Ok there are more than two but they are quite different - and I don't think dungeon or starglider will make it to the short list.

dungeon - VAX 11-780 (text)
tetris - Gameboy (2D)
starglider - XT (wireframe) CGA only
duke nukem - i386 (3D)

Mario Kart (SNES) nothing is more fun.
Then I would say Deus Ex 1
Half Life
Halo 1 (sorry ps2 fans, i'm just addicted to it)

In the above order too.

EDIT: Sorry have to include Virtua Tennis 2 on DC for 4 player mayhem of fun.
