I'm only 16, but I got a few adult gamers, my dad, friend's dad, my dad's friends, etc. So I hope this relevant to what you older gamers out there like. From games that made you think it was the future to games that seems like years since you played it. I hope you enjoy.
10. Super Mario
My dad never played this game, because he was a Sega kid. But most of the people I asked they usually listed this as one of the most memorable. I would have to say, it is still a fun game, but you guys already know that. To cut this short, it's really one of the classics.
9. Call of Duty Classic
Most people don't remember this, but a lot of adults called this a Medal of Honor clone. Yes, that's what it was! They just modified it a bit and just did the same as it progressed through the generations. My dad is a CoD fan and he knows this game like he knows his kids! He still plays it today with his pals with a tall pint of beer.
8. Banjo-Kazooie
This is the legend and the reason why I still want a 64. My dad never liked it but he always felt old looking back at it. Most of the others people said it was one of those games that made you feel like you beat it 2 decades ago! They all said it was Rare's golden age. I would have to age
7. Blood Rayne
Everyone named this game on the top of their heads. As soon as they called the game out, all they talked about was how hot Rayne was. I mean, I can see why, but she just looks like an ugly character model. Still this game is one of the best shoot 'em/beat 'em ups of the generation. If you ever come across this game, I suggest playing it! The game still holds up.
6.Mega-Man
A lot of the Nintendo loving adults love this game. Although, his original cover art was a bit hilarious, the game was a remarkable concept. Despite its incredible difficulty, the game marked our fathers' minds and ours as well.
5. Diablo
My dad hated this game for making him waste his life on it. Every time I say the name of this game, at least 5 people look at me. The game is remembered as one of the great RPG titles of the time. I would have to say, there is a lot of incredible replay ability. A few of my friends still have their dads hogging the computer because of this game.
4. Star Wars: KOTOR
A lot of people at the time came to some worry when it released, because of the previous disasters in the Star Wars gaming franchise, but it surprised most people. The game had a very compelling story, great and loveable characters, and an awesome new look of the world of the Extended Universe. There is a reason why a lot of old fans of Star Wars loved this. I mean it feels like a work of George Lucas!
3. Mega-Man X
My dad loves this game. One time, we found it in the garage with a SNES console and 2 controllers. At the time, we were in need of money so we sadly had to sell the poor thing. For a lot too! It sold for almost a full grand! To be clear, I never played this game, but every time I mention Mega-Man, my dad asks if I'm talking about X.
It gained so much popularity, that it had two other sequels. Each one different from the last, the game is big, but never leaves your mind. Oh, if you ever come across Mega-Man X 3 at a Thrift Store, make sure you buy it! It sells for hundreds of dollars! It goes for even more with the box cover.
2. Sonic The Hedgehog
Aaah... That beautiful them... I know you Nintendo freaks love the more famous mascot, Mario, but this game went ahead of the track. See what I did there? I made a pun! Anyways, the game was remembered, but the high price of the console put the game to a deep hole.
Like how Street Fighter rose to fame, after the second game, it got noticed and marked the minds of my dad and almost every gamer there is. Don't think it hasn't! You know you love that game! I see you playing it on the DS! Don't you hide it!
Now for our Honorable Mentions.

1. Crash Bandicoot
Almost every PlayStation owner knows this awesome character. The game wasn't just fun, but hard! It had a combination of puzzle side scrolling and Mario kill mechanics. And that was the reason why it was so memorable! It made us almost rage quite! And he is also crazy enough to go to the Nintendo studio and tell them out!
But we still love this crazy, furry rodent!
Did you like my list? What game made you feel old? Why am I asking that? I know you guys won't answer!
And until next time...
