It would be easier for me to list the ones I have finished or haven't even loaded yet.

Finished Games

Army Men I
Battlefield 1942

Not loaded yet

Baldur's Gate II
Fallout 2
Soul Reaver
Planescape Torment
Serious Sam Second Encouter
Neverwinter Nights
Homeworld: Cataclysm
Decent 3

I have over twenty games loaded that I haven't even finished yet, Baldur's Gate is the oldest one, loaded in 1999 and still have taken the time to finish it.

Septerra Core. I'm near the end but I can't get myself to re-install the game and load from my old saved games.

I didn't finish AOM, WC3, Unreal2, Hitman2, GTA3, and a few others that I've been distracted from. I did finish Generals though.

You're in for a real treat with Fallout 2. That is simply the best game ever made.

I've beaten every PC game I've bought. Of course, I don't often get new games.:p

Just sit down for about 4 hours, you'll beat it guaranteed. :p

I'm sure I probably could polish it off in a few hours, problem is I don't want to :p :D. Got done with the first level and got bored as hell with it.

I tend to beat every game I get, unless its totally boring or just too damn hard.

Games I have yet to finish:
Battle Realms - Its a good game and all, but it just takes forever
Black and White - Same as above
Zelda Ocarina of time - I dont see the big deal. Im bored to death in the water temple.
