town.

or
We made stupid shit up, too. Stuff like Mega Moon. He was Mega Man's brother, see. Three guesses on which power he possessed.
Anyway, doing favorites is always a pain in the ass for me since there are so many games I just love and there are so many different variables to take into account...but possibly the one the stands out the most for me is Mega Man Legends. 95% of people seem to hate it or write it off, but it just has so much wonderful flavor and character, and the whole Ruins aspect just has this awesome grand mystery thing going for it, and there were just so many things that just clicked together in just the right way that turned it into this lovely multi-million-dollar diamond in the rough.
:Swoonful sigh:
I had a bunch of other good NES games but this one stands out above them all for me.
Super Mario World
Super Mario Bros.
Doom
Doom II (got it as a Christmas present)
and here's one that some of you may not have heard of

When I got a Genesis my favorites were Desert Strike, Madden, Mutant League Hockey, and the Sonic games. Again, there were lots more...
However, I spent most of my time on the computer after that. Wolf3d, Doom, all the Janes-EA-Skunworks flight sims, Blake Stone, Duke 3D, Dino Tycoon, Aces Over Europe, Gunship 2000, X-Wing/TIE Fighter.... and on and on and on.
I told you I was terrible at picking favorites.
Hail the heroes of the revolution! My brother and I beat this game so god damn many times. Actually it's still one of my favorite games ever. IMO the greatest co-op experience of our time.
This game ruled my life as a kid.
The music will forever be etched into my mind, and I now have the hankering to bust out my Game Gear and give it a whirl.
NES - Super Mario Bros 3, or maybe Star Tropics 2, or maybe The Legend of Zelda
Genesis - Phantasy Star 4 (this is actually a superior RPG even to today's)
SNES - Super Metroid
If middleschool years counts as being a KID kid, I guess my favorite Playstation title would be Bushido Blade 2.
Edit - Oh I forgot about the PC. The Dig / Full Throttle (I can't pick just one).
