Ok, I will try and make a top 20 list, but not in any particular order as I think these innovative games are all important in some aspect. Note, I have taken cues from this thread aswell:
1: Dune - first real RTS
2: Wolfenstein 3D - Hello shooters
3: The legend of Zelda - Open world exploring was done first here people!
4: Super Mario 64 - 3D done right
5: Pong - Goooooooood morning videogaming!
6: Populous - the true God-Game.
7: GoldenEye - Console FPS IS possible! with local Multi even!
8: Metal Gear Solid - the true father of stealth
9: Final Fantasy 4 - First JRPG to get everything right.
10: Wii Sports - I tend to be averse to too recent games in these sort of lists but motion controls seem to be the future and this game prooved that it is true.
11: Space Invaders - The start of the Shoot m up
12: Tetris - The first puzzle game, still played to this day.
13: Ultima online - This is the grandfather that occasionally smacks Word of Warcraft on it's head with a cane.
14: Quake - modding, online shootfests... still going on today!
15: GTA 3 - The first open world 3D game. I don't like it so much but it get's props for that.
16: Super Mario Bros - How long had we been stuck in 2D side-scrolling adventures up until SM64 was released?
17: Kung-Fu - The first one on one fighter, (though SF2 will always be more fun)
18: Shenmue - Engrossing story, unique setting and pacing... and let's not forget the - PRESS A TO DUCK NOW!! (Quick time event)
19: KoTor - If they can place Bioshock on the list for making right or wrong choices then KoTOR is far more deserving. Aswell as innovating in other fields.
20: The Ocarina of Time - Automatic jumping, Z-targeting, engrossing story and the first 3D adventure.
Games that just fell out of it in my humble opinion:
Wii Fit, Half Life, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger, Micro-Machines, Alone in the Dark, Pokemon and Maniac Mansion
|
Atari 2600 Adventure -- objective rather than score based, intentional Easter egg.
Add that to Wii Fit, Mario Kart and a couple of others and I think we have a legit top 25.
(Through the list probably ought to have the Magnavox Odyssey rather than (Atari) Pong).

Mmm adding Adventure and Odyssey would make it a top 30 list with the already listed games. Which would be quite fitting of course!
