There's a /v recommended games wiki which could be a good place to start. Another method would be just to look at the highest rated games for whatever consoles you like. Or just download a full ROM set for a console and pick games at random.

What genres do you like? That is also a good starting point.

You're gonna have to be more specific, anon. How far back in time are you willing to travel; have you got a controller? We can also provide some 80s music, for full immersion. Let's start with Space Megaforce for the SNES. You like shmups, don't you?

I will go as far back as the stone age anon

Start with Capcom and Konami games for the NES.

That's pretty much how an entire generation started.

HG101's articles are crap sometimes, but the site features a wide array of /vr/ info. Start with the Profiles section which covers general subject matter, then look at the Series section to read about long-running franchises. After that, you can sort through reviews by Company or Genre. That ought to get you started. Looking at a Genre page will also show you a screenshot of all the games in question. Some companies to look out for: Tecmo, Koei, Compile, Irem, Midway, Taito, Namco.
