OK, I'm not sure whether I'm a gamer or a person who plays games, but I mostly think that's a silly distinction. So!
-MYST. RIVEN. (ehh, and I guess the rest of the series too ;) ) These games are what got me interested in computers; their fandom is what got me started on the internet. (I even started a myst comm on dreamwidth, to be sneakily spammy :p)
-Other point-and-click adventure games, to a lesser extent; flash room escape games are a recent obsession (there are hundreds of them out there on the internets!). I keep meaning to play through more highly-rated text adventure games, but I'm a visual person and tend to miss the eyecandy.
-I like the Zelda games and Katamari, but I don't own a console
-Kingdom of Loathing! I'm a ridiculous Level 24 Disco Bandit at the moment :D
-Sometimes D&D; sometimes LARPing; I still haven't *really* gotten the hang of roleplaying in the sense of taking on a character who's not just a thin re-visioning of myself, but I like it in theory and would like to get better.
-Knytt Stories and some of its fan-made expansions (like Gaia) are so much fun and so pretty
That's the majority of what I care about at the moment. I tend to be a jack-of-all-trades sort of person in whatever I do, and gaming is no exception, so I'm always on the lookout for something new and shiny :)
