short notice but because of schedule changes at work we're recording another short conversation tomorrow night. similar idea to the last one - paradigm shifts - this one specifically looks at individual video games that revolutionized their genre or the medium as a whole. I called dibs on the easiest example, Goldeneye for N64. any other examples?
If you're going FPS, Wolfenstein and Doom have to be mentioned. There were a few FPS's here and there, but these two made people crave them. Even Lucasarts made a Star Wars FPS after these two. Super Mario Brothers saved the home console and made Nintendo a monster of a gaming company. Grand Theft Auto 3 drove the sandbox craze. Street Fighter 2 revolutionized fighting games and probably helped keep many an arcade alive during the decline years of the late 80's/early 90's.
