I'd drop Command & Conquer and put in Dune 2, seeing as how it was the first RTS in the format that has remained largely unchanged to this day. It was a huge hit on Amiga and C&C is pretty much a carbon copy with better PR.

I'd also include Elite for being light years ahead of it's time in terms of scope and graphics and introducing the concept of a trading game, without which you wouldn't have a load of MMORGS or most of those crappy free games on Facebook amongst a ton of other things.

Sim City was pretty revolutionary too, being a game in which you build things rather than kill things and in the original at least, there was little in the way of definite goals. Certainly the forerunner to all the Tycoon games and various Sim off-shoots.

Whilst Wolfenstein certainly kicked off the FPS market, to say it started the computer gaming (I assume you mean as opposed to consoles) market is just plain wrong. Most people I knew played on "proper" computers rather than consoles until the SNES came out and consoles caught up with computers in terms of quality of games.

On that note, Street Fighter 2 should go in the list for perfecting the beat em up and bringing arcade joy into the home on SNES.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
