Anyone knows what game has made a big impact or any at all? It just crossed my mind and I want to know if any has, whether old or new.

Well, Mario sure became famous. But really I fell in love with Final Fantasy from the very beginning. I could not put that down and I love the series of them. I am not sure what you mean by history.

I do know that there was a movie made on the game Silent Hill. Usually it's the other way around, I think .

I would venture that the original Pac-Man game in the arcades across the world in the 1980s turned the video gaming market on its ear. Perhaps, the game should be credited for being the original powerhouse that put in the electric current that still pulses in the gaming community today.

Looking back at the cartoons, lunchboxes, t-shirts, press coverage, children cereal, sleeping bags, etc that were sold to a whole generation, I do not know if such a claim is really all that sweeping.

That is my example provided, anyway.

Well, when Quake 3 came out it was graphically so far ahead of everything else that it was used as a video benchmark for years. Baldur's Gate was the first video game RPG that came close to the imaginations of the pen and paper versions, and became something of a cult game.
For extremely influential games, check out the old Pong, Pac-man, Space Invaders, and other originals like these.
