Donkey Kong Country, the original trilogy. The new ones from 64 onward are alright, but I didn't think they had nearly the impact. The original trilogy was pretty much the equivalent in hype/awesome as the 3D GTA trilogy on PS2.

It's hard to overstate the impact DKC had back when it first released. Back in 1994, on a CRT TV, it's pre-rendered graphics looked almost too good to be true, it was like if Crysis came out in the early 6th gen.

Yes, but Crysis doesn't have gorillas beating up evil crocodile kings.
