Six games that still hold up, from Galaxian in 1979 to Metroid: Samus Returns in 2017

  1. Galaxian 1979

    Turned 47 this year Arcade

  2. Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force 2000

    Turned 26 this year

    Ensign Alex Munro of the Hazard Team, Voyager's elite security section, is sent onto a Borg Cube and derelict ships while Voyager is trapped in a starship graveyard, in a shooter set during the sixth season of the series.

  3. Need for Speed: Shift 2009

    Turned 17 this year PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

    Need for Speed turns from arcade to simulation, with no story and a career that starts with two laps at Brands Hatch to grade your driving, and a cockpit where the driver's head moves with every gear change.

  4. Undertale 2015

    Turned 11 this year

    A child falls into the Underground, a realm of monsters, where an attack means steering a small heart through bullets. Any monster can be spared instead of killed, and the game remembers who you spared across reloads and new playthroughs.

  5. Persona 5 2016

    Turned 10 this year PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4

    A school year in Tokyo, divided between classes, the Confidants you get to know and the Palaces, one per villain, that the Phantom Thieves break into. Days, dungeons and people fall into a rhythm, set to an acid jazz score.
