First off, I guess we'd have to split the question into subcategories, so:

Platform
Action / Adventure
RPG
First Person Shooter
Racing
Any other ones I forgot to mention...

Here are MY answers:

Platform - Mario
Action / Adventure - Zelda
RPG - Final Fantasy
First Person Shooter - Doom
Racing - F-Zero

What do YOU think?

I put the FF series as platform, because it is mainly for platform and only a couple have come to PC

Umm, Scrozer, I think he's referring to platformers, the run around from point A to point B games that typically involve simple puzzles such as jumping from ledge to ledge or flipping a switch to proceed whilst avoiding or defeating a constant stream of simple enemies (and sometimes a boss). pre-gamecube Mario is a good example of this (since i'd personally classify sunshine as an action/adventure).

Platform: Kirby

Action/Adventure: Metroid

RPG: Seiken Densetsu (aka Secret of Mana ... this does not include the awful Legend of Mana)

FPS: Thief

Racing: Gran Turismo

Mostly what I play...

FPS: Halo, Duke Nukem, Doom, UT
Racing: GT series
RPG: Morrowind

I never cared for any of the FF games, the first ones were good, but for the most part anime style games make me sick.

Yes. Keen, Whacky Wheels, and Catacomb Abyss 3D are all very old (VGA) computer games. Fallout is widely seen as one of the best PC RPGs. Gabriel Knight was a CGI adventure game if I'm not mistaken. Chips Challenge and Ultimate Domain I haven't heard of.
