the first game is hardly ever referenced or talked about or praised . Or people who want to get into the series often skip the first game.

Persona
Mario
Castlevania
Metroid

The latter three are very novel and worth knowing about, but I contend very few people who claim to like Mario/Castlevania/Metroid as a series have played those first entries start to finish.

Not too many seem to know that Wolfenstein started on the Apple II way back in 1981.

Elder Scrolls for sure. Fallout is iffy. Many consider the first game a cult classic but I imagine most casual gamers haven't even touched the first one

1 is bad and the series actually started with 2.

GTA2 is pretty fucking great honestly but yeah nobody cares about the first one. Anyone who is stuck on the classic GTA nostalgia is playing 2.

1, 2, and 3 are all frequently talked about. People may talk about 2 more but that's irrelevant.

Why are so many people saying Silent Hill? SH fans constantly praise 1-3. It's any game after 3 that hardly gets any talk.

usually the only time the first Witcher game is talked about is when people say to skip it and go straight for 3, which is a shame, because all 3 games are well-written, and fun in their own ways.

Eh I thought Witcher 2 was painfully generic

Mario Bros isn't the first game in the series. That would be Donkey Kong.

No. There wasn't a game called Jumpman (okay there was but it has nothing to do with Nintendo). Donkey Kong's protagonist was named Jumpman and that would later be changed to Mario.

Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong 3, and Wrecking Crew are essentially all the same series "classic Mario"

There wouldn't be another game in that series until the game boy Donkey Kong & the last one being Mario vs Donkey Kong on the GBA.

Revelations: Persona is very skippable and not as good as the immediate sequels or even the more modern games from the series.
