Swap the grand theft auto and carrier command for Elite and Command and Conquer and I would agree
 
In definite agreement on Civ 4, and Elite.

Will also add...

Gran Turismo - PS
Brian Lara Cricket (99) - PS
and also an early F1 on the playstation, prob 96, purely for the comedy commentary. There you are, concentrating as hard as you can, and you've just gotten your Ligier into 2nd, you're slip streaming Schumacher, concentrating fully, when Murray Walker comes out with "He's right up tight behind, pushing hard!" Cue much giggling, and back down to 22nd!
 
What springs to mind...

Mazogs (ZX81)
Elite (C64)
Goldeneye (N64)
Banjo Kazooie (N64)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
Mario 64 (N64)
Paradroid (C64)
Zelda And The Twilight Princess (Wii)
