Do you agree with the list? [/b]


Doom puzzles me a little. It didn't define the genre. There were FPS games before it. It did popularize the genre, however. Maybe they selected it because of the advances that it brought in game engine technology.



Have to agree with Zork wholeheartedly.



I think the first game to use the point and click interface (as opposed to text parsing) should be in there. That changed gaming a lot.
