[close2silent]

tomba shall ever be imprinted into my brain...

[IronPigeon9999]

The classic Nintendo games - Mario, Zelda, Metroid.

FPS - Counter Strike. A lot of obituaries in this genre.

Fighting Games - Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat(there's more but i don't play fighters really)

RTS - Starcraft.

RPG - Holy fuck what the hell happened to this genre. All the great RPGs have gone to complete shit. Bioware games have really gone down hill. Well, I guess you could put Elders Scrolls here since that is obviously still kicking.

And the GREATEST of all. MINESWEEPER.

[ItsJR516]

Street Fighter 3rd Strike.

[GeForce440gt]

i can name a lot of older games that stand the test of time. shooters - q3, rts - starcraft, platformers - smb, fighters - sf2, hacknslash prg - diablo. those are games that might not look fresh from today's perspective but the core experience for the specific genre is there and they are perfect examples of game play executed perfectly.

[Imapoorbastard]

to be honest the first gaming tune that came into my mind was tututut du tutut du

YUP mario bros

[hideki12345]

counter strike

[highlander5523]

super smash bros series, sonic adventure 2 (regular and battle), all zelda games, golden sun series, kingdom hearts series, DKC or DK64, FF4-6, goldeneye on N64, mario games, fire emblem, jak 1-3, and chrono trigger

[12mtovar]

@DrakeSparky and a lot more, if i say every game that i believe i'd be playing ten years in the future, there are a lot of classic games that until now i love playing cause they´re awesome and unique

[TayR0C]

Spyro 1-3, Crash 2,3,TR, Jak and Daxter, Twisted Metal Black, SMB3 and W, Mario 64. Well probably lots more, I just still play those games every year.

[dougmac1001]

I'll tell you what DOESN'T hold up: Conker's Bad Fur Day. That game is constantly referred to as a classic. I went back and played it for the first time in years not too long ago, and it looks about as bad as ANY game from that era.

[BigBoss9696]

The other two would be MGS3

DOOM on the SNES

[BigBoss9696]

Amen icy , Final Fantasy VIII is still my favorite RPG .

[gfreakj]

Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, Super Mario 3, Donkey Kong Jr, Ratchet and Clank, and Metroid.

[RageSTi06]

@digitaltiger777 thats a good list. i was trying to think up some games back when i had my atari and coleco vision but none came to mind, but ya id say easily ms pacman, galaga, and donkeykong jr definitely take the cake for that era. id also say even the first donkey kong can go on that list

[SUCKRPUNCHED]

Ocarina. Undeniably the greatest game of all time.

[lylatfox4]

starfox 64

[RageSTi06]

if i had to make a pc list it'd be starcraft, diablo 2, just about every valve game, aquaria, deus ex (the 1st game pc only), fallout 1 and 2 (shits on fallout 3 and new vegas), titan quest. if i have to throw some fps games even though im personally sick of the genre (unless it's different like say L4D or Killing Floor), id say battlefield 2, quake 3 arena, unreal tournament 2004

[plungeybabie]

Chaos theory to be specific

[lylatfox4]

@plungeybabie

I agree chaos theory was ahead of its time

[plungeybabie]

@lylatfox4 chaos theory was better than the ps3 double agent, but the ps2 double agent was really good

[cameronw3]

Zelda: OoT

[plungeybabie]

splinter cells

[TheSethcast]

Damn! I was going to say SMB3. I think if that game was released now it would still do incredible.

[nohozana]

Oh yeah I forgot C&C, except 4, that one destroyed the series. hopefully generals 2 will go back to the old day mechanics.

[xXD000VEXx]

its a cliché but for me ff 7, i play it for maybe a month strait every couple of years.

[45thetank]

bioshock

[plungeybabie]

@45thetank thats this generation...

[nohozana]

Shining force series, panzer dragoon series, megaman series, metal gear series and probably 90% of working designs games when the company was still around.

[RiptorSLO]

Shadow of the Colossus, Dungeon Keeper 2, Giants: Citizen Kabuto

[Archimedies123]

Final Fantasy 6

Super Mario World

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Super Street Fighter 2

Resident Evil 2

The list goes on....

[EPICsliceOFcake]

Dawn of War 1 (and expansions), Diablo II, Sly Cooper (series), Bully, GTA (series), Max Payne, Baldur's Gate, Fallout 1 and 2, and Rayman (series).

[RageSTi06]

Super metroid, link to the past, super mario brothers, mario brothers 3, crono trigger, mega man x, chess one of the oldest games ever lol. u know i wanted to list alot of pc games, but since you mentioned "visually" as one of the criteria, it's hard to do since the jump in graphics between games on pc are insanely huge. when i play the games i listed above they dont make me think "this is outdated" in any form. what i mean by that is, their visuals fit perfectly with the tone/style of the game

[iCaMR1oN]

syphon filter, driver, and cool boarders,

[XC0MB4TXEV0LV3D]

half life1,2, crash bandicoot (naughty dog), oblivion, ssx 3, medevil ps1, tekken 3, soul calibur 2 (best fighter ever!)

[michaeltiao8]

mario 64...

[owensoft]

FZeroGX, Mario

[Persistantthug]

IcyRhythms,

How far back are you referring?

I mean, are you talking about Atari 2600/Intellevision, or are you referring to Sega Genesis?

[IcyRhythms]

@Persistantthug Thought I made it clear. As far back as you can remember man...

[humpmasterflex13]

the original Deus ex, that game was way ahead of its time, and no game has come close to even matching what it has accomplished, not even the Deus Ex HR. NO GAME HAS COME CLOSE to what that game has done.

Unreal Tournament, best multiplayer fps ever MADE! 50 maps out of the box, 10 game modes, THOUSANDS UPON THOUSAND OF USER MADE MAPS, need i say more?

Powerstone 1 and 2 for the dreamcast, best party fighting games ever! SHITS ALL OVER SMASH BROTHERS!

[BLACKB0ND]

Fighting games and four player n64 games that aren't FPS

[LyricalMasterMind1]

1.sonic 3/knuckles

2.Batman Arkham asylum

3.Sims 2

[PATRIOT7ME]

Um that is really hard to say. Good luck getting an answer from me

[ShawShank503]

I forgot Twisted Metal also.

[ShawShank503]

WarHawk?

Resident Evil?

Street Fighter?

[IcyRhythms]

@ShawShank503 But which games in particular from those series?

[ShawShank503]

@IcyRhythms I have no idea...

Twisted Metal has definitely stood the test of time.

Longest PS3 exclusive still up and running with it's latest installment coming soon.

Twisted Metal is enough proof that a game can stand the test of time.
