What are some games that can definitively be said to have invented certain genres?

Off the top of my mind:

Grand Theft Auto III - Open World Sandbox Crime Genre

Super Smash Bros. - Platform Fighters

Demon Souls - Soulsebournes and Soulslikes?

Any others that you can think of?

Driver came before GTA

Outfoxies came before Smash

GTA and driver play very differently. and GTA 1 was out before driver.
