The most legendary games EVER!!

Pong. 'Nuff said.

 

The Realm

The very first MMORPG, atleast from what I remember it is. Was one of my favourite games too. I still remember fearing certain Sash colours on players.

 

Starcraft
Sacrifice
Everything Zelda
Everything Castlevania
Most R-type
Doom
Dungeon Keeper

 

I'm sorry to say, but the most legendary game has to be Super Mario Bros for the NES.
Everyone knows that game including the elderly people. Although Starcraft is huge, it really can't touch the Mario bros.

Mario bros is like the symbol of video games. Basically everyone in the world knows who Mario Bros is (not the case for SC or most other games :-\)

 

Thats just 'time spirit', if you were the age you are now at the time that super mario came out you would have sayd: Yeah its great! But its not a classic like pong or space invaders!

 

Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia :good:

 

Diablo

 

Maybe if you want to mention games that were legendary for their pure evilness.

The original prince of persia is a legendary game. The original Myth would also fall into that catagory. I would also say System Shock for mixing FPS and RPG elements together in the same way that makes BioShock so popular now.

I'm thinking and has anyone mentioned Tomb Raider yet?

 

Nobody has mentioned Tomb Raider!
How could we forget about it?
It's a great game!

 

Yes, those are popular also because they are true classics. But Mario is basically the symbol of all video games. Everyone including non-gamers know what Mario is. Heck even my parents know who he is (but they don't know what pong or space invaders are). I'll ask more people but I'm sure more people know Mario then they know Pong or space invaders.

Another legendary game I forgot to mention is Tetris. That game could probably replace Mario as the most legendary game of all time.

 

How thw hell can you NOT know what pong is?

 

Pong is slang for a very bad smell

 

I am not even sure how to respond to that

 

It's ok, no1 ever does. but you gotta admit you didn't expect that post

 

Then you shouldn't forget about NetHack too

 

Asked 2 of my uncles and aunties.
None of them know what pong is.

But they do know what Mario and Tetris are

 

NetHack is known for difficulty but also fairness.

Gouls´n´Goblins is known for evilness. Who didn´t want to throw the controller out of the window after reaching the final Boss for the first time? Well first you are in a state of denial but once you accept that you have to do the whole torture AGAIN! With a shitty weapon to boot!

 

These are my favorites

RTS - StarCraft
RPG - Chrono trigger
FPS - Perfect Dark N64
strat? - Ogre Battle

 

I've read once of another rogue-like game where creators considered ways to beat final boss cheating. don't remember title though :/

 

That might be Nethack since you can´t "kill" the characters that could be considered Bosses. You can only slow them down.
