culturally significant games

by no means a comprehensive or complete list, just something that came to mind. i am using a vague and general definition of "culturally significant", by which i mean it's arbitrarily determined by me and no one else. i will say that "culturally significant" does not equate "good", just that culture was impacted in some observably significant way(s). accepting suggestions for what to include
