What 10 games would you show to someone who had never played video games before?

This to me is actually a hard question. Mainly because my way of think is what do they like already. In other words if they like horror Movies I would show them the Resident Evil 2 remake, or RE7, maybe Dead Rising 4 for those who like Shaun of the Dead. I'd show a fan of Alien, Metroid. Daytona USA to a stock-car racing fan. Marvel's Spider-man, Batman Arkham Asylum, and inFAMOUS to a comics fan. You get the idea.
There's only one exception I can really think of and that is Wii Sports/Resort- I know this seems weird at first but think about it. How many people had have had family members who had no intrest in games decide to try this game? The games are simple and yet they can bring out a competitive edge in some.

something simple to play, this question is too hard for me, But maybe an Atari 2600 game? It's hard to say.
there was this cool fly smashing game with blood I used to play as a kid it was like wack'a'mole with flies for the windows PC lol
marvelvscapcom2:
1. Minecraft. (Limitless, Endless, easy to pick up and play. Self explanatory. Adaptable. Its one game I think literally anyone can play)
2. Tetris. (Same reasons above. Its just accessible. Addictive. Simple but ascending in difficulty. Its great)
3. Super Mario World (The greatest video game of all time. A game as timeless as it is beautiful. A true legend. In animation, style and gameplay. Visuals. Soundtrack. Its a gaming must)
4. GTA 5. - (Open world. Truly massive in scope. Fun and enduring.)
5. The Last of Us - ( Cinematic masterpiece. Plot wise one of the greats.)
6. Street Fighter 2 Ultra - (Simple yet iconic. Less to figure out than some fighters. Very easy to pick up but hard to master.
7. BOTW - (Gorgeous World, wonderful crafting elements. Sinple for a begginer but hard to perfect. )
8. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - (Mario Kart)
9. Super Mario 64 - (Everything an open world platformer inspires to be. So iconic and fun)
10. The walking dead telltale series (Shows how powerful plot can be in games. Very easy to play for anyone. Great transition from movies to game. )

My dad, a generally gruff mechanic with no game experience outside of Legend of Zelda on NES, is addicted to Angry Birds 2. ;D
As for the question, the #1 video game for people who have never played games is an easy choice: Bust-A-Move, aka Puzzle Bobble. Over the years I've brought my Neo Geo setup to various parties, and Bust-A-Move is always a hit with everyone.
