Hey, I actually have "played all the classics" for some definition of the term.

Some time ago I started playing all the games that to me felt worthwhile to play in roughly chronological order.

I think the project is overall quite different than "reading all the classics" though - a lot of old games have aged pretty poorly so I can either skip them or abandon after giving them a fair shot.

I'm currently roughly in the 2000-2010 era of games. (It's not pure chronological, because I tend to sort play order by console, then by series, then by year.)
