What about Elite on the BBC micro?

OK - Lets forget that

• It was the first truly 3D 8 bit game
• It had 8 galaxies, each containing 256 solarsystems to explore
• It had missions, and police ships as well as pirates and traders, and the ability to be either

But fer Chrissakes it was coded into 18Kbytes of handcrafted 6502 machine code. That alone deserves a mention!

Wolfenstein

Doom, because it practically reinvented the FPS, both in terms of originality of gameplay and graphics quality.


No, that was Wolfenstein.
I liked Doom better, but it was Wolf which reinvented the genre.
