That's a tough question. But I think I know the answer.
It's got to be Donkey Kong (1981) for the arcade. Without it Nintendo may have left video games and stuck to toys and playing cards. It gave Shigeru Miyamoto his start and he have given us so much. It was also the big break for Gunpei Yokoi who went on to design the Gameboy.
But on top of it's importance, Donkey Kong remains one of the most challenging, addictive and fun games of all time. Like golf anyone can have fun, but it takes dedication and training to score big. The few masters of Donkey Kong are gaming legends.
Donkey Kong is one hell of a game.
I even put my own version of it in my virtual arcade. Check out my VGchartz avatar to the left.
