I beat Final Fantasy VI yesterday and count that day (May 2nd, 2013) as one of the best days of my life. I'm fucking serious too, on May 2nd, 2014 I'm going to have a little party treat that day and every other May 2nd I live through as though it was a legitimate Holiday. I call it Day-O-Cide.
Ya know what else is a great game? Doom. Also Doom 2. In fact, if you spend $20 on Doom 3 BFG, those two games come packaged with it on disc! You should go buy Doom 3 BFG Edition.
Sonic the Hedgehog on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is like The Room in that you need to experience it just for the sake of having experienced it.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is just awesome. So is just about any Castlevania on the Game Boy Advance or, DS (but only if you agree that Symphony is awesome).
Metroid is bad ass...it's bad-ass but terribly dated which might turn you off. If it DOES turn you off than maybe Metroid: Zero Mission will turn you on because it's a sexy GBA remake of Metroid plus it adds boss fights and a post-game section that wasn't in the NES original.
If you have a Playstation or Playstation 2 or, access to PSN, you'll want to download any Final Fantasy that they have. I beat my copy of Final Fantasy VI because I have the Anthology and I'm currently playing through Final Fantasy because I have the Origins disc...I beat FF2 because of the PSP and FFIV because of the GBA (also excellent ports: 1-2-4-5 & 6) and 7-9 on the original console...also I still have them.
Final Fantasy X also has great gameplay, even if the voice acting, story and, presentation are a bit lackluster and it takes forever to be able to travel freely to...just about anywhere (and I didn't like Blitzball)
Legend of Zelda (1, 2, Link to the Past, Awakening (&DX), Ocarina of Time (and Master Quest and 3DS), Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Minish Cap and, Twilight Princess) all DEMAND your attention. Granted most people didn't like 2 because it was a difficult side-scroller and, a lot of people didn't like Wind Waker's art direction. Speaking of Art Direction though, Awakening DX and Ocarina of Time 3DS are the best looking versions of those games.
Star Fox (either SNES or N64 or 3DS remake of the N64 version)
BULLY! It's awesome and under rated. It's like a mix of GTA and Harry Potter with a romance system similar to Fable (ie: hold hands with and, kiss whoever the Hell you want if they're of-age...also you can smack asses). If you get the 360 edition there are Achievements too.
