Pokémon Red/Blue, Pokémon Crystal
Doom (1993), Doom 2: The Plutonia Experiment
Quake, Quake 2
Prince of Persia (the MS-DOS one)
Metal Slug 1 and 2 (these came out almost 26-28 years ago)
Contra, Super Mario Bros, Hudson's Adventure Island, Kirby's Adventure (all of these for the NES)

The game that for me is a masterpiece: Super Metroid.

After that, a few much less known: Montezuma's Revenge, Boulder Dash 1 and 2, Keystone Kapers, Choplifter, River Raid and Henry's House, all of these for the Atari 800XL.

DK: My first history explorer. I practically sped-ran that game every time I went to the library and they had them on the computer.

Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
With the lights turned on, it's hard to hide
Sometimes I wanna disappear

This has shown me everybody here idea of retro is vastly different
I grew up with 64 on the DS gamecube being played on the Wii while others here are older than me don't know about the TV title one stick controller games I grew up on. My point being retro is vast and different for everyone here.
thusly my list
Sonic rush (adventure included) great soundtrack and game play then never touched again
Metal gear most of them are great games even if they are totally poorly written
Mystic Quest/ Final Fantasy 2? (I think?) My aunt owned a European copy of a Final Fantasy game that she some how got to work on American hardware makes me wish I played more of those game TBH
Pokemon PMD explores of sky, Virmir mentioned it earlier and it does is prove i should beat the game fully after i fix my 3DS battery, the story is oddly inspiring
Pokemon Black/White on the ds was the first pokemon game my family owned and then my brother sold it for 50 bucks after i started to get into the franchise later in life, i wish he let me get half way through but now i have my own copy as i slowly go through them all.
Sonic colors on the DS had better game design and an actual use for super sonic though i think it was one of the games i gave to Virmir along with Rush
Super Mario 64 DS my first touch of 3D Mario and you get to play as Yoshi in 3D but sadly he is useless most the game
Kirby in general has a solid ride of games and I am happy they are bringing Kirby AirRide back
Sonic Unleashed not including those darn plane level it is pretty good
Shadow the hedgehog for the game cube but only because it is so bad it walks the line of being fun and funny (who on earth wrote that "this is like stealing candy from a baby" line?)
Sonic 3 (and knuckles i guess) i hate that lawsuit that changed the music for the recent remake ice cap zone is ruined now  QwQ
Mario Kart for the Wii i don't need to explain this
Wii Play was fun with a friend but I think it was only fun with tanks
Wii sports (duh)
Wario Land 3 was fun and makes me wish they made more games like that
Civ 4 was my first Civ game and i hold it close to my chest
BookWorm Adventure 1 and 2 Screw you EA games from remove this from Popcaps library my great uncle would play this game as i watched all the time
PvZ one of the best tower defence games that was the reason EA bought out Popcap which also lead to them ruining future plans with the franchise
Don't Escape franchise was a point and click adventure game that ran on flash that is pretty good if not a bit rough at start, fun puzzle game
Lego Starwars the complete Saga was one of the best lego games ever don't fight me on that please i will cry
Legend of Zelda Mojora mask and twilight princess fun fact the reason link became right handed is because of the remake on the wii of twilight princess
Starcraft was one of the first strategy games like that i played but i was scared past level 2 due to the zerg cut scene for the longest time as a tiny dumb child

these may change later but these are mine right now at 3 AM
