If a National Video Game Registry Were to Be Created, What Games Should Be in It?

[RedLink]

Remember, the requirements are that the game either be "Culturally, Historically, or Aesthetically significant". Let us also use common sense when listing please.

For me, here is what I would put:

• Super Mario 64
• Ocarina of Time
• Donkey Kong Country
• Donkey Kong Country 2
• Assassin's Creed
• Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare
• A Link to the Past
• Yoshi's Island
• Super Mario Bros.
• The Legend of Zelda
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Super Smash Bros.
• Metroid
• Super Metroid
• Metroid Prime
• Mario Kart 64
• Bioshock

How about you guys?

Super Mario Bros. - first revolution in gaming

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - revolutionized 3D gaming

BioShock - revolutionized storytelling in gaming

Other games could be added, but I think those are the necessities when pointing out historically significant games.

SM64: More or less created 3D

Goldeneye 007: A huge leap forward in FPS

Ocarina of Time: Perhaps the most timeless game.
