Isn't Q3A major? Aren't the Linux versions of other games major?
And what about Doom? Most of the forks of id's Doom source code (and
virtually all of the Linux-targeted ones) are built with GCC tools.

One of the Doom forks (DOSDoom IIRC) was ported to DJGPP + Allegro.
And what about the emulator ZSNES? When I start ZSNES from plain DOS
on a new machine, I get the "Load error: no DPMI; get csdpmi*b.zip"
message, a telltale sign of being "Made With DJGPP."
How many *major* games were produced for SNES/Super Famicom?

Isn't SMB more popular than NFS? :-)
