I don't own all of these games (I don't have Doom, Quake, any of the Looking Glass or Sir-Tech games, Fallout II, Half-Life, BG2: ToB, Wipeout XL, Rollcage, Sam and Max, or Alpha Centauri) but I know they are good enough to be in this list.

And most of the non-numbered games, of course.

So... what am I missing... :)
