Doom puzzles me a little. It didn't define the genre. There were FPS games before it. It did popularize the genre, however. Maybe they selected it because of the advances that it brought in game engine technology.

Must be because of the advances made with the Doom engine. Personally, I always considered Wolfenstien 3D as being more genre defining.
I'm a little puzzled by Sensible World of Soccer, too. Whilst it pioneered replays, varying pitch condidtions, and is more comprehensive in terms of number of players/teams/competitions covered than most modern soccer games, it was released only a couple of years before the universal dropping of the top-down format in favour of the TV-camera "3d" format.
Surely the first 3d FIFA (96?) is more relevant to the current state of soccer games than SWOS?

This isn't just a top ten list. This news story was announced under the guise of a Ten Most Important Games of all times, but really it's the first ten games to be added in this preservation project.[/b]

Ah, it makes more sense now.
