The director behind Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield was asked to pick the most influential game of all time. Todd Howard decided there are actually two titles that fit that billing: Super Mario Bros. and Doom. But that’s not all, as the Bethesda Game Studios executive producer also offered up what he thinks are the two most important titles, too.
In response to your request,
The official BAFTA Games Awards account asked Todd Howard, a renowned game developer, about his opinion on the most significant game of all time. Although he is currently occupied with The Elder Scrolls VI (and Fallout 5), he began his response by making a brief but captivating deviation. “I believe that the two games that have had the most impact on gaming as a whole and attracted numerous people to it are Tetris and Pac-Man,” Howard stated.

As for the actual question, Howard selected Super Mario Bros. and Doom as the most influential games because he sees their DNA in modern games–even three decades later. “Two games where if you trace things games are doing today, you can trace so much of that back to those games,” Howard said.
Howard most recently served as executive producer on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. He also got to appear with Harrison Ford on stage at The Game Awards in December. As for Super Mario Bros., it’s still one of the top-selling video games of all time after launching on NES in 1985. Meanwhile, Doom came out on PC (specifically MS-DOS) in 1993 and now gets hacked onto every device known to mankind.
I’m excited to announce that the BAFTA Games Awards are happening on April 8! The game “Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II” has stolen the show with a whopping 11 nominations, making it the most nominated game this year. Can’t wait to see who takes home the trophy! #gaming #BAFTA2023
