What five games best represent gaming as a whole?

[scarlxrd]

essentially you're explaining video games to an alien species They don't know what games are so your list would be their foundation for gaming... what's your list?

Spoiler: My list

Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Virtua Fighter 2, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and Ocarina of Time

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

Super Mario World (SNES)
Until Dawn (PS4)
Skyrim (PC - with the mods)
Chrono Trigger (PS1)
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (360)

 

[Ciggavelli]

Super Mario World (SNES)
Until Dawn (PS4)
Skyrim (PC - with the mods)
Chrono Trigger (PS1)
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (360)

Take out Until Dawn and replace it with a MGS game, and I agree with this list

I actually debated that exact swap. I think until dawn is important to gaming history as it pushes the boundaries towards an interactive film. MGS is very special to me though

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Super Mario World
Final Fantasy VII
Halo 2
Street Fighter 2
COD4

Can't do this with 5 because that's not enough for the genres. I had the idea of making one game for each big category over the years or if it's genre has been a mainstay.

Final Fantasy IV - RPG
Super Mario World - Platformer
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - shooter with online elements
Street Fighter 2 - Fighting Game
Final Fantasy XI - MMORPG
League of Legends - MOBA
