Super Mario has high-quality games from its inception to the present.

I was gonna say this sounds like a terrible idea in general, but if anything Fire Emblem is probably THE one. Just make sure to play 9 before 10 is probably the one hiccup.

Mega Man Classic could work for this.
Just have to get use to the idea of not having slide and charge shot as you reach the early games. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens Kashikoi Kawaii BK_Sheikah won guru! Harasho! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Do people have any reasons for ones they're posting other than "start with the bad ones and work your way up to the better ones"? That seems to be the implication for most of these.

Certainly isn't the implication for Fire Emblem! Or Final Fantasy for that matter.
I think it's more "they're not story-connected, so start with the more polished ones and work your way to the ones which are clunkier but are easier to get into if you already understand some of the conventions which span the series". --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion ...

Not at all my implication. I was suggesting series that were good from start to present and did not have modern design conveniences that made the earlier games a chore to get through. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg ...

For Hitman, I like the idea that they basically get more and more hardcore as the series goes on in reverse (with the exception of Hitman 2016 to Absolution).

adventure island?
the basic gameplay and physics don't change too much, and by playing them backwards you would be getting the easier/outlier games out of the way first until you get to the first game which is one of the hardest nes games and designed with the intention of killing you from some sort of brain shattering rage aneurysm. though the second game seems a lot easier than the third. --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.

Metal Gear might actually work this way.
Half the series is prequels anyway, so the plot is already built around the "mess with the details behind events you already know" idea. Reversing the play order just switches which events we know about first, and which are additional background. So instead of "Oh, It would fall apart a bit when you got back to the MSX though, because not only would you be very familiar with the first game's fairly simple plot and single twist, --- The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil ...

Certainly isn't the implication for Fire Emblem! Or Final Fantasy for that matter. This is definitely the reasoning for Fire Emblem. Except that 9 and 10 are story connected and should be played in proper order. 6 and 7 are also story connected but can be played in either order since 7 is actually a prequel to 6 anyway. --- darkx ...

NeoElfboy posted...Certainly isn't the implication for Fire Emblem! Or Final Fantasy for that matter. I rather suspect most English-speakers played 7 before 6 anyway! You're right about 9 and 10 of course. New Mystery and Shadow Dragon as well I suppose, though as games with weaker narratives, less is lost. I do know some people who played 10 before 9 and they certainly still like the games, though I think Ike suffers a lot that way (mostly because RD Ike is IMO a bad character, so if he's the one you see first, it probably sours you on him in PoR as well). --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion ...
