Red Alert, Half-Life, Arcanum, EverQuest, Gex, GoldenEye 007, Sam 'n' Max, Donky Kong Country (all 3), Final Fantasy 7 and 8.
Also liked a lot of HL mods like CS and DoD. Oh, and that cool SRC one where you play as aliens vs humans and evolve...
Edit: Tribes. And C&C.Generals...and Nox.
Are you able to get Arcanum to run on Windows 10+ or Linux? My nostalgia sense wants to do another playthrough or 10 but every time I try it just ... won't work.
I got it on Steam if that helps. There usually isn't comparability issues released on there and anything from XP to 11 seems fine. No mention of Linux.

I have it on Steam as well but I just cannot get it to load.
Not sure. I had no issues on 11. If it's happening in Linux and Win,.I'm guessing it more hardware related. Try disconnecting any additional monitors, installing to another disk, that kinda stuff. I was going to suggest making a new Win profile and signing into that—I've had that fix launching old games—but dunno if that'll help.
