This thread is closed, please visit the new thread run by Grargar for the latest lists.
========================================
Sometimes gaming time is a very limited part of one's overall time, and to that end I often like games that can be completed in roughly two to five hours, give or take. To that end I would like to solicit your feedback on games which can be completed in one dedicated sitting, and which are also worth the effort.
I have unplayed ones which supposedly meet these requirements, but I can't verify yet that they are worth the time to play.
Anyway, please feel free to suggest any that you feel belong on this list. I've omitted titles which in my experience may take longer, or which are episodic rather than complete, or which are multiplayer skirmishes rather than full games. I have also (mostly) excluded shmups, which tend to be short-ish games by their very nature.
Here is the list so far. Bolded titles are available on GOG, as well as included on the GOGmix that accompanies this thread.
