We all have a different gaming background. Some gamers were Sega kids, others were Nintendo. The last two generations have carried this trend on, you’re an Xbox gamer or a PlayStation gamer. As gamers have got older though and have more income, most of us own both consoles, but most still have a preferred console of choice. With limited time and thousands of games a year, there’s never enough time to play everything. So here are 5 beloved games that I’ve never played, or only for an hour or so.

5 – Resident Evil

One of the biggest horror franchises in gaming history, Resident Evil has filled its fair share of underwear over the years. My underwear was always clean though. I was around 10 when Resident Evil first launched and was too young to play. It wasn’t until the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 that I would try the series. I must admit I love Resident Evil 4 and 7 but never played the first entries into the franchise.

4 – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

A beloved N64 game and most Zelda fans will point at this title as the best Zelda game, but I much preferred Breath of the Wild on Switch. I strongly believe if I was a Nintendo kid growing up this wouldn’t be on this list, and it’s something I’m saving to play with my daughter when she is old enough, but unfortunately, until then, it can’t hold my attention for more than 30 minutes.

3 – Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2

I was a PlayStation kid growing up and in my teens, but I was never a fan of Disney. Kingdom Hearts combine something I love with the JRPG with something I have no feelings for in Disney, and it was an instant turn off. I’ve tried playing Kingdom Hearts 1 several times but I just find it so boring. With Kingdom Hearts 3 coming next year I really want to change this, but I just struggle to stay awake while playing Kingdom Hearts.

2 – Super Mario 64

My household growing up was dominated by Sega and then Sony when the PS1 launched. Nintendo never got a say in and with that neither did Mario. The first Mario game I owned and played was Mario Sunshine on Gamecube. Sunshine is beloved by many Mario fans, but probably the most beloved is Super Mario 64. It’s one of my dark secrets in gaming. I even own four N64’s and a boxed version of Super Mario 64, but I have no desire to try it in 2018. I will rectify this one day, but until then the only thing I can do is apologise.

1 – Super Mario All Stars

Regarded by many as the best cart in the world, Super Mario All Stars included Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3 & Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels. Some of the best Mario games ever rolled into one cart makes for a killer collection, a killer collection that I never played. This is kind of a cheat as I have played Super Mario Bros 3 now, but still this cart is considered god tier and for good reason, unfortunately for me, I didn’t have a SNES growing up to play this classic.

That’s my list of 5 games I’ve never played or only for an hour or so. I’m sorry if this upsets you as a gamer. What games have you never played that are considered classics?
