I was thinking about the history of gaming today. I was wondering what you folks would choose as the games that can be enjoyed by all, like if you had kids what games would you want them to play or if you wanted to show them a history of gaming which games would be included.
This is my list(in no particular order)
1. Space invaders (Atari)
2. Super Mario Bros. (NES)
3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
4. Pong (Atari)
5. Tetris(NES)
6. Mike Tyson's Punch Out(NES)
7. The Secret of Monkey's Island (PC)
8. The Oregon Trail (Mac)
9. Katamari Damacy (PS2)
10. NBA Jam (Genesis)
I think your thread might be similar to this one.

As you had mentioned a history of gaming. If I am wrong, I apologize.

InnerSpace. Capture icons on your own hard drive and fight off space pirates. Hell yes.

I was hoping to get past nostalgia and try to get to the great games that can be enjoyed by all. Like I enjoy and laugh at games like Carmageddon and BMX XXX, but these are far from being note worthy in the history of gaming and should not be played by younger gamers or sane gamers.
I wouldn't want my kids playing a boxing game.... you listed one.
Anyway, there are loads of excellent kids flash games on the NickJr, Cbeebies and Playhouse Disney websites that my daughters love, and...
Dancing penguins! (http://www2.warnerbros.com/happyfeet/games/tapnmatch/)
Not to mention the My Little Pony and Pingu CDROMs they have...
You wouldn't let your kids play the ultimate 8-bit boxing game EVER? What a baby! :=
GO LITTLE MAC!
Seriously, I don't think everyone (or even the people of this forum) could all agree on even ten games that they all liked, so there isn't really much point.

we are lacking Bubble Bobble, which actually gave me a huge disappointment last time. I had forgotten one thing. I went through over 100 levels alone, played very long, only to realise one can achieve the Good End only in multiplayer mode! And I have no-one to play with :'(

One of the most original and addictive games ever.
If you're alone, and you're good, you can control one dragon with either hand and still finish the game. I wouldn't recommend it on the arcade version, but on the newer PC port it's quite possible.
My favorite games, that I will never put down:
1. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis for PSX
2. Metal Gear Solid (screw that GC remake!)
3. Brave Fencer Musashi
4. Bubble Bobble
5. Metroid
6. Punchout!
7. Super Mario Bros (NES)
8. American Gladiators (NES)
9. Final Fantasy VII (damn you Sephiroth or however you spell it!)
10. Kingdom Hearts
Jus' my 2 cents.
Katamari Damacy?!
That's a mindless, brain-cell destroying game that I'd never NEVER inflict on anybody.

haha way to bypass the "friendship is the real lesson!" aspect of Bubble Bobble. My other hand is my friend, bitch.
