Pretty much all of Looking Glass Studio's games, but specially Ultima Underworld, System Shock and Thief: The Dark Project.

Even just on a technical level, they were mind blowing at the time.

 

[REDSLATE]

Pretty much laid the foundation for future online games.

Shame GTA3 gets all the glory for what this game established first.

At least I can breathe knowing 2 posters know all about that.

What did it do first?

I think if Ecco the Dolphin 1 and 2 were released in the 2010's, they would be held in the same regard as Journey, Ori and the Blind Forest and other big indy successes. It got lost in the shuffle on the Genesis.
