Wikipedia also has some lists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_PC_games
but - because they are broken up into subcategories - they're far less
accessible. It's a useful reference for those weirdos trying to
complete their DOS-game collection, though. It does list "Gorilla"
though, the QBasic game that came with MS-DOS which most other
compilations miss.

Less legitimately, https://www.myabandonware.com/ (and yes, it is a
naughty site, but it is a good reference too, as I've found it lists
some games - usually obscure shareware titles - that are missed
elsewhere.

But no list, I think, will ever be complete just because there was
such a wide-ranging community of shareware and freeware developers in
the 80s and 90s pumping out so many titles. Most only had the tiniest
distribution though - some never even making it out onto bulletin
boards, but only shared by passing floppies - and have since been lost
to time. So there will always be a few games missing from any list.

This project has the most complete collection of DOS and Windows 3.1
games available (but also naughty):
