This is hardcore. Or so everyone says. But what is "hardcore?" To us gamers, it means the kind of game that serious gamers devote their time to. You know, hundreds of hours of time. The kind of game that kept Granny away from gaming until Wii came along. It's about depth - of learning and understanding a game before truly mastering it. Hardcore games present the greatest (and often longest) challenges, yet also the biggest payoffs, assuming you understand how they work.

Of course, Retrobot loves hardcore games. Anything else clogs up his sub-processors, meaning bad experiences for us when we have to change his cartridges. And in case you are new to the delights of hardcore gaming, Retrobot's compiled a list of ten "real" videogames that every true gamer should know inside out. Remember - Retrobot doesn't only love old games - just games with old-school values at their cores. Retrobot, take it away...

Above: A Genesis for a heart and SNES for brains, Retrobot loves his hardcore games
