Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection?

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-have-died-of-dysentery dept.

SternisheFan writes: I am not a "gamer," per se. I grew up on "old school" arcade/Atari-type games. My question is: What are the very best games to own? Let's assume platform is irrelevant — any console, any computer, any operating system, any mobile device. I'd just like to know what you think are the most indispensable games to have in your collection. Let's expand this to include board games and other tabletop games as well. What games do you make sure to always have on hand for get-togethers?

    If people aren't too uptight, cards against humanity is great.
    Mario kart (any version)

    subjective lists are awesome! If you don't know your friends well enough to know what they like, you have other questions you should be delving into first :)

    Oh, good example. Y'all probably know that already, but Star Control 2 is now available freely under an open source license, just under the different name of Ur-Quan Masters due to trademark issues.
