I would think a game that was a milestone of its genre, such a Mario, Doom, Tetris or anything else famously retro.
Games right now seem a dime a dozen. You see so called AAA title games releasing left and right with 9 and 10 scores right now, not giving you a clear message at what you should buy. 5 and 10 years ago you could spot the cream of the crop, like Halo and Halo 2, or even Half-Life series (sorry for using the FPS genre for a reference) but right now everything seems "good" while you've only got a small wad of cash to spend it on. Thats probably whats contributing a little to people pirating games, but I wont get into that.

Do you think someone should HAVE to have played certain games before you can consider them a "true" gamer? I'm talking the hidden gems that you find in a bargain bin, the NES and Dreamcast classics, the indie games, and the games that nobody else knows about, even if it's right there on the shelf...
For example, many VALVe games are considered almost legendary at this stage, and some might consider you unclean if you haven't played Final Fantasy.

And finally, is there any game that you would immediately snatch up if you saw it on sale?
