Below I gathered lists of games in two types: FOSS (free and open source) and commecial.
🎮FOSS Games
The FOSS term means not only no cost, but also Freedom, so:
– ability to learn, mod, fork, change or develop, copy, redistribute it – as much as you like or can (following License).
This not only deserves an own category but also needs to be above the commercial type, as it serves humanity, not companies’ profits.
Videos from few FOSS games are in my FOSS Games Playlists.
In below list I gather most genres and most notable games in each (IMO biggest in bold). There are many games here which I didn’t play.
For all games I am also adding link to its sources repository (repo).

🎮Games
Here is a list of quite old commercial games I played and I think are worth mentioning. I rarely play any now, but still like watching videos.
I’ve gathered videos from them (and many others) in my Games Playlists.
- Car simulation
Richard Burns Rally gone bankrupt, yet still active as RSF RBR
Re-Volt still active as RVGL with plenty tracks and vehicles
Colin McRae Rally 04, Carmageddon 2 - FPS
Crysis, UT2004 (lots of maps, my playlist), Quake III Arena
Quake, still active, my playlist with maps - Various and 2D
Noita (videos), Trine 2 (video), Magicka, Legend of Grimrock II,
Jets’n’Guns, Gish, World of Goo, Crazy Machines 1 and 2 - ARPG: Path of Exile (utter waste of time, gambling infested, colorful vending machine with vacuum cleaner type of gameplay),
Titan Quest (at least had an end, yet many DLCs after)
My channel with few game videos is here (mostly my old PoE hideouts) - Longplays of old 90s games.
Many grouped in my playlists by type:
D&D, FPS, platformers, platformer puzzle, puzzle, racing, shooters, varioius (RPG). E.g.:
Platformers: Fury Of The Furries, Fire and Ice, The Lost Vikings, Commander Keen 4, Rick Dangerous II, Sonic 3,
Eye of the Beholder II (D&D), Tyrian 2000, Raptor, Xenon 2, The Incredible Machine 2, BC Racers, etc.
Dune 2 a very old RTS, had mods super-dune-ii-classic, dune-2-extended, and many reimplementations e.g. Dune2 TGP, Dune2 The Maker (FOSS), etc.
