Regardless of where you live, you’ve most likely been drawn to the American launches or ultra-famous games that get released every few years, but there are still plenty of classics people miss out on.
It’s easy to get lost in the fast-paced world of gaming, where cutting-edge technology fights against each other in the newest release or games consoles are being launched left right, and center – however, it’s time to get back to basics.
Some games out there have proved that they have true staying power, and by this, we mean that there are some OG’s that are just not going anywhere.

Mixing nostalgia with unmatched entertainment, get ready to enjoy a hearty blast from the past.
- Chess
Stick with us for this one, we know it’s not loved by the younger generations but it truly is a golden oldie. By oldie, we really mean it – the game of chess can be traced back by 1,500 years, proving that its longstanding status is a match for nobody. Available in physical and online form, the game requires plenty of strategy, skill, and….patience.
Patience is probably the reason that younger generations aren’t partial to an after-work gaming session, however with the right understanding it can be a fun-filled affair. The game has simple rules, with great complexity, making it a challenge even for the elders. You can play across the world and make new friends or from the comfort of your living room with family. It brushes up your attention span and helps with your brain function ability, therefore we are obsessed with this classic game that made a huge name for itself.
- Online Slots
Online slots have become one of the most popular forms of digital entertainment, evolving far beyond their mechanical predecessors. Born in the era of the chess board, the casino is packed with thousands of games and unmeasurable amounts of fun. The majority of people today choose playing online slots Canada over the real deal and we can see why. Online casinos have packed slot games with high levels of personalization, thousands of game varieties, and great amounts of bonuses/wins, meaning that there is a larger opportunity than heading to the actual thing.
You can play wherever you want, whenever you want, which is what makes online slots gambling so fun. The convenience of playing at home mixed with personalization and rewards is the reason this is a classic form of entertainment that is going absolutely nowhere.
What’s more, game developers constantly release new slot titles with cutting-edge graphics, unique features, and creative bonus rounds. Such constant evolutions around the game keep the experience fresh and exciting for players.
- Monopoly
Ah, another classic that’s turned virtual – and we just can’t get enough. Monopoly is loved by households across the world, but online monopoly is another story. It is a staple for European households and comes out every Christmas for gatherings with generational families.
It mixes strategy, negotiation, and luck, which is why it’s the perfect blend for most game nights anywhere. You can buy, trade, and understand the financial aspects of business during a game of Monopoly, and it’s now available online on PC, tablets, and mobile. The digital versions bring new themes and faster gameplay, leveling it up from the classic completely.
4. Tetris
Available on both console and mobile, Tetris is another goldie that is the ultimate puzzle game. It’s super simple and can be played by absolutely anyone, but has extremely addictive mechanics.
All players have to do is rotate and place falling blocks to complete lines and clear the screen – and it gets harder as you go up in the game. Born in the 1980s, every 90s kid can remember growing up to this infamously classic game. It has been adapted in many ways, but this is one of the only games that has stayed true to itself and not changed one bit (besides the updated graphics and clearer screen that is).
- Pac-Man
Arcade, console, PC, if you can play on it – then Pac-Man has been there. This iconic game originated in the 1980s and is a symbol of true game engineering. You navigate through a maze as Pac-Man, whilst eating little pellets and avoiding ghosts. Sounds crazy, but it is one of the most popular games of its time, and its concept is truly endearing. For the last few years, Pac-Man has been available on various platforms – including consoles and mobile devices, with new levels and challenges that keep the gameplay fresh.
