Classic Games Thread

I want to know which video games you think are classic, defined as games that are must-plays.

This is more for me to find out about which games I should play than to spend a lot of time arguing over what is and is not classic.

I'll throw a few out there:

Zelda: Adventures of Link
Metroid
Super Mario Cart
Fallout 1 and 3
Skyrim
Tetris
Portal
Street Fighter*
Mortal Combat*
Bionic Commando
Civilization 4
NBA 2K
NHL 93


* I don't really like these games all that much anymore, but played them tons back in the day.

Mass Effect 2 is a MUST play
Red Dead Redemption is also a MUST play

I never thought red dead was that good, tbh after the story mode finished I thought it was pretty boring, especially online

I only played the story mode, but that story was very good ( even though I'm not a big fan of westerns )

Another game that I just thought about was one that I loved, but just about everyone else seemed luke warm on was Borderlands.

A few different people have mentioned Borderlands recently. I'll add that to my list to play also.

The Getaway

Probably one of the most underrated game on PS 2. It had a actual down to detail map of London, great car chases, crazy missions, awesome storyline, terrific voice acting. I spent many a hour playing this game to bad the series was ruined when the second Getaway game came out.

Was going to post pictures up, but there are simply too many and would take up too much room, so I'll just list from oldest to newest:

SNES
NBA Jam
Super Mario World
Street Fighter
Tecmo Super Bowl
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
Super Punch Out
Mortal Kombat 2

N64
Super Mario 64
Diddy Kong Racing

Hmmm... I've been pretty intrigued by that game. I love the poem, and I know that the game takes great liberties with it. I might have to pick that up at some point.
