I think most of the truly original games of modern times arn't computer games, if that counts. For example dungeons and dragons, and the other rpgs begining at the time of its creation were, and still are incredibly groundbraking, nothing even close to it before. Magic: The Gathering is another groundbreaking game, as there wasnt anything even resembling it when it was created. As for as computer games go Id have to look at all the old clasics which basically created the genres,wolfenstien 3d, the original ultima, simcity, all the games that helped create a whole genre.
