The Ten Most Important Games of all time

[quote name='dwhelan']I guess if you want to get technical, Hunt the Wumpus was the first dungeon crawler, atleast that I know of.[/quote]

Not sure, but you might be referring to Tunnels of Doom for TI 99 4a.

Also, isn't Starcraft a more influentual game then say Warcraft? I understand the whole WOW following, and the insane addiction it causes, up to and including death, but its a competely different game then the first warcraft. Not seeing how Civ is on there; that would be my only argument -- Street Fighter 2/Mortal Kombat -or- GTA should at least get some attention. Both games captivated audiences and not only brought in massive amounts of money, but spawned many clones.
 
[quote name='furyk']Yes. All other soccer games before it were either nonsensical or slightly whimsical. It was a huge step forward in gaming.[/quote]

For whom?
 
Most important of all time? I guess these genres had to start somewhere, but I think the first great RTS would be more important than simply the first in the genre.
 
Its a good beginning list. I'm sure they will add to it as time goes by. Space Invaders should be on the next wave of videogames to be added to that list.
 
I agree with that Wolf3D should be in over Doom. I guess their thinking is this: Doom is more important and influential than Wolf3D because Wolf influenced Doom, but Doom influenced every other FPS that came after it.
