Sorry I can't say 3, if it's of any use to you I loved playing Donkey Kong / Crazy Kong on the Amiga. But I loved to play it on arcade games also. Sadly it's not released on PC so I miss my Amiga if only for playing Kong?

My 3x3s are:
The Best
Falcon. (The first game I bought for my A500)
Tornado. (Please, please, PLEASE will somebody update that to todays PC standards)
Breathless. (A brilliant achievement, but too late to save the Amiga)
Most Memorable
Doom. (It proved that anything the PC could do, the Amiga could do just as well, at the time)
Lords of The Rising Sun. (Played that for 9hrs sometimes. One of the best strategy games to grace the Amiga)
TFX. (Proved to developers that they should just stop whinging and get on with it)
Favourite
Tornado. (Those airfield attacks were the best)
Breathless. (It left me just that)
Lords of The Rising Sun. (It's now called "Shogun-Total War" on the PC)
Time flies like an arrow.....Fruit flies like a banana!! 
'E' is for Ethernet. Used for catching Etherbunnies, Etherfish or Etherbutterflies.
 
No wonder there`s so much poop on my PC these days.

| I didn't have an Amiga (I did have an 800XL - still do!) but my friend did so I can only remember two games, Alien Breed (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/xavnet/alienbreed/) which was amazing. It looked much better pre-VGA. The second one was X-out we played for hours but you always restarted from the begining which was very frustrating (plus we also called it 'ex-out' until we were a little older and realised our mistake). P.S. I've just remembered a revelation. It was called Hunter and was the first game I ever played with 'absolute' freedom. You could get in cars, vans, boats etc. - a bit like GTA but commando style. It really inspired me at the time.
gaming: E4400@2.66GHz / P5K-E / 2x1GB PC8000@533MHz / 2x80GB D'Max 9-RAID0 + 320GB / 8800GTS 512MB / ViewSonic VX2835wm
server+media: P4 2.8GHz @ 2.4GHz / 775Dual-VSTA / 2x512MB PC3200 / 1000GB+500GB+250GB / HD2400pro
also: P3 for the mrs and a linux box and probably enough bits to build another one

Top three memorable for wrong reasons? Bah!
* The one time Sven beat me at Kick Off after I'd had seemingly half my team sent off. Bleedin' referee.
* Midwinter 2. Absolutely loved the first one, was really enthused by the reviews for the second, rushed out and bought it on day one, regretted it within a day or two
* The demise of Cinemaware. With perhaps one exception, I never thought they made *great* games, but they usually delivered something interesting.
I toyed with the idea of including some of the Bitmap Brothers games: Gods, Xenon II, Magic Pockets I thought were hideously overrated. But then I remembered Chaos Engine, Speedball and especially Speedball II, and the totally underrated Cadaver, so I left them in peace!
