What games do you consider "must-play" for everyone to appreciate the medium of gaming? Maybe if we discussed some games with actual substance and importance the next generation of gaming won't be so hideously tasteless like the retarded children that currently occupy this board. Not your favorite games or "hidden gems" necessarily, I mean the games you consider to be classics that everyone should experience at least once.
I'll start with a few >Final Fantasy 7 >Metal Gear Solid 1-3 >Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 >Super Mario Bros >The Legend of Zelda >Chrono Trigger >Ninja Gaiden >Castlevania: Symphony of the Night or Rondo of Blood >Classic Ultima games >Myst >Age of Empires II >Baldur's Gate >Fallout 1+2 >Persona 3-5 >Shining Force >Sonic The Hedgehog >Jet Set Radio >Dark Souls >Super Metroid >Star Fox 64 >Text Adventures such as Colossal Cave Adventure
Doom and Doom 2. Just get THROUGH them on atleast Hurt Me Plenty. I of course wish it was pistol start, no mid level saves, Ultra-Violence, but I don't wanna scare people away. These games are ridiculously important and not acknowledging that is bent.

Unsurprisingly, I have played none of those games (except Super Metroid, which I tried just to check how shit it is). I literally don't even know a single one of these games Idk, just play two best games from each genre. I really doubt you need anything more than that to comment on video games.
Logan Watson
as much of a mess it can be I think that anybody into this hobby should play Bloodlines
It's by far the best game ever made and the only one you need to play. The only bad thing is that everything else will be a step down and the rest of your life will be filled with disappointment (at least when it comes to video games).

Good list boomer user. I wish we had something like a Zig Forums recommended sticky from various platforms/generations that is the expected minimum for posting here, so that we wouldn't have so many people whose only experience with the medium is the last Ubisoft open world game and the flavor of the month multiplayer shooter.

I am on board with most of these but some of this shit is cringe. >Persona 3-5 these games are just friend simulators for autistic losers, skip >Sonic the Hedgehog arguably the most furry thing in existence, also has literally been proven to give children autism in a study on the US national library of health and medicine, hence why the protein responsible for it in the body was named the "sonic hedgehog" protein. >Star Fox 64 see above minus giving people autism remove that shit and we're getting somewhere

Mainline is still niche compared to Persona. They're very good dungeon crawlers, but not must-play classics, and you'll ending up unnecessarily filtering out a lot of people.
