C'mon nobody else put Pong? That game started it all!

My five would be:

1. Pong: Obviously.
2. Legend of Zelda:Really took gaming to the next level as far as public conciousness. Every adventure game that followed owes something to LoZ.
3. Wii Sports:People that I never thought would pick up a controller and play a video game have played this game.
4. Everquest Online: Predecessor to WoW and the first real online MMO that I can remember.
5. Wolfenstein: Started it all for shooters as far as I am concerned.

Dune 2 (father of all modern day rts's)

Pitfall (years before mario and one of the original platform games)

Ultima Online (I think it was the original MMORPG)

Doom (wasn't the first, but introduced 3D environments and you could look all around, but had 2d sprites)

Pong (first commercial video game)

Super Mario Bros

Super Mario 64

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Final Fantasy VII

Halo

halo

gears of war

Fallout 1 : Introduced truely RPG experience.

GTA III: The jump from 2D to 3D was a huge triumph for Sand Boxes.

Starcraft: Brood Wars: Introduced personalities to RTS.

Final Fantasy 7: It really is really the game that everyone associates when they hear the acronym "JRPG".

Half-Life = The first truly immersive FPS experience I ever played, and I think most scripted FPSs used a lot from that model.

also xbox live changed gaming for ever. thank you so much ms for forcing old fashioned sony and nintendo tomake games with online modes.

halo. started online gaming on consoles gears of war. cover system, curb stomp, bad ass forza. custom car, great online for a boring genra left 4 dead . gets the team together great Al never the same crack down. open the door for non gta sandbox games like imfamous and prototype and many more. now what kid?monson21502

Dreamcast had online on consoles before Halo was even conceived.

Gears of War: Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell had cover systems I think..

Forza: You could customize in NFS Underground if I remember correctly..

Left 4 Dead: Good game, but there have been many team based shooters before.

Crackdown: Idk what that even is LOL

Now what kid?

My five would be:

1. Pong: Obviously.
2. Legend of Zelda:Really took gaming to the next level as far as public conciousness. Every adventure game that followed owes something to LoZ.
3. Wii Sports:People that I never thought would pick up a controller and play a video game have played this game.

T_0_D

The Legend of Zelda

Street Fighter 2

Resident Evil

Grand Theft Auto 3

Kill.Switch/Gears of War

Prince of Persia (truly unique) tho it's combat system don't compare to NG and DMC3

Wolfenstein/Metal Gear

I forgot to mention Wing Commander, that game brought the cinematic experience to video games and it was an ok space shooter to boot.

Super Mario 64/ Ocarina of Time (Control in a 3d environment)
Goldeneye (Console Shooter)
Legend of Zelda NES (No linear path, Open Exploration)
Wii Sports (Casual Gaming, Motion Controls)
Street Fighter II (The core formula for fighting games).

1. Super Mario Bros-Changed the way games looked and played forever.

2. Final Fantasy VII- Same as above, Was the first game that made a game feel and look more cinematic. First game that felt like it was more then a game.

3. Half Life 2 saga. Perfected what Final Fantasy VII did and made it into a seamless real time experince.

4. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time- One of the most rich and deep experince ever to see the light of day on a console.

5. TES III Morrowind- Took the idea of what a RPG is supposed to be and throws you into one of the largest and indepth worlds ever created.

1. Super Mario Bros: Has directly influenced hundreds upon hundreds of games. Possibly thousands.

2. Ultima Underworld: Every 3D RPG and FPS can trace its roots back to this game.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Every adventure game afterward had to have looked to LoZ for inspiration.

4. Ultima Online: The first MMO, 'nuff said.

5. Grand Theft Auto 3: Has spawned 3 sequels that have each sold gangbusters. Also, many sandbox games may not exist.

Super Mario 64
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Doom
Halo
Final Fantasy VII

Someone said Wii Sports, which is a good one too.

EDIT: yay GlitchSpot!

Super Mario 64

Legend of Zelda: OoT

Final Fantasy VII

Halo 2

Grand Theft Auto

Super Mario 64
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Doom
Halo
Final Fantasy VII

Someone said Wii Sports, which is a good one too.

1)-MGS1 2)Shadow of the collosus 3) Halo ( online wise) 4)-MGS3 5) -Little big planetSolid_Tango

PC games had superior online long before Halo was even created. (CounterStrike)

SoTC didn't really cause anything groundbreaking IMO. It was a good game, but it definitely started getting repetitive towards the end.

LBP: level editor thing was cool. I love Sackboy :P

What did Wii Sports even do?

nintendoboy16

It started this whole casual movement, which has been a big shift in the gaming industry during the past few years. It also oversold Super Mario Bros. 1, which used to be the highest selling game of all time.

For some reason, a lot of people are saying Goldeneye as their only fps.

That's a dodgy pick.

1. Pong

2. Wolfenstein 3D

3. Mario 64

4. MGS 1

5. Gran Turismo

Tetris is a good one I think..

Also Diablo I and Warcraft I started Battle.net..that was a big breakthrough for online gaming.

mrs packman

wonderboy in monsterland

super mario 3

ocarina of time

final fantasy 7

Super Mario Bros.

Tetris

Wolfenstein 3D

Legend of Zelda

Pepsiman :D

Here's some (five isn't enough):

Doom (The FPS)

Super Mario Bros. (Duh)

Super Mario 64 (A "how-to" on 3D gaming)

Ultima Online (1st MMO)

Quake (Other online stuff)

Goldeneye (FPS on a console? RIDICULOUS!)

Final Fantasy VII (Every JRPG to come after owes it a measure of success)

Half-Life (Changed FPS forver)

StarCraft (Arguably the best RTS ever made)

The Legend of Zelda

Pong

Pac Man

Don't know about general gaming, but 5 games that changed me as a gamer include:

-Shadow of the Colossus (Nothing needs to be said for this game. I can't start describing it and I'm sure you all know about the game. If not, shame on you)

-Grand Theft Auto 3 (Entered the next generation with the PS2 and was overwhelmed with the world of GTA. Being a fan of GTA 1 and seeing the game go where it went was beautiful)

-Halo Combat Evolved (First major online game I played-- ridiculously addictive and competitive. Oh yeah, and the game was just AWESOME)

-Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (First online console game, was/am addicted with it)

-Dark Cloud 2 (Awe-inspiring use of music and artistic scenery. Like a mature fairy tale come to life)

I would say 5 games that changed gaming were

Super Mario 64

Super Mario Bros

Street Fighter 2

The Legend of Zelda

Goldeneye
