The Most Popular Games (According to Backloggd) That I Haven't Played From 1993 to 2023
Inspired by @tangysphere's fantastic original list, as well as the takes of many others.
At first was conflicted between maybe doing it from every year I've been alive or starting from a specific year like many other did, but ultimately, I decided for a middle ground and to go from 1993 to 2023, covering the last 30 years of videogame history and see what I might need to check out or what I missed. Plus, I'll be taking into account games I haven't even touched; those that I played but have yet to finish will not be accounted for, only brand new stuff for me will be here!
I’ll also go over if said game interests me and if I plan to play it, so let’s see!

1993
I have plans to play more of the Mega Man series in the future, and X is certainly one of the ones in the series I really want to try and beat, so yeah, this one will most likely happen!

1994
Yes, a thousand times YES. It's one of the FF games that REALLY catches my eye every time I see it, this alongside IX are the ones I want to play the most.

1995
Wow, I haven't played much from 95 huh? I even have this one on Steam, is yet another JRPG that seems fantastic and one I do plan on playing soon.

1996
As much as I love the series and I even played the remakes, the original R&B games are still terra ignota for me, hopefully they'll be added to the NSO soon and then I'll have no excuses to try them.

1997
Same goes for the entire Castlevania series, I have to get into these and I'm super excited to see them for myself, and SotN is no exception.

1998
Yeah, what the fuck, right? To be honest, this is here because I do have the 3DS remake, and I have played that one and I plan on finishing it, so for now I have no intent on playing the original soon unless I end up really loving its remake/remaster.

1999
Yeah, I'm a fraud... As much as I love the Smash series, 64 is still the only one I haven't played, and I want to at least give it a go whenever I get the chance.

As soon as I finish Ocarina, I plan on jumping to Majora, and it'll be this version no matter what. I know how the game goes and I basically grew up with gameplays on it, but I NEED to play it, I NEED to beat it, such a fascinating game...

I know I know, yet again, what the fuck, but hey, I have the trilogy, I have the game, I want to play it, and I WILL play it! Mark my words: I'LL PLAY EVERY DMC GAME, AND THAT'S A FACT, NO 2003 GAME IS GONNA STOP ME (Fun fact, DMC2 is the only game I've played of the series... I'm a disgrace...).

Meh, I'm far more interested in other GTA games, so for now, I'm good, but maybe I'll play it eventually ...

I mean, I do like The Simpsons, but that much to make this one a priority; seems like a fine enough GTA/Crazy Taxi parody, but not something I'm jumping at the opportunity of playing.

The fact I, as a living human being born in the 2000's, have not even attempted to play this would be sacrilege for some. I'ts the GTA I'm interested the most for sure, so who knows, maybe I'll play it eventually .

It's not a high priority of mine, but yeah, I do want to play it, years of memes and clips really have rotten my brain and made me yearn to try to play it for myself.

...Gues I'll eventually have to, won't I? The only thing that really catches my eye is the ambiens and visual style, aside from that... guess I'll see if it grabs me.

One day I want to make a list with all the GOTY winners and rank them, so only for that reason it's bound to happen... plus the game seems really cool, love me some fantasy from time to time.

Nope.
Oh, not because I don't want to, but because technically this game doesn't exist anymore! OW2 is more of a season 2 than a sequel I know, but still...

Yeah no I'm good, plus I think I've been spoiled of practically every possible surprise, so there's not much reason to play it in the first place.

I can never say no to living the living shit out of dragons!
One day I'll review every single GoW game, and when that day comes, I'll play this, until then, it's not a really high priority of mine.

I have to many games to play, some even 2019 games that I have yet to finish, to even consider sinking such amount of time into one game, but Persona as a series is one that interests me, so maybe one day...

dmc1 rules and will wash away any lingering long term effects that enduring dmc2 may've caused on your body or spirit. like a psychic baptism
@Weatherby Hey, let's give Pokémon Red some credit... at least it has some cool and funny glitches... and busted ass mechanichs... and piss-poor balanci- I think I'm not helping its case.
@curse It's good to know there's hope of healing for me, that I can be cured of the terrible effects that DMC2 has caused on me... it can't come soon enough...

we gotta save demon from playing persona and ddlc
@weatherby choosing to believe you singled out pokemon red because of how much better it is than the others
@moschidae I have no interest in DDLC so so far I'm good on there, and P5's length is a good enough reason to not play, it's not a compromise I can make right now especially with all the games I have yet to play XD
If you're going to try Smash 64 at some point, then might I recommend Smash Remix? It's an amazing mod that more then doubles the roster of the original and greatly expanding stage selections plus game modes while keeping the core the same, such as the existing characters and mechanics remaining untouched. https://www.ssbwiki.com/Smash_Remix
@AlphaOne2 I'll probably play the original unmodded game first, but I will look into Smash Remix for sure, I had never heard of it before and it seems insane, the changes in roster and mechanichs are amazing, I'm really excited to check it out now. Thank you so much for sharing this! :D
