"Castlevania: Symphony of The Night is a game anyone who loves video games should play. Not only is it a great game by its own times’ standards, but by today’s. Had SoTN been released last month, I’d consider it just as highly as I do now. There are very few ‘classics’ I can say the same for. A great structure built around fun gameplay and cool systems, with tons of interesting secrets. If you haven’t, play Symphony of The Night."

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
