Really? WoW? What about EQ????
Crash was a 3D platformer (although half the levels were more 2D)...
Like Slime said, Lara was influential, but she wasn't the first major lady character (Samus, for eg)
Really? Halo?

I'll give Dune II.

This is a shit list.

Yeah, but Lara was the first to really get recognised for having a woman as lead, to the point where it gave birth to 2 Hollywood films which have been financially the most sucessful game > film adaptation. Games before weren't really recognised for having a feminine lead whether they had a female lead or not.

I would replace Halo with Wolfenstein 3D.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Just because something wasn't recognized, doesn't mean they weren't the first ones to do it.

DQ1 didn't shape RPGs as they are today, that one resembled an antiquated PC RPG. DQ2 and 3 strongly resemble today's RPGs. Final Fantasy came out around DQ3 and was heavily shaped by the series.

Super Mario Bros 1. (NES) Established the platformers.

Tetris (NES/GB) established puzzle games and the casual genre

Wii Sports (Wii) established motion control gaming

Sid Meier's Pirates (Commodore 64) simulation/strategy gaming

Dragon Quest 2 (NES) - The Console RPG.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Wow not a playstation exclusive in sight

"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

""Windows [n.] - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.""
