If you ever need some reasons for being a PC gamer...

This site provides some grand lists of games released each year for PC starting with exclusives, then moving to multiplatform titles, by year. There are also separate sections for freeware and mods by year. The lists include a title, picture, link, and brief description. They are pretty spectacular reference guides.

A year by year breakdown of significant PC games is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, they only go back to 2006.

I've got a poster with the weapons of FPS's from 1990 to 2000 on my wall, I can use that to fill in some gaps for you.

Thank you for that, very cool rundown. I must've played just about all of those games in the early 90's. Good times.
