1978 Taito Space Invaders
Space Invaders is the most significant video game of all time. It set
the standard of what video games should be in that time. The game was so popular
in Japan that it caused a Yen shortage, creating the demand for more coins to
be made. Having caused the entire country to run out of coins it definitely
makes it self to be one of the corner stones in the video-game empire.

number of completely innovative game-play ideas to the platform type. It was to
be the first game ever to attribute numerous playing fields. It was one of the
first games that allowed players to jump over objects. And because of this, its

Shigeru Miyamoto Legend of Zelda
The Legend of
Zelda is one of the most iconic games that Nintendo has ever released. It is an action adventure video game, which
had a mixture of, puzzles solving, role-playing and adventure. The Legend of
Zelda was one of the first games to have a series that followed after the first
release. Zelda was a game that required the players
to think about what their next strategy would be. This also allowed players to
communicate with each other and share their ideas to find the different secrets
hidden in the game. This became a new way of game communication. And this laid
the foundation for today’s games that communicate through gamming wherever they
might be playing “battlefield” or “Portal 2”.
This way of communication really changed the way games where made and
how gamming communities started. And that is why The Legend of Zelda is significance and will remain one of the corner
stones of gamming development and communication
