It was popular for many years after its 1997 release (especially because of its multiplayer), and was played by a wide range of ages -- thus covering a huge portion of the Millennial base.
Even many girls played it given how popular it was with their brothers, male friends, etc. |

|
Date: April 22nd, 2025 5:31 PM Author: black passionate box office For some reason the older people get, the more they forget that 7 year olds can play video games to completion... 9 year olds can beat Earthbound... 12 year olds can play guitar... and 10 year olds can play Fake Guitar. Gamefaqs posters and redditors who suck at video games think you need to be like 18 to finish Super Mario RPG or something.
Anyway iirc zoomers start in '97 but these demarcation points are made-up. The millennial starting point needs to be early enough to cover Klebold and Harris. Gen X didn't do school shootings. |

Date: April 22nd, 2025 8:40 PM Author: iridescent aphrodisiac marketing idea friendly grandma Goldeneye is the clear winner. If it is going to define the generation, it has to be played in groups.
Halo might be the answer for younger people, but i think for anyone who played both, Goldeneye has the fonder memories.
Mario Kart is not it. It has staying power because its like 20 differenet games and a good hang, but it isn't teh winner.
OOT - this is the winner for solo game that millenials have the most reverence of, but it wasn't really a part of school culture like Goldeneye. If you played it with friends you were torturing them. |

I never once in my life saw anyone play OOT. I've only heard about it online.
If you didn't own a 64, you never were involved with OOT. Goldeneye was different and was a staple of any sleepover. |

Date: April 23rd, 2025 3:57 PM Author: appetizing unhinged parlour ape I pulled up the Wikipedia page for best-selling games of all time. Here are the top-selling games for the millennial gaming era:
Pokémon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow 47,520,000 World of Warcraft: 40,600,000 The Sims 40,000,000 Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal 30,120,000
No other games in this discussion made the list.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games
I would argue that WoW doesn't apply because it wasn't even released until 2004 and most of those sales occurred long after the millennial era. But if you define "quintessential" based on popularity, I think either Pokémon or The Sims is objectively the correct answer. Neither title was a favorite of hardcore gamers, but among casuals, they were the most popular titles by a mile. |

Date: April 24th, 2025 10:17 PM Author: appetizing unhinged parlour ape Yeah, I was pretty surprised that Bejeweled was first released in 2001. I always thought of it as purely a mobile game. Apparently it started as a browser game, and it was popular enough that they eventually created a downloadable version. But it didn't really blow up until it became available as a mobile app. So I don't think it qualifies for the present discussion.
