I was trying to think of which games created certain mechanics that became popular and copied by future games in the industry.

The most famous one that comes to my mind is Assassin’s Creed, with the tower climbing for map information.

The original Medal of Honor for the Playstation 1 had an alternate control scheme that let you move in the modern dual stick manner.
