You've hit a lot of the good ones. I think Thief was DOS. Then there's Worms, Quake, Syndicate, Mech Warrior 2, Unreal, Carmageddon, SimCity, Descent, Blood, Redneck Rampage, Star Wars: Dark Forces, King's Quest, Prince of Persia, Lemmings and more I can't think of right now.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Uh, Ascendancy was cool. I wrote a nice hack editor to change the makeup of planets
