Smash Brothers (you think I'm joking?)

Final Fantasy (goddamn that hardcore base got big overnight)

PONG (some people still love this classic)

VooT (all you Dreamcast owners out there, you know what this is)

The King of Fighters (I tried to tell my friend what this was once, and just gave up because he was so engulfed in his "Dead or Alive Hardcore" shit...Hardcore my ass...)

Universally recognized? That sounds like mainstream to me.

Ahh UO and Everquest....I used to play ultima, but it took up waay too much time. I'm scared to play "evercrack." I'd be lost..forever. There's no ends to them, and they're way too addictive. They've scared me to the extent that I carry a chainsaw, 3 rubber ducks, and holy water whenever I'm near them....they'll take over us all...they will...

let's put it this way..

When you get 3-4 video game nerds in a room, what games do they all recognize, identify with, and talk about?
