Todd Howard recently shared his thoughts on the most important and influential games in industry history. The game designer gave his take in a social media post for the BAFTA awards.
According to Howard, Tetris and Pac-Man hold the title of the most significant games ever. However, when it comes to sheer influence, he believes two other titles stand above the rest.
First I think, the two most important games of all time are Tetris and Pac-Man for what they do for gaming overall and bringing so many people to it.
For influential, I'm gonna go with Super Mario Bros. and Doom. Two games where, if you trace things games are doing today, you can trace so much of that back to those games, both Super Mario Bros. and Doom.
Currently, Howard and Bethesda are working on The Elder Scrolls 6. While no official details have been revealed, rumors about the new RPG surfaced online a few months ago.
