This is a really interesting list. BTW, don't forget to click through to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games_with_later_released_source_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games...
IMO, some of the most important/interesting games on this list are (in no particular order):
* Colossal Cave Adventure
* Zork
* Habitat
* SimCity
* Doom and its various incarnations.
* Quake
* Balance of Power
* Civilization IV -- Wow, this one was a surprise to me! I'm gonna poke around with it some.
* Civilization V -- Also a surprise.
* Elite
* Unreal, and its various incarnations
* Eliza
* Oregon Trail
* Akalabeth: World of Doom
* Empire (paging @WalterBright). I remember spending a lot of hours on this one. :-)
* Pac Man
* Pole Position
* Wizardry III
Maybe I've missed a few, but these are the ones that stood out to me.
