What is the most ground breaking console video game?

No Lifer
I was just discussing this in an IRC chatroom, and my opinion on this is Mario 64 on the N64. This game when it first came out was the most ground breaking game IMO. it was the first game to truly utilize a 3D world where you could go anywhere and just had so much freedom. It was also the first game (i believe) to use an analog stick on a controller.

I remember the feeling I had when I played Mario 64 at Toys R Us a month before it was available to purchase at the little kiosks. I probably played it at toys r us for 10+ hours total.

No other game has ever given me that same feeling as I first had when playing Mairo 64. The game is just a masterpiece.
 
I remember gonig to best buy and playing golden eye on N64. that wasw alot of fun, just going there and playing it all the time, then i got an N64 and golden eye, and played the sh t out of it.

i was too young for pong, and i was really young when super mario bros came out as well. it came out in what, 85/86? i was 4/5 at that point, so i don't remember it much. i just remember my brother got an NES for xmas one year.
 
Space Invaders for Atari... $50 cartridge back then set the stage for $50 games now. IIRC it had something like 112 game modes. MAUAHAH
 
In recent time, I'd like to say Shemue. It was the first 'realistic' game.

Overall..hmm..Probably Super Mario Bros..or Mario 64.
 
Starfox on Super Nintendo.

First to greatly utilize 3D enviroments and objects.

Last level with fallin blocks and the independence day type shootout
