I think Tomb Raider might not count unless you can find another milestone since it wasn’t the first game with a female character, and this job is more for games that were the first to do somethingPack In: Duck Hunt
Popularized shooters even before Doom and Halo.
Milestone: Tomb Raider (1996)
Popularized elements seen in later games like Uncharted and Prince of Persia.
One of the most well known female video game characters.
Fixed.
Not to sound annoying or anything but Tomb Raider wasn’t the first computer game to have a female protagonist, Psycho Soldier for example came before it, so I don’t think the game would be eligible with those circumstances
Fixed again.

, you forgot Tomb Raider (I changed it to add milestones)
This is easily the best name for an achievement ever - not just in this thread.
Can't take full credit for it - This achievement was pretty much ripped from Apple Game Center's achievements for the original AB.
Rayman 2: The Great Escape
Rayman 2: The Great Escape is a 3D platform game created by Ubisoft in 1999 and the sequel to the original 1995 game, which focuses on the title character in his journey to save the Glade of Dreams from an army of robotic pirates led by their evil captain Admiral Razorbeard. The game was critically acclaimed for it's gameplay, accessibility, colourful visuals/graphics, fantasy themes, memorable characters, dynamic level design, dark atmosphere/tone, serious storyline and phenomenal soundtrack, even regarded as one of the best 3D platformers of the 1990's generation alongside Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie and many others. It also worked as the main inspiration and big/key influence for Double Fine Productions' video game series Psychonauts and it's 2021 sequel (with Rayman's creator/father, Michel Ancel himself, mentioned in a' "Special Thanks" section of the latter's credits), created by a Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts veteran Tim Schafer (known for games like Monkey Island alongside colleagues Ron Gilbert & Dave Grossman, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, Brutal Legend and Broken Age).
- Genre: Action-Adventure & Platformer
- Company: Ubisoft Entertainment (France)
- Release Date: October 29th, 1999
Rayman 2 has been released on multiple platforms such as Nintendo 64 (original console), PC/Windows, SEGA Dreamcast, the original PlayStation, Game Boy Color (as Rayman 2 Forever), iOS devices, Nintendo DS (Rayman DS) & 3DS, and finally, PlayStation 2 under the title "Rayman Revolution", which expanded the game with enhanced graphics, new areas (plus a hub world), bosses and mini-games. Each version/port has their own exclusive content and noticeable differences like N64's menu transitions, PC's The Knowledge of the World (that allows you to browse through the lore of Rayman's world), Dreamcast's Globox Village/Isle of Doors/4-player minigames, PS1's Ninjaws boss/a 2D prototype level and afore-mentioned changes/features in Revolution.
If I have to choose for this thread, we'll probably use either the SEGA Dreamcast (which Michel Ancel considered the game's definitive edition) or PlayStation 2 (Revolution) version, with perhaps some elements from other ports being included as additional features (akin to Sheng Long in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior).
In case, there's future content if any of those two may end up getting in,The Secret of Monkey Island
The Secret of Monkey Island is the first installment of a eponymous point-and-click graphic adventure video game series, created by Ron Gilbert and published by Lucasfilm Games (a video game subsidiary of Lucasfilm Ltd), releasing on home computers in 1990. The plot focuses on Guybrush Threepwood, a young man who dreams of becoming a swashbuckling "Mighty Pirate" after washing ashore to Melee IslandTM, exploring a few islands while solving various puzzles to succeed in the three trials given to him by pirate leaders and trying to stop the evil undead ghost pirate captain LeChuck from abducting Méléé IslandTM's governor and his love interest, Elaine Marley.
- Genre: Graphic Adventure
- Company: Lucasfilm Games
- Release Date: October 15th, 1990
The game is critically-acclaimed and still declared one of the greatest adventure games of all time, all thanks to it's witty comedic humor (especially quotes), memorable characters/puzzles (like insult swordfighting) and a fantastic soundtrack, which all entirely defined/pioneered the genre itself and left such a lasting impact that it's influence has spread throughout the industry, even having been exhibited in the Smithsonian American Art Museum (alongside Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros.). It was referenced in multiple games such as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (a Jedi mind trick), Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, The Witcher 3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, even getting a easter egg in Sea of Thieves (complete with a iconic theme song) through the Pirates of the Caribbean expansion, which speaking of, a cancelled movie adaptation's script was apparently re-used for it's very first film in 2003, The Curse of the Black Pearl.
It also achieved a few sequels over the years like Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991), The Curse of Monkey Island (1997), Escape from Monkey Island (2000), Tales of Monkey Island (2009; by Telltale Games which was founded by former LucasArts employees) and the latest game which acts as the finale story, Return to Monkey Island (2022). Remakes of the first two installments (titled "Special Editions") with a hand-drawn artstyle and voice acting with those returning from Curse and Escape, were also released on PlayStation 3 (can be played on PS4 and PS5 via PlayStation Plus Premium), Xbox 360 (also backwards compatible for Xbox One and Series) and iPhone alongside Microsoft Windows.
For additional features/side content, perhaps we should have those like voice acting from a Special Edition remake released in 2009 (via options; not necessary if you're a 1990's kid), different sound cards (with Roland LAPC-1/MT-32 being a default option) and a hint system for newcomers/beginners, who doesn't have any idea what to do next (even helping with insult sword-fighting by having a marklist for quotes and solutions before facing Carla the Sword Master).
I wanted to submit Saturn Bomberman,but i think one from Super Bomberman games are good of put on ultimate game collection
