Influential and beloved games I have never played. Updated as of 7/24/14

I have actually gotten around to playing some of the games on my list so I deleted them and decided to add a few more.

Showing 1-10 of 12 items

Star Fox

1. Star Fox

It looked ugly and you played as a spaceship instead of the fox on the box. I also didn't have a SNES. Cut me some slack I know Star Fox Adventures sucked but I was like 9 when this game came out.

Dance Dance Revolution

2. Dance Dance Revolution

I never felt like wasting quaters on a game that looked like a Simon Says with weird Techno music.

Virtua Fighter

3. Virtua Fighter

When the original came out it looked ugly and boxy. When I did start playing 3D fighters I was a Namco man and was intimidated by an article in EGM that said the series was more reliant on skill and combo memorization then the Tekken series.

F-Zero

4. F-Zero

If it ain't Rock n' Roll Racing then I don't give a rat's ass.

Bomberman

5. Bomberman

I don't know why I never played any of the multiple incarnations of this beloved franchise.

6. Dragon's Lair

When I found out you didn't have direct control over Dirk I had no desire to play.

EarthBound

7. EarthBound

Another case of not owning a SNES as a child.

Guitar Hero

8. Guitar Hero

This is a technicality because I have played Rockband and DJ Hero but I never played the original that kicked off the short lived plastic instrument genre.

The Sims

9. The Sims

Just a case of me not being much of a fan of the concept of The Sims.

Duke Nukem 3D

10. Duke Nukem 3D

I always wanted to play this but I never got around to it. I am sure by now Duke Nukem 3D has aged horribly.
