Mercenary and Sword of Damocles, which I poured hours into, but never really understood what I was supposed to be doing.
Because my uncle was a big fan of those games, I ended up with both of them when I was a kid.
All I can tell you about them is that I managed to get that one ship that allowed me to fly up to the big floating box in the sky in the former, and the latter was fun, because you could fly through the solar system, and explore all the little planets. Never did understand them much beyond that.

Did you play Bloodborne Tony (same question to Henke actually)?
Because there is one boss in that I saw on YouTube (wish I owned a PS3/4) which would be pretty bad for arachnophobes and I'd be curious to know what happened to you.
Oh God, yes, I remember that one. Was pretty damn icky, but I persevered. Somehow spiders in games aren't as scary when it's a third person game. That's is why I switched to 3rd person cam in Skyrim every time a frost spider showed up. :p

Oh yeah! I haven't played any of the Assassins Creed games, either.

There's an interesting study to be had if ever I saw one. Wonder if it could feed into phobia therapy somehow.

If there weren't quite so many of them (with no end in sight), I'd recommend them avidly. The first game gets tedious, but from AC2 to AC:R the series really shines and while I'm slowly trudging through AC3 over the course of a couple of years now, I've heard that 4 is the best of the series. But even with that being a rewarding rollercoaster, I'm not sure I have the tenacity for the meta-game aspect of my actual ancestors finishing the series I started.

I'll probably play one of them at some point, I just haven't felt this driving need to do so yet.

Did they ever improve the combat in AC? I watched my sister play the first and the combat was so janky it turned me off. I thought it was so stupid the guards attacked you one on one and never teamed up on you.

This thread has made me realise how long my own list of classic things that I haven't played is.
Basically haven't played anything from before the 90s, nor any games that were exclusive to consoles (or often series that started exclusive.)
I haven't played:
* Any of those classic game series like Mario, Zelda, Megaman, Metroid, Castlevania, Zork, Myst, etc.
* Any JRPGs, or really anything Japanese at all. No Final Fantasy or anything like that.
* Many (or any?) modern / cover-base shooters. No Call of Duty, etc.
* Minecraft
* Dwarf Fortress
* Heroes of Might and Magic series (despite being a huge fan of Dark Messiah)
* Any Assassin's Creed game
* Any Command and Conquer apart from the demo of the original (which I liked at the time, but somehow never got the full version or any of the sequels, became a Warcraft/Starcraft fan instead.)
* Any Diablo game
* The original DOTA, despite playing custom maps for WC3 back in the day, and despite playing far too much League of Legends later.
I also agree with Malf that some of that is from being European, where there was no Nintendo. I do have fond memories of some of the more "unusual" stuff that he mentioned, such as Bloodwych (which was slightly before my time, I didn't play it that much myself, but my brother did, and he even made hand-drawn maps of all the levels.)

MMOs and MOBAs (also still don't know what MOBA stands for)
Henke, "MOBA" stands for "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena"... for some reason. (It sounds like a bacronym.)
So now you know!

Haven't played Team Fortress or Left 4 Dead or Counterstrike or Overwatch or LoL or any other team based/multiplayer only games since Quake 3. There aren't really many people my age that play games around here (especially competitive ones) and playing with random strangers over the internet is not really my idea of fun.
You could try playing those kinds of games with people from TTLG. I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but there used to be TTLG Kru in Europe playing a lot of those games. I've played all of those apart from Overwatch with TTLG people at some point or another .

Good topic for a thread :).
Never played:
* Alien Isolation
* GTA 5
* Spore
* Any of the Batman games (of the current series of Batman games)
* Any of the Ultima games prior to Ultima 8 (not counting the Underworld games)
* Quake 3 and the games after that
* Any Zelda game after Ocarina of Time. Good game, but I prefer them top down.
* Any Mario game after Mario 64.
* Any Resident Evil game after 4. If it's more action than survival horror and there is no T-Virus or Zombies, then that's not Resident Evil to me.
* Never played any of the Mortal Kombat's after 3.
* Never played any of the Hitman games.
* Never played any of the Halo games that didn't get a PC port. Being a Sony fanboy didn't help :p.
And there is zillions more, but those are the ones that spring to mind.
