To get the obvious out of the way: Pacman, Doom 2, Starcraft, Simcity 2000, Civ 3. All genre-defining milestones.

Total Annihilation. They're still making sequels today (Supreme Commander, Beyond all Reason).

Warzone 2100 was the first 3D rotatable zoomable RTS which was pretty mind blowing at the time.

    Civ 3? Outside of introducing strategic resources, it is difficult to think of what innovation Civ3 brought to the franchise. Civ 2? Absolutely. Civ 4? I can totally see it. What makes Civ 3 stand out?

    If anything, Civ1 should be the milestone for creating a genre.

    Civ 3 was the first one I played so it sticks in my mind the most, that's all. Any of the Civs would be fine.

    I do feel like Civ 3 was a big step up in visual effects, though.
