Well for me, I wouldn't choose any as the most influential game of all time. It's really difficult to choose, but if I must mention name then it's Super mario bros. Like o said, our choices differs.

I play Super Mario kart and liked it. There is calmness and no rush in the game and even when you have other things that you are doing, this is a game that you should try your hands on.

It's actually why some gamers find it very difficult to make such choices because it's always very difficult in point at the moment for them.

Also, I'd say Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt were influential I believe. But also maybe Ping Pong, or Space Invaders, or the 80s arcades. There's so many influential games out there, it's tough to just say one or two.

This game is Nintendo friendly, which means, it isn't possible for me to get going with, because my console wouldn't access it.

I would straight up say SMB is the most influential game of all time. The entire Mario franchise has spawned so many games and offshoots that I don't know if anyone can logically and honestly count them without forgetting and missing several. I don't think anyone even knows about every Mario game, except those at Nintendo that work on the Mario franchise.

A second would be Zelda. it has influenced so many fantasy games. I'm sure it even gave inspiration to the creators of the Elder Scrolls series.

Those 2 games are huge inspiration to so many developers. It's possible that Zelda could have inspired the GTA series. Perhaps the creators of GTA were tired of the hero killing monsters, and saving a princess. So they wanted something set in modern times where you play as both the protagonist and the antagonist.

There's no telling what games could have been inspiration for other games. But my money is mainly on SMB, and somewhat on Zelda.

I think a big thing about SMB, is that it has aged very well. It's still one of the most smoothest games to play. It's not perfect, but I think it helped show that video games were just getting started.

It's practically the reason why it's been that good the way it has been and I'm seeing it to be high up there for a very long time.

It's mainly because of how easy it is to access. Anyone can play SMB, from a kid, to a grandma. The controls are near perfect, the graphics are simple, but effective and work for the time and even today. 

It's just a start of something that made sense and influenced so many more games to follow. Without SMB, I don't think we'd have a lot of the popular hit games of today, at least in terms of 2d side scrollers/platformers.
