This, or Quake. There would be no Call of Duty. No Half Life or Team Fortress or ANY source games.

I have some candidates!

Chrono Cross. It wasn't *technically* meant to be a sequel, so we still leave room for Chrono Trigger to have a legitimate storyline sequel. And now the company doesn't have the excuse to not ever touch Chrono again, of "oh but we diiiiiiid give you a sequel, hur hur hur." And then we wouldn't have this "Schala is a blonde scrappy kid" abomination, and Magus wouldn't turn into a loser who can only equip one spell per battle or whatever. Whoever turned Schala into Kid deserves a place in the Special Hell for people who talk in the theater.
1) Chrono Cross is a retelling, reimagining, and extension of the game Radical Dreamers, which was already a sequal to Chrono Trigger. Basically it was just the Viper Mansion stuff.

Magus wasn't in Chrono Cross.

And Kid isn't Schala... she's something created by the Schala part of the Time Devourer in order to get free from the Lavos part of the Time Devourer. Harle is another part, used by the Lavos part to make it so Lavos never got destroyed.

Basically the Lavos part of the Time Devourer is trying to use Serge to replace the REAL timeline (Another) with Serge's (Home).

I hate to say it, because I actually like this game, but COD 4 has got to go I'm afraid, it's the game that kicstarted this whole brown realistic shooter syndrome and maybe if it was gone things wouldn't be so god damn stagnant right now. Unless, say, deleting MW2 would stop the rest of the series from being made, because I don't think shooters got super big until that one was pumped out and sold exactly twenty eight kajillion units.

F-Zero GX

and with that, Nintendo can instead use the budget to make Drill Dozer 2.

I would have to say that the games I would delete would be ones I actually love. Why do you ask? The fact of the matter is, they have spawned ugly ugly things.

Final Fantasy 7 - It was announced that if FF7 were ever remade, it would be done as an end of franchise thing. However, imho, none of the FF since have lived up to it's example.

WoW - Yes. Vanilla WoW. Without the success of WoW, we would not have been forced down a slippery slope that I predicted back at the launch of BC that my friends at the time ridiculed me for, but now look at me and tell me they hate me for telling the future. The lack of WoW clones, the lack of games that are built with a focus to specifically destroy WoW and not to innovate in the field of MMOs.... success often breeds cancer.

Halo - Halo is one of few FPS' that I actually like. I think anyone who is more than a casual facebooker can appreciate and even enjoy Halo. It injected something fresh into the FPS genre. That being said, it was Halo that reinforced the idea with major game studios, that FPS games could be profitable. Especially when combined with a halfway decent story. Now, Microsoft does everything in their power to exploit the franchise, even so much as to have a second studio develop a game within the franchise after the first studio said the franchise was done.

WoW, I don't hate WoW nor do I think it's a bad game, but the damage that done to the industry it's just awful.
And I pretty sure that by picking this I also drag Diablo 3, The Old Republic and a shitton of shitty MMO out there along.

Left 4 Dead
I'm a huge valve fan and all but left 4 dead's gotta go,the time spent on that game could've been used on Half life 3 or a better new IP.
The game is simply repetitive,boring and also made fandumbs think Killing Floor(which is the superior game for me) is a rip-off of l4d,which is most definitely not.

Deus ex: Invisible war the sequel to the greatest pc game ever made if ion storm hadnt of dummed it down so much it would have been a bit better and not put the series to sleep until square enix picked it up and made human reveloution it but sorta became the middle child of the three games.

They're still around. A new Serious Sam just came out last year, and I think it's even getting a 360 port this year.

I dislike the modern style of FPS, too, but it's easy enough to ignore in favour of what I do like.

You heard of a game called Castle Wolfenstein? Or Blake Stone? Or Marathon? Removing Doom would not have bucked the trend, slowed it maybe, not gotten rid of it. Some other game would have come along that would have evolved the already growing genre.
Hell, the roots of the FPS genre can be traced back as far as Maze War from 1974. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_War] I think it's almost certain that we'd still be seeing FPS games today if we removed several of those earlier titles. For whatever reason, first person shooting has always been a direction we've tried to go in.
