And, what you are looking for is unobtainable -- somehow you think that you are going to come up with a list of 25 CLASSICS (translated in full Xiaou2) that it definitive.
It is foolish to even try -- first, there aren't just 25 classics. Gozer had trouble coming up with a list of 50 and he and his crew have far more knowledge than most here.
You can tell me that Centipede is not a classic, but you don't exactly have an abundance of credibility with which to back that statement. Particularly since virtually every assembled list of classics includes Centipede. I don't like Centipede and am really bad at it. Neither fact changes the fact that it is a classic for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that promo poster.
At the end of the day, people like the games that they like.
I happen to love early Atari games -- most of which I never actually had an opportunity to play in the arcade, which is in complete violation of your "it's just nostalgia" theory.
Let it go and play some StreetFighterEleventyPurpleTeletubbyEdition.
;)

nope, I am just interested in seeing what shakes out. Just want people to copy, paste, add and delete. All i am asking for is some group think to come up with a list. Shouldn't be that hard to copy, paste, add delete....

MAME games only. Once we get to 25 , we'll have a fairly consensus top 25 games for your mame Cab. My initial list is for games that use joys/spinners/trackball, so no driving games or light gun games for simplicity sake.
Now when someone says "such and such is NOT a classic" I can pull out this list and call ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.

This should be good. Might as well add favorite foods and best brand of underpants mixed right in with the games in the list for all the good its going to do. :lol
DaveMMR:
Why not do what VH1 did with their Top 100 [X] of All Time series? Have everyone list top 25 in order, assign a score based a rank, tally and deliver the results. Especially considering my definitive list includes gems like "I'm Sorry" and "Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters".
