NOONE put SMB on their list. My list.

1. SMB

2. Pac-man

3. Doom

4. SFII

5. Tetris

6. MGS

7. An awesome 8-bit or 16-bit beat em up(TMNT 2-4, bad dudes, final fight, streets of rage, etc)

Those are the only ones I can think of that everyone should at least get their hands on. All of these games spawned either a genre or many clones or both.

Super Mario Bros

Tetris (the Game Boy or NES versions)

Pac-man

Super Mario 64

Zelda: Link to the Past

Final Fantasy 7

Street Fighter 2 (either World Warrior, Championship Edition or Turbo)

I haven't 'played through' all of those (I've never fully completed Zelda or Mario Bros 1) but off the top of my head those are some pretty significant games that are well worth playing.
