You're not a gamer unless you...
You're not a gamer unless you've played Myst.
1993's first-person puzzle-adventure Myst was made with HyperCard, a slideshow application that made the entire game pre-rendered, but visually stunning by the standards of the day. Myst's combination of unique puzzles, stunning locales, and compelling narrative make it (and the following four sequels [let's forget Uru]) one of the finest games ever made.
So what super-pretentious gaming delusions do you guys have? What does someone have to have done for you to consider them - if not just a gamer - a venerable master of our beloved hobby?
Edit: obviously I didn't make myself clear with my original post, so let me point out [i]VERY CLEARLY[/i]:
The series started a downward trend with game number 3, Exile, and number 5 (End of Ages) wasn't very good in general. Still better than Uru, of course.

Edited by SirBigWater: 7/4/2016 6:40:04 AMDamn, I guess I am not a gamer. Thanks for telling me who I am. I thought that the almost two decades of gaming was enough for the title of gamer. [spoiler]if your post is satire, then so is this comment[/spoiler] [spoiler]DOOM/Quake 2/3 would have to be the "true" gamer experience for me, at least for fps games. [/spoiler]

Played it, couldn't figure out a lot of stuff. But I was so intrigued by the lore, I read the books.
