The Legend of Zelda

Shigeru Miyamoto’s 1985 Masterpiece Introduced Many Gamers To Their First Top-Down Action/Adventure Title. Unlike Most Games In Which Players Could Only Move Forward, Zelda Put Players In A World With Depth And Height. Players Had To Climb Trees And Jump Across Ravines, All While Fighting Monsters, Looking For Keys And Solving Puzzles. A True Gamer’s Game, Zelda Featured Challenging Gameplay Without Feeling Too Tedious Or Frustrating.

Tetris

Gameplay Is Quite Simple. The Player Must Rotate And Position Falling Blocks In Order To Form Complete Horizontal Lines, Which Will Then Disappear, Allowing More Blocks To Fall. The Game Ends When There Are No More Places Left To Place A Piece, At Which Point Tetriminos (Blocks) Begin To Drop Faster And Faster Until You Have No Time Left.

Pac-Man

Considered One Of The Best Video Games Of All Time By IGN And Called A Pinnacle In Gaming History By Gamespy, Pac-Man Is Arguably One Of The Most Famous Games Ever. Developed In Japan In 1979, It Quickly Became A Worldwide Sensation—Not Just For Its Addictive Gameplay But Also For Its Simple Aesthetics (Rectangular Shapes As Characters And Dots Instead Of Apples). Its Popularity Surged Again Recently When Developer Namco Released Pac-Man Championship Edition DX On Xbox Live Arcade.

Super Mario Bros.

One Of The Most Iconic Games Of All Time, Super Mario Bros. First Arrived In Japan In 1985 As A Famicom Game But Became More Well-Known When It Released In North America In 1990. The Game Is Said To Have Originated From Shigeru Miyamoto’s Inspiration For Donkey Kong, And Features A Plumber Named Mario Who Must Save Princess Peach From Bowser By Navigating His Way Through Several Levels.

Sonic The Hedgehog

It Is Currently One Of Sega’s Largest Franchises. The Gameplay Centers Around Sonic, Who Must Stop Dr. Eggman (Also Known As Dr.

Civilization V

Beyond Adding Substantial New Gameplay Elements And Other Enhancements, Civilization V Also Added A Lot Of Detail To Its Existing Systems. Cities Have Many More Types Of Buildings That Are Visually And Functionally Different From One Another. There’s A Greater Range In Tile Yields And Terrain, Which Makes Them More Interesting When You Build Cities Or Embark On Your Voyages. Many Minor Details Were Tweaked As Well; For Example, Barbarians Spawn Less Frequently On Higher Difficulty Levels.

Portal 2

In Valve’s Portal 2, Players Step Into A Strange And Wonderful World Full Of Portals And Helpful Robots. Players Use Portals To Solve Puzzles While Working Their Way Through A Mysterious Laboratory On A Quest To Destroy The Cake. Featuring Two-Player Cooperative Gameplay, An Engaging Story, Hundreds Of Puzzles And Nearly Endless Replay Value Thanks To An Advanced Level Editor That Lets Players Share Their Own Puzzles With Others, Portal 2 Is Definitely One Of Our Favorite Games Ever.

Bio-shock Infinite

This Is An Amazing, Futuristic Shooter With A Super Cool Twist (No Spoilers!). The Gameplay Is Intense And Fun, And You’ll Never Want To Put It Down. Plus, Since Most Developers Have Abandoned Support For Windows XP, You Won’t Be Able To Play It In A Few Years Anyway. Don’t Feel Guilty! Leave Some Room On Your Hard Drive For Other Games.

 

Street Fighter II

Ah, Street Fighter II. The Original King Of Fighting Games. So Much Has Been Said About Street Fighter II And Its Legacy (Over 30 Million Copies Sold!) That There’s Little Left To Say. This Game Is Legend, And It Deserves Its Spot At #1 On Our List—And In Your Personal Collection. Who Could Resist Playing As Ryu Or Ken? And Not To Be Outdone By Ryu And Ken Is Zangief: The Guy Throws His Arms Around! What More Do You Want From A Fight?

Pong

No List Of Video Games Would Be Complete Without A Nod To Pong, One Of The Earliest Commercial Titles. Considered A Spatial Representation Game, It Was Originally Played On An Analog Computer Called A Vector Display, And Basically Involved Two Paddles And A Ball That Bounced Back And Forth Between Them. The Player With Control Over Either Paddle Could Use It To Try To Stop Or Redirect The Ball In Order To Score Against Their Opponent.
