I have opened this to discuss all classic gaming such as space invaders, doom, duke nukem and etc, I currently own duke nukem 3D, Doom, Doom 2 And Quake arena (Or quake 3) on Xbox live, I own Doom 2, Doom, hexen, heretic, strife on computer, those are for modding purposes only though.
In addition, all of these games must be made before 2007.
EDIT: I personally think my favourite out of all of those would be Doom 2 though.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles counts as classic? Because that game ROCKED! The music, the boss battles, the storyline, and the beautifull backgrounds (Just look at the water in Hidrocity, or the icebergs floating in the outside of Ice Cap), everything in that game was pure perfection.
In a side note, I found a hack that makes Sonic 3 & Knuckles in one game, with a lot of additions (Like moving Fliying Battery beetwen Carnival Zone and IceCap, when it was mean to be, or new cutscenes.)

Do Knights of the Old Republic count as a classic? because those games are AWSOME. Doom also kicks alot of ass. Also the old MGS's are pretty awsome aswell.

Sure let me be more specific, any games made before 2007.

HAHA! That means I can add Dawn of War to my list. That game was more badass than any of the other games on my list.

I've always preferred Sonic 2 over S3, S&K and S3&K for some reason (Yeah, I also class them as separate games) probably because its the one I grew up with.
With 3&K though, IMO the Sonic 3 levels are better than the second half's (Minus Mushroom Hill) in design and Gameplay, I really don't like Sandpolis or Act 1 of Lava Reef.
However, With all these Classic Games, I just cant help but feel kind of depressed at how the Gaming Industry has turned out. Too much Greed, too much Online and WAY too much "DLC" that should be in the game in the first place. Not to mention almost all of the franchises I truly loved as a early Sony Fan (Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Medievil, Ratchet And Clank, Need For Speed, Resident Evil etc.) are all either Dead, Utterly Ruined (ever mention Skylanders and ill have to kill you) or just plain bad now, and if they aren't around at the moment I really don't want them back as I just know they will be utterly awful.
Now I've got my Moody Nostalgia Fag out, crotch thrusting Earthworm Jim:

Well, Sonic 2 Introduced Tails, Multiplayer and Super Sonic, and have something 3 & Knukles doesnt have: A HIGH SPEED CHASE IN DAT SKY (and a strangely fast Robotnik)
And yes, the gaming Industries is getting lower and lower, The last good Next-Gen game I played was Portal 2 and Halo (Any of the 4) But, everything else is just a lame shooter or racing game, or one of those annual sports game
And about the typo in Hydrocity, In spanish I and Y sounds the same, an small confusion XD

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis
Release Date: 2003
This game didn't have the best ratings by some game companies but to me, it is a true classic
GameSpot: Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis provides an enjoyable experience, with attractive graphics, strategic gameplay, and unique features that provide up-close looks at the dinosaurs in action.
IGN: Jurassic Park: Project Genesis allows players to design and manage the most amazing dinosaur theme park the world has ever seen, or battle their way through 12 intense missions that will test their mettle against the awesome powers of nature and its most dominant creatures.

Don't worry, Sega themselves spelt it wrong in Generations, calling it Hydro City

Toy Story for the Mega Drive, altough it was ridicusly hard (Atleast for me, but I can even beath more tha 2 levels in Pacman, so maybe is just how I see it) The minigames were fun an the artwork, well... wasnt ugly for being pre renders XD
