Classic Computer Games ?

" For something to be considered a classic it has to have some element to it that is timeless, that appeals decades, centuries or even in some cases millennia later. Despite changes in language and society something about these works appeals to people regardless of how long ago they were created. The same cannot be said of computer games, much as I love Zelda: Ocarina of Time I seriously doubt that a thousand years from now people will still be playing it (partly because of that damned water temple level) while I suspect Homer’s The Odyssey will still be forced onto bored students till the end of time itself.
