Videogame Canon: Sega Genesis

Definition of "canon" from Wikipedia:

[ QUOTE ]
The Western canon is a canon of books, music and art (and specifically one with very loose boundaries) that is thought by many to have been highly influential in shaping Western culture. It is a list of the greatest works with significant literary and artistic merit. The selection of a canon is important to the theory of educational perennialism and the development of high culture.

As you can see, this narrows the field down a bit. Games like Sonic 2 or WWF games do not make the cut. Only highly original, influential, and truly great games are "canon".
