Only if by "most games" you mean Win32 3D games. Your references do not contain even a single 16-bit/DOS (or even Win32 2D ) title.
BTW Dionb has given a detailed and differentiated description about the performance characteristics of K6 -2/3.
(K6-2+ Questions)
Your much more simplistic answer has not added any more useful info to that.

But these are still "most games", except for a few titles that don't use 3D acceleration. I think it added a lot of info because it is clear how efficient the K6-2/III + is compared to Intel processors as asked by the author of this thread. What 16-bit/DOS titles are you talking about?

Nope, you can see that P6 microarchitecture outperforms the K6plus on these benchmarks you posted even though isn't clock per clock and "few titles" is quite misleading as there are more early Windows games (including casual ones) that doesn't necessarily use 3D acceleration, for example the original Age of Empires I and II.

Besides the K6plus CPUs came around 2000 which is later than the PII and early PIIIs.

What's yours point? Will AoE run faster on K6+ CPU's or what?

In that case I just pointing out that there are more 2D Windows games than you think. 😉 Age of Empires games runs fine on both K6plus and P6 based CPUs.

No way... I thought there were maybe 5 or 6 2D windows games. I am grateful for this information 😁
