Two, my personal mental list of classic games are almost entirely single-player experiences. The further you get from the release of the PS1 to today, the smaller the library of gems gets. One, most of the games I hold up as truly timeless come from the 16-bit era and earlier. One doesn’t need to look any further than last week’s release of the SNES Classic and the outpouring of both nostalgic joy from longtime fans and fresh discovery from new ones for examples.īut when I think about classics, I notice two things. Titles you can dust off and have as much fun playing today as you did when they came out decades ago.
There are some games out there that are true classics.
