We need to go deeper. I nominate Cave Story. Left 4 Dead 2. and Super Mario RPG lol

 

Maybe every 5th Thursday of a month (or whatever day these are posted) we can have a popular indy game rated.  I'd vote Axiom Verge.  As good as both of these games are, I doubt a wide number of us have played them.  I've never played Cave Story (though I've wanted to since I played the demo on the Wii) and I've also not played games like Super Meat Boy or Shovel Knight.  All of these are rather highly acclaimed and could be cool to rate and discuss.  I worry not enough of us have played them, though, for Reed's preferences, so that's why maybe doing one a quarter could be cool.

If Minecraft is the Granddaddy of Indie Games, then Cave Story is the Great Granddaddy and the true prognosticator of what can even be considered an "Indie Game".

Also the original Cave Story is 100% free, plays on absolutely everything and if you haven't played it for whatever reason then you need to go and do it now lol

My kids haven't discovered it yet, but I have a feeling they will soon.  Right now, my kids are obsessed with Minecraft and Roblox.  

Minecraft and Roblox are a bit creative, so I can understand their long-lasting staying power.  Fortnite, though... yeah, that fad can't have more than 1-2 years left.  Maybe you're kids will find it in that time frame, but I could see a younger generation just not being interested and looking at the "next new thing", whatever that might be.

You didn't do Final Fantasy II/IV yet? I don't really like RPGs, but that one was pretty awesome. There aren't enough beat em ups either when Double Dragon or Final Fight haven't come up yet.

I've put Double Dragon up as a candidate multiple times and it's lost every time
