Spoiler…
Nintendo wrecks the shit out of Atari.

I would still say internal combustion given it birthed petroleum and all the shit that has come along with petroleum being turned into a million different things.

Steam engine is the most consequential invention of all time. Horsepower and speed of transit (aside from @creepycoug figuring out Deepwater navigation with Galleons and Guns ) had remained fixed for thousands of years.

Not so fast my fren. Rockefeller became the richest man in the world based on selling Kerosene for lighting and heating before the internal combustion engine was a thing. Standard Oil was broken up in 1911 which was just a few years after the first Model T (1908).
Kerosene birthed the petroleum bidness and saved the whales too ( which some people forget ). Gasoline was a by product of the distillation of kerosene.
