Is anyone aware if a list of Tandy 1000 Games exists? I mean to say, a list of games which are playable on and/or take particular advantage of the Tandy 1000 sound & graphics?

If someone curates such a list, I'd really like to see it.

Not that i've really seen, but Sierra games would be the best bet. Also, the wiki page lists a number of them:

As well, theres some stuff here:

Speaking of Vogons, their site is as bad as their poetry. Just WTF is up with the weird low-contrast color scheme? I'm partially blind, but I'd have trouble reading that site even with full vision.


It's a strain to try reading their text, I'm really not sure what they are thinking.
 
A few years ago, I came across a site devoted to the IBM XT in particular, that had a strong focus on games - does anyone recall the site? It was run by a single person, not a forum, just this dude enthusing over the XT.

Wish I could find it, if it's still in operation. Must be in the wayback I'd think.

Trixter put most of his energy into mobygames.com -- which, conveniently, can answer the OP's question exactly:
