I've owned five out of the ten on that list. Though I must say I'm dissapointed not to see Baldur's Gate on there.
    Secret of Monkey Island
    Doom
    Sim City 2000
    Command and Conquer
    Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

Same. Black and White and KOTOR are definitely not retro.

I've owned/played...

Doom
Sim City 2000 (well, all of them)
C&C (although I actually had Red Alert so not the original)
Half Life
Duke Nukem 3D (that isn't on the list though)
Monkey Island
Black and White

Four. Duke Nuken isn't on the list. They explained at the end why it wasn't included.

4 then

I have to agree that some I would not count as retro

what about
Elite
X wing
Pac Man

I think retro should be DOS based or maybe max of Win 95
