This is a list of games that --- years after their release --- people keep talking about. They aren't necessarily the greatest games ever, or even my favorites. (Several of them I have not even played.) But these are the games that I keep hearing mentioned on podcasts, blogs, forums, and friendly conversation. No matter what their qualities, each of these games was somehow revolutionary and because they have not been forgotten.

Such a simple game, but so endlessly replayable. This game still appears on every platform from dedicated game consoles to phones. Personally, I must have spent hundreds of hours playing it in my life.
Apparently this is the RPG where you get to drive a forklift. I haven't played this game so I don't know much about it, but people won't stop praising it.

Game that made the Xbox.
I consider all of the Mario games special in their own way. This seems to be the 2-D Mario game people reference the most.
The first 3-D Super Mario, and still the standard to which 3-D platforming games are measured.
I've never played it, but my brother loves it.
This would deserve to be on this list even before Fallout 3.
I think the "puzzles" in this game are pretty weak and therefore it gets too much credit for that. However, it is one of the most fun and most atmospherically story-driven shooters of its era.
