I consider myself a gamer of the old-school variety. The oldest-school, in fact. I started shortly after Nintendo made itself known in the American market, and I’ve been playing steadily ever since. Hell, I still play the same MUD I started when I was twelve. That’s nothing but text, ladies and gents. It’s the step between tabletop games and World of Warcraft. And yet, even I have holes in my gaming history. I’ve missed out on playing some classic titles in the video gaming canon, if there is such a thing. Here are five of the most egregious sins from my (non)gaming past.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

But then again, their tastes and worldview about gaming could be so radically different that it would be hard to have a conversation with them.
It's still weird to me seeing people that haven't played a Mario game, and boggling at the implications.
I myself Have not played Kotor,MGS, or Myst.
Myst was one of the first games I ever played. Good memories <3
played all of those games before but I've been gaming since the Atari 2600
I also have never played FF7 or the first MGS. I'm reserving Final Fantasy 7 for a time when I have the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the game. I don't want to rush the game and play when it when I'm stressed.
