I'd say the early N64 games, like you said; then we also have Final Fantasy VII that elevated storytelling in videogames to an all new level. There are also original NES games, like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda. Pokemon Red and Blue was an entirely new conception of what handheld gaming could achieve at the time and the first step towards handheld-console integration. GTA III and Halo: Combat Evolved are all games that cannot be discounted for their influence.
... and this isn't even considering games like Half Life, Half Life 2, Counter Strike, Doom, Quake, Age of Empires, Starcraft, Warcraft, Ultima, Elder Scrolls, and World of Warcraft.
There's a good number of them is what I am saying.
^ You have a good taste, champ. Why did we have a fallout in the first place? Master of Orion, Pool of Radiance and Freespace are absolute classics.
@farrell2k
Probably the first Command and Conquer which was a ridiculously good game and probably still is. That and Dune 2, also by Westwood.
Quake introduced a lot of the behind-the-scenes concepts that we take for granted. Drop-in drop-out anytime multiplayer, for instance. Before Quake, you had to sit in a lobby and start the game with everyone, no late-comers.
Then there's client-side prediction perfected with Quakeworld. The whole mod scene really took off with Quake. QuakeGL and its whole 'mini-Glide' API, etc.
I'd have to go with
A lot of the obvious ones have been taken so I'll list two recent ones: Wii Sports and Call of Duty 4.
The original Halo on Xbox.
I'd have to go with
