Super Mario Bros is under rated. It revolutionized platformers and revitalized the video game industry and yet everyone rates it so poorly.
Dont get me started on the Legend of Zelda for the NES
I dont get why everyone hates it. I personally think its a good game.

Same reason some folks like to trash McDonald's: Popularity can make something a target. On top of that, younger gamers will be looking at these games compared to newer games which learned from them. When the NES came out, all most of us who were around back then had seen before were things like PONG or Atari games. The NES was revolutionary.
Have you ever done the swordless challenge for The Legend of Zelda? You play through the original game without ever picking up the sword. You can play through the entire game that way, up to Ganon, though you cannot defeat him. It's an interesting and tough take on an old classic.

I didn't much like Warcraft 3. I think it placed too much emphasis on the "hero" characters, although that emphasis led to the creation of a new game genre as some modder or another got the notion to simply remove the remainder of the armies and let the hero characters duke it out.
