There isn't a "list", per-se... here is your best bet (and its not really what your looking for but its closer than nothing)...

Paul Keith:
Not quite the same but this distro claims to have most Linux games pre-installed.

It doesn't have stuff like WesternQuake but it's a bit more convenient for those who don't really care for games like WoW: http://live.linux-gamers.net/?s=games

Found it on Download Squad: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/01/11/20-awesome-free-os-downloads-that-arent-windows-7/

Wow. I hope those games work on Ubuntu. :)

Paul Keith:
Lol, zridling you're certainly in a thankful mood today dude. Anything happened? I saw you also thanked someone in another thread.

Deozaan, they all work in pretty much any Linux distro as far as I know. A few may take some source tinkering like UFO:AI which I didn't find in Synaptic when I was playing with Mint at around Celena time but most of those are like the only games in Linux.

There's stuff like WesternQuake like I said but they are few and far between and these is pretty much "THE" list of Linux games.

I'm sort of disappointed that LinuxMint.com is down again because I thought it's software portal used to have all the rarer games like WesternQuake.
