The trailer make quite a few "mistakes":
Quake was actually preceded by the Xngine when it came to a fully 3D world. Future Shock was the first 3D game (albeit with sprites for small objects - id Software's Quake engine couldn't handle those either so they just left them out). Also, while Quake's engine WAS licensed out, there were only a handful of games that were wiling to pay for it and only Half Life is remembered these days so it was hardly a big thing.
Also, I disagree with Starcraft. It may be popular but the title is "breakthrough PC games" and Starcraft was an updated Warcraft II with few real innovations. Most were, in typical Blizzard style, ripped off from other games such as Dark Reign. Just because it's a popular online game, especially in Korea, doesn't mean it was a breakthrough game. Command & Conquer or Dune 2 deserve this spot far more.
I'm glad they added Ultime Online though: if they hadn't, they'd have to be BIG fools. Why they made it "Kingdom Reborn" I don't get. Why they even USED the new client I don't get. I also think it's ridiculous the way they basically say "other games learned to be carebear games instead of making the player sweat.
Wizardry does deserve to be that high but Akalabeth (Ultima 0) was released around the same time and even a little earlier so I wonder who came up with the idea?
And yes, Doom on number one is no surprise. Wolfenstein 3D was a maze game while Doom was a real world.
Personally, I think they left out some important games - Dune 2 deserved to be mentioned more than Starcraft for example.
