I've made a similar reuqest on Steam and Gametap but for that particular era, Bullfrog made some of the greatest PC games. Syndicate and Syndicate Wars are to this day still some of my favorite games. Dungeon Keeper 2 is still high on my list of games that I replay when I get a nostalgic itch. Theme Hospital and Theme Park were two awesome alternatives to SimCity and were humerous to boot.
I know that EA is a fuddy-duddy with their classic games and it's a shame. With all the companies they inhaled (Origin, Bullfrog, Novalogic, etc) there are some timeless classics that old school gamers still love to play. I could sit here and pine about Microprose (long ago consumed by a flavor of Atari), Sir-Tech, Accolade, New World Computing (now Ubisoft) and classic Lucasarts (DOTT anyone? Full Throttle? Grim Fandango? The Dig?) and how awesome it would be to have all of those games but Bullfrog has a special place in my heart. I'm sure I'm not alone.
