And FIFA Soccer as the most influential sports game??? Just curious as to how you came to that conclusion.
First Person Shooter: Doom / Quake
Real Time Strategy: Legend of Zelda
Turn-based Strategy: Risk (hehehe, beats me)
Role Playing: Final Fantasy 7
Racing: the original Test Drive (on 5.5 inch floppies) / the original Need for Speed
Action / Adventure / Puzzle: Myst
Sport: Madden
Platform: Sega Genesis
Fighting: Punch Out / Pit Fighter
Horror: Resident Evil
Crime: Grand Theft Auto
Turn-based strategy and RPG's are very different genres of games - in turn-based strategy the object is usually "world domination" or similar and you have your turn of moves and sit and wait for your opponents to make their moves. An RPG sees each player wandering around, talking to NPC's and other players, fighting, solving puzzles etc.
I would classify Legend of Zelda as a RPG rather than a RTS. RTS's are where players race to defeat their opponents in a "world domination" scenario or similar but everyone makes their moves at the same time.

As far as the turn based games, then I'd have to revise my pick to Civilization.
>still stick by the Zelda as an rts since, from what I remember, the you still had to battle characters in real time as opposed to something like FF7 where the battles are turn based. Not sure if thats enough to make it an rts, but thats what I'm sticking to.
Um no. Zelda is NOT an rts. It's an adventure game, and, according to some, a rpg.

No, I think the term 'adventure' has a specific, narrowly defined meaning that Zelda doesn't fit. I've always heard games in the mold of the Zelda series as 'action rpgs'.

I don't really consider eastern "rpgs" to be "real" rpgs due to their fixed plot line and lack of control.
