    I'm surprised you didn't mention the first 3D space sim, Elite (1984).

    Your channel is criminally underrated! These mini docs are better than most TV productions!

    1. MMORPGS 0:33
    Game: Meridian 59 (1996) 2:20
    Comments: The little card you have that reads out the name at the formerly mentioned 2:20 only reads out as Meridian 5, not Meridian 59.
    2. Roguelikes 3:50
    Game: Rogue (1980) 5:08
    Comments: Roguelikes are also one of my favorite genres. I have ~1600 hours in The Binding of Isaac: Repentence
    3. Survival Horror 6:18
    Game: Sweet Home (1989) 7:28
    4. Life Simulator 9:21
    Game: Little Computer People (1985) 10:00
    5. Stealth Games (11:39)
    Game: Shoplifting Boy (1979) a.k.a Manbiki Shounen (万引き少年) 12:13

    I know it's super late but if you want to do a follow up video, could you cover MegaMan Battle Network? It's its own genre to the point where people don't have a collectively agreed upon TERM for the genre of game it is apart from "like MegaMan Battle Network"

      @@AlmostSomething There was a legacy collection released for Switch, PS4, and Steam, it broke sales records for a reason. Word of advice start on #3 it’s INCREDIBLE and you don’t lose out on much story. Play the games in the order of 3, 2, 5 6. We do NOT speak of #4 and #1 reeks of first game in a series-itis.

    Super interesting topic and good research. Obviously there are so many more games to talk about, such as the first first person shooter. The things is, some games might be the first in the genre, but they weren't those that popularized it. Good example is DOOM.
    With this topic I would always list two games, one which is the first and another which popularized it. Usually these are two different games. Hope you do more of this video topic.

    Just want to give a shout out to Alone in the Dark, which was one of the very first survival horror games in the fixed-camera 3D characters+pre-rendered format that we now associate almost entirely with Resident Evil. Although Sweet Home came first, I feel like Alone in the Dark is the game that really gave us modern survival horror as we all know it today. It even got a recent game in the series too. :)
    Also, I'd like to mention Super Mario Kart while I'm here too, as that basically created the entire kart racing genre (is that considered a genre, or something else). :)

    I was expecting to see Souls Likes here but I guess Demon Souls isn't old enough for this video. Good vid anyways.
    Edit: I guess Kings Feild is technically the first souls like but at the same time not really
