Thinking of a few more... arguably Half-Life (plus expansions) and Half-Life 2 (Orange Box?) could be added, but I'm not sure about those. The Dig, Loom, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, Full Throttle, and (because I lost my copy five years ago) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis definitely qualify, however.
On that note, I got the (quite cheap) Commander Keen Steam pack so that I could get Keen 5 (the only Keen game I didn't have on floppy disk, Keen Dreams excepted, and I have that one as full shareware since you don't need to register to play the whole game), and found that the built-in DOSBox version they have that Stream launches just crashes. I only got it working by running the program with my normal install of DOSBox. At least they let you do that and put the whole folders there so you can just copy it into a more convenient folder (that is, in a subfolder of my DOS programs folder)...
As for System Shock 2... huh, nope, don't have the demo here, can't check that right now. It worked fine on my old computer though, though demos aren't always representative of how full versions will run (examples of that fact: Zone 66 (shareware: works fine in WinME; full: extremely uncompatible and demands a special no-TSRs boot) and Recoil (demo: always worked fine; full: major issues on some PCs)).
Quote:After Bioshock I have an interest in the System Shock games. Here's hoping Bioshock's popularity leads that company to rerelease those two. The first one's a DOS game it seems so they'll likely be lazy about that and just DOSBox it (a common move these days) and send it up on Steam that way.
