Catshade: I want to mention NFS series, too...but I guess it will be difficult (and expensive) to secure the car licenses.

Navagon: We've learned our lesson here. No more licensed car games, please.

Wraith: Don't forget Wasteland.

That's with Inxile now.

Holy shit, EA actually SOLD a license?

Ages ago, by the looks of it. It was with Interplay who then sold it as a part of their self-saving massive IP sale.
Has anyone said Fade to Black yet? Well that one too.

Yeah FTB & Flashback are both listed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Electronic_Arts_games
speaking of lists. A quick find in IE (and presumably other hbrowsers) highlights any games for dos & windows
and no saying "Yeah we'll have that list"
I've added
Freedom Force
Future Cop L.A.P.D.

you know, looking through that list, EA have a lot less great old games than i expected... but i don't know if the list includes the IP's they've gained by buying studios, but never used.

Good point. While I want it on GOG, the point of the list is to show them the money they're not making
I've added these:
NOX
Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, Nuclear Strike
Shogun Total War (Warlord Edition)
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Expansion
688 Attack Sub
Abrahms Battle Tank
Adventure Construction Set
Centurion: Defender of Rome
Noctropolis
Shadowcaster

The list isn't comprehensive (some origin games aren't on there for example) or even right all the time, played a few of the games listed as exclusive for a console I never owned. Also a major chunk of their best games were 8 & 16 bit era and so a lot bypassed the PC

Well, you listed the most important ones already. Personally only insta buy for me would be Ultima IX: Ascension - Dragon Edition (Includes Ultima 0 - IX) or Complete Ultima Collection (U0-IX, Savage Empire & Maritian Dreams, Ultima Underworlds I&II) for 9.99$. I'd even be willing to gift few of those.
Beside those there's:
Populous series
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri & Alien Crossfire
Sim City series
Strike series (Desert Strike, Jungle Strike and Nuclear Strike)
Starflight I&II
Dungeon Keeper I&II
Magic Carpet 1&2
Battlezone II: Combat Commander
Space Rogue
Jade Empire (hey, it's old enough (2005))
I'm sure there's much more but it's difficult to track down all EA takeovers and IP aquisitions
Posted September 02, 2009
I think Jade Empire still belongs to 2KGames. Just as KOTOR belongs to Lucasarts.

Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth, it may not be the oldest game but anyone that likes rts should play this game.
Theme park.

Theme park.

Agreed on BFME. Plus, it's licensed from the book which might be more forgiving than a movie license. Theme Park... ah, the memories!

soulgrindr: Undying

Hell yeah! I forgot about that one.

Delixe: I think Jade Empire still belongs to 2KGames. Just as KOTOR belongs to Lucasarts.

Yeah, Jade Empire is very much a 2K game.

Well the IP isn't as far as I can see but yes, as they were the distributor for PC version, they are one of the parties that would need to agree before JE could be offered in GOG :( Damn. Bioware is not even the developer of the PC version it seems, the LTI Gray Matter made the port. Double Damn
