There is just no way around Wing Commander. It belongs to those with legendary status which changed the face of everyone's favourite hobby. First by showing that the days of the bedroom programmer were over, and the age of corporately produced games was upon us. Second, it established the IBM PC – previously regarded as a pure office computer – as the predominant games platform for the years to come. Therefore leaving a huge footprint and legacy on the whole industry.

P.S. For the true historians among you, we also have the versions for Amiga, CD32 and 3DO, called Super Wing Commander.
