The original The Legend of Zelda was released as a launch title for Nintendo’s third major home console, the Famicom Disk System (FDS) in Japan on February 21, 1986; it was later released for its North American equivalent NES on November 21 that year.

Dynasty Warriors

Dynasty Warriors is a hack and slash video game series set in Ancient China and developed by Koei Tecmo. The series originally started as a side-scrolling action title on the PlayStation, but has since grown into much more.

Dynasty Warriors features hundreds of playable characters, each with their own moveset and abilities that help to distinguish them from one another. Though it may seem like there are too many options to choose from at first, you’ll soon find that there are several characters that fit your playstyle perfectly!

Mass Effect

The Mass Effect series is a science fiction action role-playing third-person shooter video game series developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The first three games in the series were released between 2007 and 2012; they are available on Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U. A prequel trilogy was released between 2014 and 2017; it comprises Mass Effect: Andromeda (which released as part of the franchise), along with its single-player downloadable content pack titled “Mass Effect 3: Declassified”, which takes place four years prior to Mass Effect 2.[1]

The first game of the franchise was released on November 20th 2007 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It has since been re-released in several forms: as part of two compilation releases (Mass Effect Collection[2] on October 14th 2013[3] and Mass Effect Trilogy[4] on November 5th 2013); as well as separately packaged through application stores such as Origin,[5][6][7] Steam,[8][9][10], GOG Galaxy[11] with additional downloadable content packs being made available for purchase via these channels.[12][13][14] On March 15th 2013, BioWare announced that all future DLC will be free for anyone who owns either the original release or one of its rereleases.[15][16].

Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid is a stealth-based action video game series created by Konami. The first game in the series was released in 1998 for the PlayStation and has since spawned several sequels, prequels and spin-offs.

The series follows the adventures of Solid Snake as he fights terrorism on behalf of an anti-government organization known as Foxhound. The storyline is full of twists and turns with plenty of action sequences thrown in there too (like every good spy movie). The games are set in a fictional universe that mixes reality with fiction (think Blade Runner).

Mario

Mario is a series of platform video games created by Nintendo and starring their mascot, Mario. The main protagonist of the franchise, Mario has appeared in over 200 video games since his creation. He is known for his trademark jumping ability and overall speed.

Mario is the most famous video game character in the world, having appeared on more than 200 different titles for several platforms since his debut as Jumpman (later named Mario) in Donkey Kong in 1981. Since then he has become one of gaming’s most recognizable characters and was once considered “one of the greatest icons in popular culture” by Guinness World Records; Yoshiaki Koizumi considered him an important cultural figure during his development work on Super Mario Galaxy 2 due to this popularity. In 2010, Mario was included as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People In The World alongside other prominent figures such as Barack Obama and Lady Gaga
