I think some list should have shenmue in it due to the fact that it was the first "blockbuster budget" videogame.
Keeping in mind that these are "important" games, not necessarily the most popular or my personal favorites:
1) Pac Man : First example I can think of of a MAJOR commercial, merchandising, and cultural phenomenon.
2) Super Mario Bros. (NES) : Redefined the role of the console game into something more than a quick 30 second jaunt. Redefined platformer genre.
3) Dragon's Lair : Revolutionary use of new technology for the purposes of gaming.
4) Doom : An early example of outrage caused by video game violence, and would set the stage for violent 3-D shooters after that.
5) E.T. (Atari 2600): Showed that a commercial tie-in doesn’t always guarantee success. Notorious for it’s complete and total failure.
6) Pong : Just for historical purposes, really.
7) Final Fantasy 7 : Redefined the RPG on the console forever.
8) Zork : Example of early RPG and immersive game play. Set the stage for story-driven gameplay.
9) Myst : First example of near photo realistic graphics in a game. Set the stage for all game graphics after that.
10) Tetris: Pioneer of puzzle/block games. However, also a good example of a game being released WITH a console that was arguably one of the best titles for it.

If anyone is looking to buy, sell, trade games and support a developer directly at the same time, consider joining Goozex. Enjoy!
