I know I should not compare myself to other gamers but lately it feels though that I am somehow lagging behind everyone else. To be honest, I never played that many games other the Mario games, Secret of Mana 1 & 2, Final Fantasy VI, V, X and VII, Mother series, Mega Man Classic up to R&F, Mega man X up to 5, some movie games and other games that I cannot really think of right now but nevertheless I believe over the course of my life , I missed quite a few treasures especia;;y when I hear about games I never even heard of until today. Can anyone recommend me any classic RPGs, Platformers or any other treasures that I may have missed over the course of my lifetime?

Both ActRaisers.  But make sure you feel lucky before you start the second one, 'cuz it's hard as hell.

Oh, and also, it is an unforgivable sin among any self-respecting X-series fan to play X5 and not play Xtreme2 or X6 (assuming you're up to the challenge of X6).  Rectify that, lest ye face my magic fish. :P

Yeah, go play X6. Easily the most challenging of the X series up to that point, and my favorite game in the timeline. :D

+1 for the X6 love. I swear looking at my gaming likes, it seems that I have a fondness for dark horses most of the time. XD

Donkey Kong Country & Donkey Kong Country 2 are two of the greatest platformers ever.  EVER.

Donkey Kong Country 1 - 3 are some of the greatest platformers ever.  EVER.

Fixed and agreed. Also, don't get me started on 2's music....

FFFFFFF I'm now hearing Kannon's Klaim in my head. XD

Never played 3.  Just going on that.

Also, Road Runner's Death Valley Rally was fun as well.

Too bad Dr. Mario and Tetris don't count... D=
Both can be pretty awesome.
