My list keeps getting longer....

seriously, this thread is killing me

ditto! it almost makes me glad when there aren't new games that i want to play being released, since there's already so much great stuff to catch up on.

I'm not gonna lie, I call myself a classic gamer but yet I have never played a lot of the stuff that's here, which hurts my pride a little. The most prominent of which is Final Fantasies 1-12, which is a bit depressing to me.

Eventually I'll go through the thread, copy/paste everything I haven't played, get chewed, and then go on an eBay buying spree.
Out of the last ten posts though (thanks preview!) here's what I haven't played:

Metroid Prime 2 and 3
Castlevania (all of them)
Okami
Final Fantasy 1-12
Dragon Warrior/Quest (though IX looks great)
Half-Life
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Vagrant Story
Xenogears
Breath Of Fire series
Banjo series
Beyond Good and Evil
And other PS2 classics like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

Chrono Trigger/Cross

Nintendo games. I don't play them. I just never had a Nintendo console. Never finished a Mario game, never played them for more than half an hour, to be honest. I don't think I'm missing much. I understand the appeal, it's not for me. The music is annoying. Big exception are Zelda games. I do like Ocarina of Time, and, though I never finished it because it's too damn long, A Link to the Past is also excellent. Also, Pokémon. Other than these, I don't really have much of a clue when it comes to Nintendo.

Never played the Sonic games too much either, even though I had a Mega Drive growing up. I just thought I missed out on too much of the game because of the speed and different paths. I was a Mega Man kid through and through.

Actually, open world games don't hold my interest. I've never finished a GTA game, despite owning a lot of them. I just start the game, see that I have no interest whatsoever in anything of what's happening and put them away. Symphony of the Night is kind of like the same.

Since I've never been a PC gamer, I missed out on most classic first-person shooters. I'm remedying that now that I'm mostly a Steam gamer.

I was a Mega Man kid through and through.

And yet you never had a Nintendo console?

If Zelda is good for you, it might be worth your time to check out a few of the Metroid games and see if you like any of them. They have a similar style of game progression to the Zelda games.

Someday I would like to complete Final Fantasy IX. I just don't have the time lately, and the game is 4 discs long. Made it to the 2nd disc though, and the game is absolutely amazing.
