IMHO, I would have to say: Zork
Boy, I forget how young everybody is, most of the games listed above have their origins in either Zork from Infocom (aka: Adventure/Dungeon on mainframes) or Wizardry from Sir-Tech.
Although most would now consider these boring, all the new stuff is RT instead of turn-based and a 3D enviro instead of an ansi based diagram in the corner of a 40x24 text screen; the roots of even the newest MMORPG and shooters started with Zork.
BTW, it is pitch black, you are likely to be eaten by a grue!
