The problem with an iconic series is that there's too many stellar games to choose from lol
Seriously, with Final Fantasy I could probably talk myself into Final Fantasy (OG), Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Tactics, and honestly just because I played it with my first childhood girlfriend and so everything felt amazing at the time, I loved Final Fantasy X as well (though the cutscenes were still cringe-inducing).
Seriously, Mario? After going a while without playing it I'll still get goosebumps when the original Super Mario Bros starts up, as it's one of my earliest memories of games. The two direct sequels were amazing... World is stellar, 64 blew my mind... dude, they're all incredible, how am I supposed to pick?
Zelda? Forget it, ain't even gonna try.
I suppose from there it gets easier.
Sonic: Sonic III (Not sure why most go with II, as III was basically just II with more features)
GTA: While III and Vice City were incredible for me, I think it's pretty clear that V is the best one yet
Resident Evil: My buddy and I played RE 4 to death on the gamecube.
