The website 3DGamers.com used to have all released games by year and category from 1995 on.. until the site went down a few years ago. This was great because I could search all games for a certain year and look through the game categories of my choice.. First person, Side Scrollers, Third Person, Top Down, Puzzle games, etc..

Lets say I wanted to go back to 2004 and search all games released to find an FPS game I had missed. I could do that.

Does anyone know where I could find such a complete list that's categorized nicely like that?

I find Gamespot is close but even they do not list all games.

Does steam have listings of non steam games? An do they go far back to 98 and up?.. I am looking for some really old games I may have missed.

Edit:

Just came from Steam. Their list isn't any better than Gamespot's.. it's not a complete list.. just stuff they sell and it doesn't go back very far.

All games ever? I doubt anyone have a list like that.

EDIT: What about Gamefaqs?

Yeah.. 3Dgamers had such a list.. best I ever saw.. all games released in North America or Europe.

I can try Gamfaqs but I think they are the same people as Gamespot.. I know thiewr forums are the same.. if you post on one, the exact post shows up on the other.. as if they clone the forums for each other.

I did come across a neat You Tube FPS video series by Balgorg called The History of FPS Games vol 1 through 29. It covers FPS games from 1974 through 2004. ( Don't ask me what FPS game they had back in '74.. I didn't see that one yet and you can be sure it wasn't on PC)

Here's a link to # 29.. check his video list for the rest.

I have only seen # 19 so far and it had a few I had never heard of for PC, like Legends of Might and Magic, Axis, and Codename Outbreak. Worth looking up.
