This isn't a thread about games you feel others need to play, or upcoming games you're looking forward to. But what are some older games you feel you need to hunt down and play to truly consider yourself a gamer?

Some of mine:

-Beyond Good and Evil: Everyone says it's awesome, and whenever there's a game that the few people who buys it loves it, they're usually right. Case in point: Psychonauts.

-Metal Gear Solid series: Such an iconic video game series, yet I've never played a single title, and now with the compilation at $30, there's no excuse for me to not pick it up and give it a try.

-Silent Hill 1 & 2: Same reason as above, minus the compilation thing, those I have a feeling will take some hunting down.

- Half-Life 2: I played the first one up until this elevator shaft rubble-jumping thing that I could never get past, and gave up. So having never finished the first game, I felt I'd be missing parts of the plot. I lost my copy of Half-Life and eventually became disinterested in the series until recently.

Can't think of any others right now.

Gonna have to agree with you on Beyond Good and Evil. Other than that...i'm not too sure if i've truly missed out on some classics.

Odin Sphere and Tales of the Abyss are two that I need to play and want to, I just never get around to do so.

There are other games that bored me, but that I still feel like i should play, the one comming to mind right now is Skies of Arcadia.

Its known as a 'Pile of shame'

The Shame part comes from either the game being a critical success but a commercial flop and/or the developer tanked.

Yeah... About that...

Half life 1's plot is meaningless at best, nonexistent at worst. Besides, HL2's plot kinda fills you in and it doesn't really connect to the original.

So don't worry about it.

Ico and Baldur's Gate are at the top of the list. After that comes the first six Final Fantasies and Half-Life 2 (although I don't know if Half-Life 2 counts as old yet).

I am actually impressed with Spleeni's suggestions to which half the games are actually decent.

I would also suggest anyone who doesn't mind being killed constantly for being a beginner untill learning how the controls work, Battlefield 2142 or any of that series, but only choose one from becuase they are pretty much the same.

Just remember this: The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.

Psychonaughts
All of the MMORPGS
The only resident evil I played was the first, and it scared the crap out of me so I stopped.
Starcraft.

Although I'm proud to say I've finished every c&c out. Personally I think the old ones were better.

In a way, IWBTG is begging me to hunt it down. Mainly though, Battletoads. Ico is on there too, but it just never looked too appealing to me.
