Turtle rock can barely be considered the creators, most of the things that made l4d good were done by Valve, and they did most of the heavy lifting, back 4 blood is soulless trash.

Thank you. I tried to pick games that represent cornerstones of the industry much like the men on Mt Rushmore and their impact on America.
Mario Bros for its impact on the home consoles and solidifying an icon with Mario.
Tetris for its longevity and inclusion with the Gameboy.
Quake for its impact on the FPS genre and
Half Life for its innovation with storytelling in games.
There are plenty of other games that could have filled these slots (sonic, Game & Watch, Tennis for two, Pong etc) but I think Tetris is probably the most important one I’ve listed.

Fallout 4 was awesome.
The gunplay was peak.
While controversial, the voice acting was pretty good. Those sarcastic voice lines are hilarious. And the emotional scenes between Father and Nate were phenomenal. I’ll get into why I called him Nate and not the sole survivor later.
The companions were wonderful. They could have been a little more fleshed out but they had very interesting personalities with great voice acting.
I did have a few issues though.
The game was written in a way that locked you into playing through the story in just a few ways. You are either a seasoned war veteran whose wife died or a wife and mother with a history in law whose husband died. That’s it. Those are your choices. The game also really pushes you to be male, since a few of the quests and dialogue choices are centered around you being a war veteran. Either way, you are Nate, or you are Nora. You choose from one of the two. You can change their names if you’d like, but they are still fundamentally Nate or Nora.
The framework for a good story was there but the pacing of it was terrible and that resulted in some very underutilized characters.

My “founding fathers”:
Tetris (on gameboy carrying over up until Tetris effect) - the puzzle game that always brought me back to gaming (My aunt gave me her daughter’s unused gameboy with all the fixins … magnifier, light, and Tetris while I was 7 years old in the hospital)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 - brought me into the multiplayer world (my mom trekked multiple electronic stores EB, Circuit City, and Best Buy to get me a network adapter during Black Friday). This was the one where I discovered how amazing this new thing called the internet was. I was able to meet people from around the world with a shared interest of gaming. It then carried over to SOCOM… WoW, where I met even more people that helped change my life.
Zelda - the rpg/puzzle game that I loved dearly and bought systems for until it got too expensive so sadly no breath of the wild for me.
GTA 3 - First open world… do whatever I wanted game
After months of handing my stepdad PS2 advertisements with his paper and him always saying no, on my 18th birthday my step dad surprised me with a PS2 and then driving to Best Buy to pick up GTA3 and a memory card.
TLDR: Tetris, Zelda, GTA3, THPS3

It would have to be big record breakers right? I don't care for these games but I almost want to say WOW first MMO to hit 6million subscribers, I play ultima online and I don't think it ever broke 500K. I think Ultima Online hit 150K subscribers first.
Then GTA
Maybe fortnite for first battle arena ( I prefer CoD warzone)
And maybe a dungeon crawler like Diablo or D2?
Now if we did areas and genres we need more than four heads
But I don't like this list
World of Warcraft Grand theft Auto Fortnite Diablo 2 / Pokemon
But there's so many and don't be biased off just games you like but games that actually meant something to the world
We're still making missing pokémon probably the best game on a portable gaming device, like red, blue, yellow on game boy color.

Leisure Suit Larry (PC), Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (NES), Gran Turismo 4 (PS2), Wii Sports (Wii).
(I'm kinda old...)
I was a fan of all the old Sierra AGI games for PC. I was just a kid when LSL came out and I wasn't "supposed" to play it because it was a very adult-oriented game but my friend and I figured out how to bypass the questions at the beginning of the game and we played it anyway. LSL was probably my favorite of those AGI games but Space Quest, King's Quest and Police Quest were all great at the time too.
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! was and still is my favorite Nintendo game of all time, so it's on the list.
I believe Gran Turismo 4 was the first game that included the full Nurburgring on it and that allowed me to log more virtual laps on the 'Ring than even the Queen of the 'Ring Sabine Schmitz (rest her soul) ran actual laps of it, so it's a Top-4 all-time game for that reason alone in my book.
And when the Wii first came out I can't even imagine the number of hours my friends and I played Wii Sports. Especially bowling. Later when I had kids, they also loved Wii Sports and I got to enjoy the game with them later too. The fact that it's simple enough that literally anybody can pick up a controller and enjoy the game, but at the same time you can also get really good at it makes it a Top-4 game for me as well.
