[silver wolf009]

Gituar hero. Loved it but expert was an inmenetrable wall of difficulty.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Anything that wasn't on PC. Except for DOOM.

So, most of 'em.

 

[Marter]

Tetris, Super Mario Bros, Doom, Resident Evil and Guitar Hero.

Enjoyed all of them except for the final one.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Geez, only three of them.
I guess that makes me a noob.
By the way, I was about to question Guitar Hero being on the list, but then I remembered there was a distant time where it wasn't just an endlessly rehashed and repackaged franchise, and was actually a fresh new genre altogether.

 

[Count Igor]

Mario and Tetris.
Loooove the tetris.

 

[Kinichie]

John Madden Football?

That's REALLY genre defying. The same that Fifa was Genre defining an so was Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix.

Also, I have played everyone BUT John Madden Football, because we don't have American Football in the UK.

 

[Chrono212]

3 out of 12
(Tetris, Doom and Guitar Hero)

Yeah...not a retro gamer

 

[MentalBakura]

Just Tetris, Doom and Super Mario Bros here. I've played sequels to several of the other games on the poll, but that doesn't count now, does it?

 

[Something Amyss]

Mario and Tetris.
Loooove the tetris.

Tetris shall never die!

I played over half the list. Not always a fan (Doom), but I've played them.

 

[unacomn]

I've never liked Amerigan Handegg and I don't see the point of Guitar Hero. The other ones I've played and on occasion still do. X-Com is a classic.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Not enough people have played King's Quest; this saddens me greatly (I haven't, either, but I have played the fifth and sixth games).

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

SF II
DooM
SMB
Tetris
Resi

 

[Sixcess]

Doom, Tetris and Resident Evil. Doom is still my favourite game of all time, I play Tetris occassionally and I have a lingering fondness for RE, although I kind of lost interest in the series after 3.

 

[TheTejs]

only 19% have played tetris?
Seriously?

 

[Scobie]

DELETED

 

[6unn3r]

Where is Half-Life on this list?

 

[Woodsey]

Tetris.

I don't like it.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

who hasn't played Tetris? XD
