What game feels 'timeless' to you?

For me it's Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.

Tetris. Straight original is so simple accessible and addictive. I really haven't cared for much else they done with it since. It was perfection also out the gate.
Also, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I can play it anytime, anyplace. The gameplay, music, graphics even today just feel so go for being 2D
- For Tetris, Game boy version or is there a different console you feel is definitive ?
  
  Gameboy Tetris is king.
  
  I had it on original Nintendo. But the Gameboy version is almost the same (to my knowledge) just without the color pallet.
  Also the story of Tetris and how it got lisenced is crazy. The new Tetris movie is a fun (albeit with Hollywood coat of paint) recount.
  
  They made a film about Tetris, that's bizarre.
  
  Yes, yes they did. It's actually a pretty fun watch.
  It deals with the licensing fiasco that occurred when the game released.
  Many companies saw the potential in the game's popularity and so an all out bidding war/competition for rights occurred between Soviet Government, Bulletproof, Holobyte, Mirrorsoft and most notably Nintendo.
  
  It's probably an interesting story, it's just funny what they bother making films about sometimes. Like that McDonald's film.
