Lots of clicking done and know list is complete from Mobygames view there are missing:
- games which are not on Mobygames
- 50-100 games which have not on Mobygames Dos version screenshots

If there would be some volunteers, it would be nice to add some genre column (hint lots of Golf games..), im done with it, or year of publishing or some average review scores etc..

Update: I added more info to first post.

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

... Games after 1995 only

System Shock was released in 1994 and does offer a SVGA mode.

A column for the release date and the used VESA version (1.0, 1.2, 2.0 with LFB, 3.0) would be very helpful.

If you read the context of the post, it was in reference of Build's vesa capabilities, not SVGA games overall. 1995's build games all had older code predating the VESA2 implementation

Eric The Unready doesn't use 640x480 @ 256 colors. Cut-scenes are standard VGA and gameplay is 640x480 @ 16 colors (at least the disk version, I haven't played the CD version).

I will say that Links386 can play up to 1600x1200 if you have a monitor and graphic card that supports it. But it will not scale, so as you increase resolution, the window shrinks more and more. They fixed this in LinksLS. This game also plays up to 1600x1200 but in normal full screen. I actually have both of these set up on my DOS PC right now, so I can confirm this. I was also a world-ranked player of both of these games back in the day.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
