1001 Video games You must Play Before You Die is a 2010 book published by Octopus Books containing a list of 1001 Video Games that the contributing authors believe should be played by everyone at least once.
How many have you played?

I've never seen this book.  I have 900 games in my collection.  I wonder how many of those are on this list!  LOL

[TL]

You might want to actually link the quiz.

I started doing it a couple of weeks ago but got bored and gave up. 

[zapiy]

Done lol..

I just about made it through.

[TrekMD]

Do clones count?

A strange list: some games were never released in the UK, others were only released here in the name they list.

I scored 906. I'm not going to try and hunt down the 95 I haven't played - I expect I'll die without having done so...

[TL]

I got 408 but that is an utterly retarded list.

No Donkey Kong, Missile Command, Dig Dug, Defender, Commando, Space Harrier, After Burner, any Streets Of Rage Game, Metal Slug, King Of Fighters . . . . .    I could go on and on!

[zapiy]

Lol but...

Dig Dug is number 38
Space Harrier 125
Commando 88
Donkey Kong 24

And so on..

[TL]

Lol but...

Dig Dug is number 38
Space Harrier 125
Commando 88
Donkey Kong 24

And so on..

Ok fair enough, I was trying to do it from memory and failed! 

All the following games ARE missing though and are stone cold classics, to miss them off any list is just absurd:

Any Streets Of Rage
Panzer Dragon 1 & 2
Toe Jam & Earl
Berzerk
Xenon 1 & 2
Zool 1 & 2
STUN Runner
Winter Games
Ghostbusters
After Burner
Galaxy Force
Rescue On Fractalus
Dragon's Fury
Pinball Fantasies
Sensible Soccer
Pitfall 1 & 2
Thunderforce 1-5
Fatal Fury
Pole Position
Star Raiders 1 & 2

I could go on . . . .

[zapiy]

Yeah there are some that we see as certs to be on there but that list could be huge..

[Bobinator]

Counting some clones for the older games like Breakout... and only games that I've put a reasonable amount of time into... 323. I have to say, though, they've got some REALLY weird criteria on this list. Do they just let anybody add anything to this list?

Why, yes, Buzz Quiz TV is a game that everybody should play before they die.

SAID NOBODY EVER.

 Â  When I started to see the titles, I just stopped and didn't bother.
