serpantino: When I think cult I think games that didn't do that well commercially on their initial release but have a strong fanbase... stuff like Sacrifice, Nox and Beyond Good & Evil.
Going by that definition:
Planescape, Arcanum, Temple of Elemental Evil, Outcast, Divine Divinity, Sanitarium, Giants, Psychonauts, Beyond Good & evil, Sacrifice, Evil Genious, Gothic, Arx Fatalis, Little Big Adventure, The Last Express, Advent Rising & Perimeter.
Cult status come from cultists... Lots of them around here.
I understand cult games as games that,at the time,were overlooked by the general public.like PS:T


also random video of the day:

Settlers 2. Duke 3D (at least, it was until DNF got.....spawned). Theme Hospital! Total Annihilation, probably....Tyrian is probably able to squeak inside a "Cult" status, too.
I'd say the Build Engine games

Blood
Duke 3D
Redneck Rampage
Shadow Warrior ( waiting for that game to show up ;) )

Licurg: Sacrifice ,HOMM, Duke Nukem, Darklands, Freespace, Beneath a Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Messiah, erm... think these are it.
You're missing a couple, Arcanum and Planescape: Torment for example, but that's a good starting list.

The original or the remake?:)
Games in BATTLE ISLE PLATINUM pack have cult status, if you're a turn based strategy games fan.

l0rdtr3k: speaking of cult games,there are several that are not on GOG, sorry for asking but which ones do you people want here?
In this respect, seems to have a large following of System Shock 1 & 2.
