What are iconic and legendary games that defined a generation of gaming, that deserve a place in the gaming pantheon?

gen 4: chrono trigger
gen 5: doom, honorable mention to ocarina of time
gen 6: half life 2
gen 7: minecraft, honorable mention to dark souls
gen 8: fortnite
gen 9: too early to say

Doom came out before Chrono Trigger. I don't think Chrono Trigger is really that legendary either at least in America. I never heard of Chrono Trigger back in the 90s. Link To The Past was way more legendary.

Yeah but Chrono Trigger was a SNES game. The gens overlap.
>I don't think Chrono Trigger is really that legendary either at least in America
I included the games based on influence more than anything. The game itself wasn't the mot popular but is widely cited as one of the best of all time and was hugely influential on the medium as a whole.

Too incremental of an entry to include imo. OoT on the other hand pioneered multiple systems that are still used, like lock-on targeting.

Fair enough, what about the original LoZ?

I think the problem is that there are genres and consoles and people usually segregate themselves to them so it is hard to say of which two games came out at the same time for PC and Nintendo and Sony and in different genres are more influential or legendary. Obviously first gen Xbox owners would say Halo. But a PC gamer might be like that's knockoff Tribes.

We're talking about gaming not mobile shit

Mobile games are a major part of gaming, so it might be worth considering when talking about iconic games in general.
