Well, the number one most awexome game ever in my mind is... uh... I dunno.
Favorites are:
Zelda: Link to the Past
Super Mario Bros. 3
Contra
Space Quest 4
Earthworm Jim 2
Megaman 2
Final Fantasy 6/Secret of Mana/Chrono Trigger (Greatest "RPGS" of all time)
Daggerfall (A real RPG)
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Damn the lock-on gimmick, but this combo still makes me drool.)
Pac-Man (Not super or Ms.)
Simpsons Arcade machine
Two games for you: Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Spinball.
Lacking how? You ran, you jumped on things, you explored, you got powerups. It's Mario, except 3D. It even had cool music, although I like remixes to the 8/16bit themes better than entirely new music, but you have to give them credit for that too. Banjo-Kazooie also had powerups and you ran and jumped, but you spent the whole game just collecting a bunch of crap. In fact, you were required to collect said crap to complete the game. Sure, Mario had stars, and I liked Banjo-Kazooie, but worthy of taking out Mario 64 as a better platformer it was not!
Uh, the post code doesn't seem to work...

The former rings a bell, the latter was just fun, methinx...
As to Hugo? I found the second one an impossible nightmare, but the other two? Gravy.

Oh yeah, I forgot the old game 'Eric The Unready'.
I think that was the only game that actually replied to phrases such as "fuck you" and "eat shit", and also gave you rewards / punishment / hilarious dialogue if you said it to a few characters. Funny stuff!

And as for the Mario thing, I just don't think they quite captured the essence that was Mario. I still hold that Super Mario World was the best of the Mario games.
Prince of Persia was excellent, but the recent Sands of Time was crap.
Metroid Prime is pretty much a remake of Super Metroid, with a different plot and in 3D. They did an excellent job of switching dimensions.
