I had a PC when I was a kid. I played games like Wolfenstein 3D (shareware version), Megarace, Heretic (shareware version), Doom, Starcraft, and a shit load of games off of PC demo disks. When I finished middle school my dad bought me a PS3 and my first game Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. (Which I still own to this day) My older brother got a PS2 a few years back to mainly use as a DVD player as well to play a few games (Like X Files: Resist Or Serve. Cause he was a huge X-Files nerd back then. He also got Max Payne) After a while he didn't want it anymore so he gave it and all of the games to me. Today I play PS3, PS2, and PS1 games. I plan on getting more PS1 games since I only have 4 at the moment. (Star Trek: Invasion, X-Files, Quake 2, and Rayman) I plan on getting the Arcade Classics: Williams Collection as well as the Arcade Classics: Atari Collection Volumes 1 & 2.

This is some good taste right here, also I know the feel of leaving games out. I trimmed mine down to be as little as possible but you have a good list of games.

Yeah I felt like I'd be here all night if I put together my true 'essential' or 'definitive' collection, so here is my 'representative' collection. These are all games that had some profound effect or another, and I know I'm leaving out plenty that affected me just as much.

How so? I'd like to see the reasoning because even the mods are confused as to how you can possibly justify post 2000 computer games being allowed based on the "platform" rule.
