For me it kinda goes something like this:


1981 to 1990 = MARIO 1
I have only started gaming in late 90s but the influence of Mario 1 was still felt at the time & undeniable. Even now decades later, many games (especially Indies) have this standard set "is it fun as Mario 1?".


1991 to 2000 = FINAL FANTASY IX

FF9 is IMO the magnum opus of both Squaresoft & Sony PS1; a gargantuan technical marvel of JRPG. Gripping story, memorable cast of characters, deep gameplay & amazing world to unravel. Which is why many today salivates at the idea of a full-blown remake 🤤.


2001 to 2020 = HALO

Halo 1 may not did FPS first, but for me & for sure to many, it made it cool & fun for endless holy-****-did-you-see-that memories. Tight but just right controls, so many options both singleplayer or multiplay, epic story & an epic main dude in Master Chief.


2021 to 2030 = ELDEN RING

Yes the decade isn't over yet & yes GTAVI may be the frontrunner for this, but as of this moment, I just believe Elden Ring is videogame near-perfection; best-in-class gameplay, massive amount of content to go crazy about in various ways on its awe inspiring, breathtakingly wonderful Lands Between & infinite moments that just simply makes you 🫨🤬 😳 😡 😲.

Post yours IG family!

Thanks! 👍
 
1981 to 1990 - Mario for sure, it basically created platforms as we know it

1991 - 2000 - Pokémon - It's a behemoth of a franchise that sold over 100m copies and was a complete craze

2001 - 2020 - Very hard to say, i would say it's GTA V due to how big of an impact that game made

2021- 2030 - Too early to tell.
 
80s - Not really qualified to answer this one
90s - GT2
00s - Metal Gear Solid 3
10s - GTA V (The impact this game had was ridiculous)
20s - Baldur's Gate 3
 
Most important game of each decade with a runner up and two:

80s = Super Mario Bros, but Ultima a runner up.
90s = Ocarina of Time, a runner up being Doom.
00s = GTA III, runner up being Halo or Battlefield 2 because CoD 4 and onwards owes a lot to Battlefield 2 (Black Ops games have a theatre mode 'cause the ex-head of Treyarch worked on Battlefield 2, and the jump from Historical > Modern). Wii Sports is an important mention
10s = Fortnite. Hard to say a runner up really, maybe GTA V? Though GTA V is sorta iterative on from GTA III with online with it.
20s = IDK, hard to say right now. Maybe Elden Ring or BG3?
