For me its arty games like psygnosis used to make.They may not have always had good gameplay but they created very imaginative and evocative worlds.
I'll second this. I suspect that there are almost certainly early examples on earlier platforms (the resources to do a cohesive "art game" certainly existed as far back as the C64,) but between the Psygnosis titles and
Another World (and I'd even class Cinemaware's loving genre homages in there,) the Amiga is without a doubt where the idea really began to take shape.
