What famous games have you never ever played?

Yeah, I'm just trying to flesh out these last few emulators; arcade machines and dos, and a few ports. Want to try and free up as much space as I can and figuring out what I want to do with it. Maybe adding somehow to ES; faqs or guides, using firefox or xpdf or even Acrodos adobe acrobat for dos. I think the raspbian system almost takes up a third of my sdcard at 9gb.

Games I have played on my PI:
Actraiser, I got to the ending its a pretty short game.
Dragon Quest III, I would have named this as a famous game if I didn't just play it recently.
Front Mission Gun Hazzard, I might be like halfway through
Heracles no Eikou IV, actually I'm not that far but I'm past the beginning and getting into the game.
Ogre Battle: I'm on the fourth map or so.
Ghoul Patrol: I don't know but if there is like 200 levels as Zombies ate my neighbors then I'm not very far along.
Shantae,
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, I put in like 33 hours.
Aladdin for sega mega drive
Lunar SSSC.
Ultima 8. I have some of the enchanted items and max stats anyway
Oh and Final Fantasy 4 complete. I have to replay the return to baron after you become a paladin because I forgot to save.

And as for a famous game I havent played
Star Fox

There was another topic like this last year where I added my own shameful list of missed greats of the past.

@chubsta Any final Fantasy game. I really don't like turn based games. So you could count any famous turn based game in that also.

How is everybody getting banned in this topic?

@simpleethat spam most likely, each account joined yesterday and only has one post

I just began to play iD yesterday. It's on my "must play before I die" list since the 80s when I had a C64, but iD was only available for the ZX Spectrum. 😭

@Clyde well iD sounds pretty interesting

Clyde

@simpleethat Yes, iD does. ;)

I had to solve some obstacles getting keyboard input configured in the Spectrum emulator, though. To have full keyboard access in the game, you have to set the controllers for player 1 and 2 to "none" and for player 3 to "Sinclair Keyboard". But then, the keyboard overlay on "Select" doesn't work anymore. I'll have to look further into this.

Hint: On the Spectrum's keyboard, a question mark is made with Right Alt + C (AltGr + C on a German keyboard). I think you'll need it to ask iD questions. ;)

edit: Ah, I finally found the solution (just mentioning it here to close this up). Set player 1's controller to Cursor Joystick and all of its bindings except for Keyboard Overlay to "---". Then you'll have the overlay on whatever key you set it to, and the rest of the keyboard will work nonetheless.

Hint 2: Press Right Alt + M for a full stop / period.

@WeirdH haha! I've played it but have yet to complete it. It's a pretty good game though

Mother/2/3/Earthbound/Beginnings

@simpleethat I am very much planning to play at some time, because it gets nothing but praise. I never really got the appeal of jrpg's and such when I was younger, but I think I can appreciate them now. Same with Sword of Mana, by the way.

IanDaemon

Secret of Mana was great! I never played any other "Mana" series games.

(Similarly, I only played Tales of Symphonia in the "Tales" series, but that entry was quality.)

i know, i know.

The Zelda games

@IanDaemon: I tried playing Earthbound a few years ago. I didn't last very long. I made it through a couple of the first encounters, and I just didn't enjoy it. I considered forcing myself to sit through it, but I've never liked that style of combat in games, so I didn't bother.

@Crush: I've never played a Zelda either. Never had one for the Gameboy, and the next Nintendo I owned was the Wii, so I missed all the stuff in between.

I'd have to put D on the list of games I've owned on multiple game platforms but have never played the idea of no pause no save game just start to finish beat the game in the allotted time or die trying both intrigued and kept me from starting it .
