The lack of Castlevania and DooM in these lists in terms of important series is a travesty.  Also Quake 1 literally invented the functionality of modern TCP/IP over internet gaming that is still used today in all online games.  Then Quake 3 perfected the technology.

Castlevania I think falls off a lot of peoples' radars due to its lack of popularity and recent negligence from Konami. Had this thread been made in, say 2004, after the trilogy of GBA classics had just come out and Symphony of the Night was still fresh in peoples' minds, more people would have mentioned it. Though I did put Castlevania in as an honorable mention.

As for Doom... its legacy is a mixed one. It may have codified the FPS as we know it, but Wolfenstein came first. And neither series has been very sucessful ever since. The main thing Doom may have had going for it was user-generated content, but that didn't have much of an immediate impact.
