Let me know if there are other games you would be interested in and I could contact the owners to the rights for them as well.
Do you know who owns the rights to: Jagged Alliance 2, Homeworld and Star Control II?
If there was enough interest in such thing I guess distros would get their own installers for the game data files. At least, I'd try to make them installable with Debian, I could ask the Debian games team about this.
I'm thinking about the ScummVM games. The original engine source wasn't released but the new one works very well.
Don't think it will be possible to get the rights to Lucasarts games. :) But Sierra and others might. Who owns the rights to these? "Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-5, ...), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia 1-3"
Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel Sky are both freely distributable and already included in several distributions. I don't know about the rights to the other games.
Doom 3: BFG is a new version right? Only for Steam perhaps?
I've sent an email to id Software anyway.

That's the thing - they released Doom 3: BFG purely as a Steam and console exclusive release, but they also put out the source code which allowed people to make a complete source port of the game (minus Steamworks integration) for other platforms. But you still need the Steam data to play ATM.
