We don't always have the time needed to immerse ourselves on epic RPGs that will devour hours and hours of our time. Some times (or even many times), we just want a short game to have a blast with. The following list/mix should, hopefully, help you find a short game (up to 5 hours) to your liking.
That's not all, however, that you can do. You can also recommend other short games that you know (after all, the list/mix are user-generated) or you can dispute the entry of one of the games in the list/mix. As far as recommendations go, keep in mind the following:
1) Are you sure that the game in question can actually be completed in one day? I mean, Doom and Super Mario Bros can be completed pretty fast once you have gotten the hang of them, but how long did it actually take you till you were good enough to complete them that fast?
2) If the game isn't on GOG, please provide a storepage, so that others will know where to purchase the game. In the case that the game isn't digitally available anywhere, you may substitute it with a retail listing. In the rare case that the game isn't available either on retail or digitally, I will proceed to include it in an isolated list, alone and unloved. :P
The lists/mix can be found below. Games on GOG will get prioritized, since I'm obviously a GOG undercover staff member.
