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?
I don't know Spacewar!, but Star Raiders and Zork I know. The Infocom text-based games were my inspiration for finally learn to type. I can't count the number of hours I spent playing Civilization. Great game.
