A lot of you aren't really mentioning games that saved a company from certain doom if the game didn't happen though.

I'd mention Donkey Kong (arcade) by Nintendo. Nintendo's first arcade game was a bust, and Donkey Kong was a last ditch effort which happened to become huge. Nintendo could've still been an unknown playing card maker to this day, or could've not existed anymore at all.
