Oregon Trail! I remember that! I always got bitten by snakes or my wagons would break down...Also, it's EXTREMELY nice to see a FFVIII fan here. :) That one seems to get a lot of trouble out of the Final Fantasy Franchise. It was the one I started with, however, so it has nostalgia value.
Although, I'd say FF8 and FF9 are my favorite all-time games. I identified most with the characters, and while I love the soundtracks to all of Square's work, even to the games I didn't care much for, 8 and 9 are two of my favorite soundtracks period. I've learned as many of the songs as I could on my violin.
Otherwise, I'll play anything. RPGs are my favorite...the FF series, Chrono Cross/Trigger, and Folklore, although it did not get along too well with RPG fans, I thought was excellent. White Knight Chronicles, Resonance of Fate...
I like shooter games, but they're more social for me. I only sit and play them when I'm by myself so that I can get better and keep up with my friends when we play together.
On my own, I lean toward story driven games. Zelda as well...the Fable games, Knights of the Old republic.
I never really got into online computer games, but the new Star Wars game, The Old Republc, looks utterly fantastic and I can't wait to play it. :)
