Default 10 most important video games of all time

Spacewar! (1962), Star Raiders (1979), Zork (1980), Tetris (1985), SimCity (1989), Super Mario Bros. 3 (1990), Civilization I/II (1991), Doom (1993), Warcraft series (beginning 1994) and Sensible World of Soccer (1994).
I'm not familiar with the first 3.

I never played SimCity and have never heard of Sensible World of Soccer.

Super Mario Bros. as the archetypal "fun" scrolling adventure game. Doom as the first (?) 3D first person shooter. Civ as an important strategy/building game.

No Atari games that I played as a kid? Defender, combat, etc.?

No cyberball?
