And even though I agree that most of them are worth playing, this thread wasn't about games that are just worth playing. More like... legendary games that inspire you which you'll love even if you pick them up 10 years from now. I was mainly thinking about Far Cry and SoF games, hell, they had good graphics for their time but when such graphics fade in the light of even newer game, there isn't really much left under the surface. It isn't the same with... say Half-Life which still is a quality game after all this time. The Call of Cthulhu was fun, and despite not having high end graphics, kinda frightening, but not an exceptional game. And the Hitman series are nothing compared to Thief. Bioshock is nothing compared to System Shock. Most newer games actually suck if you compare them to the previous era. Oh well, different tastes I guess  .
I agree with that. Maybe I am pushing this debate too far, but I really didn`t see this thread as the very best games you have to beat. It that case very few can be mentioned in terms of originality, level design etc. I have been playing computer games since `96. For myself I could say that I am very nostalgic player. I prefer older games than new ones, but you can`t live in the past. Blood 2, System Shock 2 and AvP are my favorite games by far. If you have been playing since `96 until now you have to agree that todays games do not have a soul. Unfortunately today is all about good graphic. If you have kick ass graphic then nothing else matters, not story, A.I. level design or any other aspect of the game.
However even in newer times there are games that are worth playing and stand out as I mentioned. It is shame IMO that todays games are all about graphic. But sometimes you have to just stick with what you have, and value any kind of originality or cool gameplay. I am really glad that developers of HL2 are investing more in developing of story/music and the overall feeling in the game then they are in top notch graphic. I really value that. You could easily say that popular games we play today are rip off or dumbed down older games. One of this example can bee seen in Bioshock. Of course Bioshock will never be as good as SS2 was. I just wanted to clarify some things

Yes Super Mario 3 every level no skipping, and you can't die. That's really fucking hard, actually I'm going to try that brbbbbbbbb

Starfox 64! One of the first games I ever played and it is epic in every way.

Ultima 4. Real oldy but best story in a game ever IMO.

Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja! woo!! Golden Axe, Knights of the Round, Final Fight, Metal Slug, Altered Beast, Contra, etc.
My odd love for lame arcade side scrolling fighters aside, Maniac Mansion of course, Full Throttle, DK Country, Loom, Most of the FF series, Grandstream saga(ps1 game, underated imo), Clive Barker's Undying, Mcgee's Alice, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus to name a few. Haven't played a good game in quite awhile though, guess I can give Bioshock a try.

super mario rpg for SNES, fucking unbelievable SNES game
Glover - terrible game for the casual gamer, but this game is so wierd/difficult it makes newbs cry. a must play if you have N64....dont expect to beat it.
Monkey Island - catchin dem monkeyz with red lights on their head, wtf but so fun
Donkey Kong 64/Banjo kazooie/Banjo Tooie - all pretty epic platformer/collector games that are humorous and take forever to fully complete. Ever since the N64 I haven't seen games like this that just have so much depth(even if the gameplay isnt that great)
pretty much all old school mario games...classic
and uh...Super man game for SNES. pretty hard to beat, took me a while. Iceman level is fuckin hard.

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Worms Armageddon
And of course Monkey Island I & II (I love the 3rd part, but I think it's easier than the first two)
