TOTAL ANNIHILATION
Mechwarrior series (please please please make sure to include the soundtrack from MW2:Mercs)
Wing Commander series
System Shock series
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (and appropriate series)
I wanna say it was called DeathRace (it was essentially a pick-a-car, a Hot Wheels track, and race/blow-stuff-up game when the FMV was still new tech)
KOTOR
Blade Runner (never got to play it!)
Deus Ex
Anachronox (i never actually beat it, but the alien language was cool?)
ROGER WILCO SERIES
RIVEN
RED FACTION
And semi-interested:
Duke Nuke'em
RoT (Rise of the Triad)
Sim City series (at least 2k)
any of those crazy old hovercraft racing games (the flying hovercraft, not the ones that sit on the inflated skirt mind you)

Ok, it was hard to find anything missing from the lists here, but I found some (and was surprised by a couple).
Firstly, I must once again mention The Journeyman Project series, though it has been mentioned before. They are collectively my "Best Game of All Time", so would love to see them here. Actually it would be even more amazing if GOG were somehow able to convert the JP1 remake 'Pegasus Prime' to work on XP/Vista, as it was only released for the Mac.
Anyway, on to the exclusives:
Conquest - Frontier Wars
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Evil Genius
Republic: The Revolution
Can't believe no one mentioned the last two (according to the Search function anyway). In any case, I hope we hear about more publishers coming on board, as I'm having fun so far :).
Adios.

A few DOS/Win9x-era games:
Armored Fist 2 (Novalogic)
The retail version doesn't work in Vista any more and configuring DosBox for it is a pain. Would love to see a GOG reworked version of this.
F-19 Stealth Fighter (Microprose)
Still the only proper stealth flight game there is. Was originally released for the Amiga and Atari ST, but there was also a DOS version (which I have) so presumably GOG could sell that if they could get the rights
Blood Money (Publisher: Psygnosis, Developer: DMA Design)
Another Amiga/Atari ST game. Wikipedia says there's a DOS version but I've never come across it. Brilliant arcade shooter from the developer which would later be renamed Rockstar North. In other words, this is the first game ever made by the devs that created Grand Theft Auto. Worth putting on GOG for its historical value as well as the brilliant gameplay.
Team Apache (Publisher: Mindscape, Developer: Simis)
Late-90s helicopter game that managed to tow the line between arcade and simulation quite well. Even managed an early version of squadron morale management. Another Win95/98-era game which won't work on Vista without the black magic of GOG's team.

Hi!
Currently I don't have many games on my mind. Actually I would only wish for "Redline - Gang Warfare: 2066" ;) I don't really know if this is a "brilliant" or "very bad" game. I've played this a lot when I was young, and it would be nice to play it again.

The games I would most want to purchase through GOG, playable under Windows XP, would be:
Star Control 1
Star Control 2
Star Control 3 (especially 3)
Archon
Archon Ultimate
M.U.L.E.
Magic Carpet
Dungeon Keeper
The Horde
Hex (the Mark Of The Unicorn game)
These I would instantly lay down money for. Instantly. Without a second thought.
