I like many types of computer games.
Probably, if I had to pick, the first games I loved (and that actually drove me into the waiting arms of computerdom) were Zork and Moria and Kings Quest and Ultima. These led to slews of fantasy RPGs and adventure games and eventually MMOs. Morrowwind. SWKOTOR 1&2. Grim Fandango.
But I have played first-person shooters (like Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake); and I have enjoyed a few good strategy games (like Civilization); and I have done dungeon hacks (Diablo 1&2 and Dungeon Siege); and I played adventure games (ALL of Tomb Raider -- 1 & 2 just captured my imagination); and I have played moral games (like Black and White); and I love the Need to Speed series (which satisfies my occasional Se-style thirst).
And I would go to the arcade a lot when younger. I played Q*bert up until the day I played for five hours straight, then had to leave for dinner with 17+ free men racked up (and then I was DONE... nothing left to conquer). And I played Gauntlet. And all the fighting games (STreet FIghter 1&2, X-Men, Marvel Superheroes, a little Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, Tekken...). And Double Dragon, and Shinobi, and Golden Axe.
The one thing I have no interest ever in playing is a SPORTS game.
