Based on the fact that there are probably more than 10x more computers in people's homes now, compared to 10 years ago when Myst was released, I'd say Myst would probably be the winner in that sense
Anyway, I don't think such a thing as "the best" exists.
Fallout, best RPG ever.
Elite II...I still love it, nothing has touched it in the gameplay department so far.
Doom showed the world what FPS is all about.
Quake showed the world what online gaming is all about(though arguably WarCraft II over Kali shares that honor for me

).
And so forth...
