Timeless games that still hold up today?

Personally, I think some older versions are better than the new. I prefer 2600's original Space Invaders to the actual arcade game. See the thing is that some early versions of games, although technically inferior are still eminently playable. I have Space Invaders Extreme 2 on the DS and although a good game, still isn't as good as the 2600 version IMO.
There are arcade perfect ports of Centipede and Millipede but I'll still play the 2600 versions because they're fun. Dare I say "timeless"? But that's my opinion as it's not exactly "modernish" and it's clear to me that it can't be timeless unless it's the best version out there.

Glad I got rid of that old VHS tape of the original theatrical cut of Star Wars A New Hope and kept the newest George Lucas directors cut because Greedo shooting first is so much better. I mean it must be right? It's the newest version and by definition - newest is superior. Glad I stumbled onto that fantastic logic today. I can throw out all those old classic rock records too because One Direction is the latest and greatest.

As someone who really doesn't go much older than the NES (which can even be a bit too archaic for me at times) I can appreciate those older generations and there are some games on the 2600 I've played that I thoroughly enjoy. Hell if I remember their names but I played a space shooter at a friend's house that was done from the cockpit perspective with some REALLY early 3D stuff that had I been a youngster back in 1982 with Star Wars being just out, if I would've had that game BACK THEN I probably would've shit my pants, changed my pants and shit them again. And hell it still played great when I popped it in in 2014. To me that's timeless. Atari had shit games that don't hold up, sure, but so did [insert every console ever]
