Well, it's hard to say which games really made such a great impact, but I think first off there would have to be a clear criteria set. So they said games that were the firsts in a genre...
Let's see, I'd categorise them like this:
First ever:
game (it's the one that proved that computer games can be used to have fun, not just to simplify work).
multiplayer game (two people playing against each other using a computer).
game that allowed two players accomplishing a task together.
game that for continuation later on (save game option).
game that included computer inteligence (so it wasn't just avoiding randomly generated obsticles).
game that allowed a mulitplayer option on different computers (no matter how they were connected).
online game that included a huge number of players who could join up.
