MGS because it was completely amazing for its time of release, it didn't really have any strong competition, so it easily wiped the floor with any other game, it brought a whole new genre of game into the system, shoot-em-up, beat-em-up, stealth, action, puzzle all in one. To top it off, its just f***ing amazing.
Smash Brothers because it was the first real good 4 player beat-em-up. Tekken is good and others like it, but the this was the first to allow 4 peeps to play each other at once, BRILLIANT! I have become quite good at the game from constant playing of it. Infact, I have completed the game on VERY HARD with Jigglypuff with one life very easily and all the other characters for that matter. Plus I am undefeated, except for once when my friend introduced me to it and I played it for the first time. Infact, I would say I was the KING at the game and only wish they would do tournaments of it over the country!
