For me it's Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.

Skyrim, actually. It's quite dated by today's standards, but just recently I started another playthrough on a whim and ended up playing 20h or so even though I've played the game a bunch of times for several hundreds of hours throughout the years already.

    Will be interesting to see if TES6 will replace Skyrim as the sort of mainstream culturally relevant icon of gaming.

    After all Morrowind and Oblivion were both massively popular cornerstones of gaming in their own right in their time, but Skyrim has definitely overtaken them as fas as mainstream recognition goes.

    Oblivion was good, but even at the time of the release the graphics, especially faces, are potato. Skyrim is probably peak graphics at release, and still beautiful even now. Gameplay is a little dumbed down, but still enjoyable for both casual and hardcore gamers. Combine that with active modding scene and continuous support from Bethesda, Skyrim ages longer than any game has right to be.
