They call them "forgotten". I remember them all, and I have a copy of Marathon (not the original) on my macOS 26 Mac

All great games, but what kind of “Best Games of The 90’s” list fails to mention the awesomeness that is SimCity 2000? :o

It's specifically Mac exclusives on that list.
I'm by no means a gamer, but I had 5 of the 7.
The best star wars games were the LucasArts Xwing and Tie Fighter from '94 and '97.
I recently stumbled on the XWVM mod, which updates the graphics engine, but keeps pretty much everything else (including the amazing audio engine).
I still play a bunch of games from the '90s, Starcraft, Warcraft II, F-19 Stealth Fighter, Xwing, Tie Fighter, Xwing vs. Tie Fighter, Wing Commander III, Wing Commander IV, Diablo II, the early Fallouts. Good Old Games has all the emulation settings packed up for me.

The best Star Wars game was Galaxy Quest.
Wait, wrong franchise.
I respectfully disagree, but really only because fast twitch FPS make me nauseous to play.
In the "fly your ship" genre, nothing's come close to the original from '94, IMO (and I've tried them all, battlefront, squadron, rebel assault).

I like Elite Dangerous; but obviously not SW themed.
