***Abandonware!!***
The Underdogs is now found at www.the-underdogs.info . The links in this post don't work if they are linked to the underdogs, but this list is still here for reference.

1/16 Added Lamborghini: American Challenge, Natuk, Abandonwarering.com, Master of Magic, Emperor of the Fading Sun
Alright there are a number of incredible, old, games on these sites, and I want to create a list of those that are available and worth downloading. I've been led to these two sites over and over by the Codex to play some of my favorite games.
www.the-underdogs.org
www.abandonia.com
New sites:
http://www.abandonwarering.com
http://www.agamesroom.com/page/faq - Specialized in Lucasarts/Sierra Adventure Games
http://dso.zidev.com/downloads.html
http://liberatedgames.com/ - Specializes in source code releases
Recommended Games
Just a note: Abandonia usually gets me much, much faster download speeds, but I'm not sure if they have the same selection as underdogs. They seem to have quite a few though, so I'm going to be providing links to Abandonia. However, the reviews on the Abandonia pages are sometimes very stupid. For example, the reviewer gave a pretty low score Doom (which isn't downloadable there anyways).
If a game is available on Underdogs but not Abandonia (like the System Shocks) then I'll link to Underdogs.
Also: You need DosBox to play a lot of the games.
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
Anyways, I'm going to create a list, and you guys let me know about games they have and I'll edit this first post. Maybe if we get enough the thread will be worth a sticky.
If there are any games that you think should be added or removed from the list, say so. Also, the selection isn't limited to these two sites. If there are any others (like the Ur-Quan Masters site), definitely let me know. It also might be worthwhile to add a separate section for things like game soundtracks and such. I will say when this post has been edited with new games and such in the thread title and mark them.
Always go to the bottom of the download pages to see if there are special instructions on how to get it to work
Not Sure What Category-
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
Uncharted Waters -New
Pirates! Gold
Reunion
Star Control 2
The Ur-Quan Masters: It is probably more worthwhile to get this, which is a Windows adaptation of the 3DO version of Star Control 2, than the original PC version.
Space Hulk
Adventure-
Discworld
Discworld 2
Beneath a Steel Sky
KGB
Fable (Note: read his instructions on how to make it work in DosBox, pretty simple)
King's Quest: Quest for the Crown VGA
King's Quest 2: Romancing Stones VGA
Death Gate (This one is based off a series of books called Death Gate Cycle. It's pretty interesting even if you haven't read them. Brought back memories for me, at least. You should try it out, just to check out the magic system.)
4X-
Emperor of the Fading Sun
Master of Magic
Colonization
Civilization 2
Settler's 2 Gold
Supremacy/Overlord
Turn Based Strategy-
Fantasy General
X-Com: Enemy Unknown
X-Com: Terror from the Deeps
X-Com: Apocalypse
Jagged Alliance
Natuk
Fighting-
One Must Fall: 2097
Puzzle-
Arkanoid
Racing-
Death Ralley
Stunts
Ignition
Lamborghini: American Challenge
RTS-
Dune 2 To get around the copy protection you need this text file: http://www.destinys-darlin.com/play/dune/dune2/d2hints.txt
RPG-
Betrayal at Krondor
Albion
System Shock
System Shock 2
Anvil of Dawn
Realms of Arkania: Star Trail
Darklands
The Elder Scrolls: Arena
Eye of the Beholder 3
Dungeon Master (With a screenshot of Section 8's avatar)
Simulation-
Hind: Russian Combat Helicopter Simulation
FPS-
Blood
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Tactical Shooter
Seal Team
Third-Person Shooter
Crusader: No Regret
Crusader: No Remorse
Platformer-
Prince of Persia
Flashback
Zeliard
Soundtracks
Blue Laguna's MP3s
This site has very fast download speeds and the soundtracks to a huge number of games, mostly jRPGs but not limited to them at all.
VG Mix
Overclocked Remix
These two sites do remixes. A lot of them are crap, but there are also many that are well done and worth listening to even if you've never heard the source material.

Your forgetting Tyrian 2000. Possibly the best 2D aircraft game aside from Raiden
