I can't name them all, but I think I can get about 75% of them.

The ones I'm pretty sure I'm missing are primarily some of the driving games and some of the shmups.

Looking at the ones sevin didn't name...

32 is Cannon Fodder. 44 and 73 look like Sensible Soccer. 83 is Life Force. 88 is Pokémon. 92 is Populous.

Meh, too small.
