I've updated the list, I'm also happy to add Borderlands has been moved to working with Windows 8. (Requires a patch to work, but thats exactly what should be expected)

Hi RualStorge, thanks for sharing.
Being an Old Timer, I lean more to the Old timer's games.
The card games from Windows XP work just fine on Win8, IF, you copy them along with Cards.ddd and put them in a folder and make a shortcut to the desktop. I like Solitaire, but Hearts works too.
Then I have a 22 year old game, MahJongg, that came out on a single Floppy Disk. It's a DOS, 16 bit program, but loads and runs on W8/32 just fine, but not on W8/64. While installing it on W8/32, the OS did stop and ask me if I wanted to Activate 16 bit support.....as soon as I clicked OK, the install continued. It's my favorite game.
So, there's three more you can add to your list.

MahJongg (1990)
