You could actually make an argument for Tetris.
But my pick is Super Mario Brothers.

Finished OoT for the first time earlier this month...it's indeed a classic
How is it any game other than Super Mario Bros. It, with the NES, saved the gaming industry.

Ok, so as a soccer gaming stan (for those with a long memory, I used to own the Cyber Soccer network in the 90s) the most important moments in virtual futbol.
1990 Kick Off 2 (not the first attempt at top-down soccer by a long way, but the first that nailed the gameplay - endlessly playable game... seemed that everyone with an Amiga had a cracked copy of the World Cup '90 edition)
1993 FIFA International Soccer (set the isometric viewpoint as default for soccer games going forward, but the "real gamers" were still choosing Sensi and Kick Off)
1994 Sensible World Of Soccer (took Kick Off's gameplay, refined it over a couple of editions and then released SWOS which was the first attempt at an exhaustive roster of thousands of teams around the world which is pretty much a pre-req nowadays - despite top-down being very much 'last gen' this stayed popular for YEARS)
1995 Actua Soccer (first proper isometric 3D soccer game with polygonal players, commentary and all the chummy shyt we take for granted today... FIFA and Pro Evo wouldn't be where they are today without Actua 1 and 2)
1995 Championship Manager 2 - ChampMan invented the football manager genre and ChampMan 2 perfected it. Despite Eidos keeping rights to the name, the code lives on in Football Manager series proving nobody ever did this better.
Arguably since 1995 nothing major has changed... games have got better, but it's mainly just been polishing for 21 years.

Oh, but the most important game full-stop is Doom 2. Changed the game for everyone.
