Looking for Must-Play Classis Video Games

I'm looking to play classic games that I've missed out on over the years and there are several. I've been gaming since '92 but I didn't play a wide variety of games because I was young and there wasn't a lot of money. I'm looking for games from the PS2/ Xbox generation and before. I've missed out on some serious classics and I'm actually embarrassed to admit some of these.. Here's my list so far:

Chrono Trigger

Super Metroid

Shadow of Colossus

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past

Legend of Zelda: Wind Walker

Half Life:1 & 2

Metal Gear Solid 1-3

Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Mega Man 2

Fall Out 2

Grim Fandago

Silent Hill 2

Battletoads

What other games should I add? If there are more games in these series that I need to play, let me know.

Thanks!

All the Metroid games except for Other M, any other Zelda game you may not have played, Final Fantasy 6 and Tactics, Okami, Earthbound. That's what I have so far. Oh, and System Shock 2

i'm guessing you've checked out or played most modern titles so i'll stick with some of the older ones i can think of that i still enjoy playing:

Dragon Warrior games

Lufia

Secret of Mana

Seiken Densetsu 3

Mystic Quest

Wizards & Warriors

Breath of Fire games

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2

-hard to think back that far. some more modern maybe you missed:

Diablo 1 & 2

Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2

Fallout Tactics

-maybe i'll check my old collection and report back when i get home later.

The below mentioned links are websites that I often use for older type video games. You could also do some research into "Retro Type" video game stores in your area. They are not as widely known, but they usually always have older type games. The one in my town has a lot to offer. A lot of retro stores are also willing to ship you games/systems/equipment as well. I do have a question though...How far back are you willing to go? Good luck!

Anyway sorry for my bad english, not my native languange

MrFreeHugs? you haven't helped to narrow down what you're looking for, what you've played. was this just a drunken late-night venture?

If no one's mentioned it yet, get Jade Empire for Xbox if you like RPGs. It's fantastic.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

You're missing out on life if you haven't played that game. It was my drug when I was a pre-teen. :P

Planescape: Torment! Same developer as Fallout and uses the Balder's Gate engine.

System Shock 2 is basically a longer, scarier, and harder version of Bioshock.

F-Zero GX on Gamecube is my favorite racing game of all time.
