Looking for older games (that are good)

[Induhvidual_1]

my system is like 2-3 years old (as far as i know it can handle up to wcIII pretty well but then again thats not much) and it simply can't handle that newfangled high graphical blah blah, (and i aint gonna fork out a couple hundred dollars to get another just yet)

any recommendations for older games for the pc that are good/fun? (dont recommend things like starcraft, diablo, hl, aoe cuz i've already played those heh)

for the time being i'm playing ff8 on the pc...

What kind of game (s) are you looking for? RPG FPS..etc?

 

[Dragnskull]

wow, spooky, thats what my brothers doing too...

hes lookin for any type of videogame that is worth lookin at (from fps to rpg, doesnt matter) that is a few years old...

and whats stranger, is hes tries out that EXACT list of games...

but hes not playing FF atm...

 

[Master.America]

Try Heroes of Might and Magic III. That one was fun, and it'll run well on any system. It's a turn-based strategy game.

eh i'll play anything that works (and is remotely good), single player games would be nice since i haven't played one in a while.

 

[PauseBreak]

try out Delta force, that one is good.
you have to try Rogue Spear. Old-school game, but many many hours of play. and there are A LOT of mods for it. NATO is the best

Medal of Honour Allied Assult, Breakthrough and Spearhead great FPS game , Based on history events.

 

[CerebralChain]

Duke Nukem is always fun. :shoot :ufo

if this wasnt the comp section... i would suggest some good old console games

"ff series" "ICO" "any 007 game"

but since its comp games...

how about civilization

you can play that forever...

 

[Ashigaru]

Planescape: Torment- good rpg but good luck finding it.
FF 3&7- Perhaps the best FF games ever, 3 is for snes but you can download the rom

RED FACTION

Game Pwns ass and still has a very alive multiplayer

if you wanna go back really far try desent great game
or get a pc version of StarLancer. That game was ungodly

 

[Sogeking]

freelancer if you find a good server

 

[Darkmatter]

Total Annihlation.
Duke Nukem.
DooM I and II.
Army Men in Space.
Army Men II.

About sums the list up. Especially play Duke Nukem games. Total Meltdown version preferably. That game is pretty graphic. Blood, sex, nudity, guns, basically everything. The graphics aren't ''TEH HELLA GOOD!'' but they're pretty nice for it's time.

Dungeon Siege and expansion
Neverwinter Nights and exapansions

oooh rpgs... is there multiplayer? (and is it free, cuz i'm just a poor to-be college student...)

(kinda sad, these are some of the only ones i've actually heard about somewhere else, i do faintly remember)

 

[Darkmatter]

NWN is definately free from what I've seen. I'm not asure about Dungeon Siege though. NWN is awesome though, I used to play it a lot before I bought Diablo II. Big Mistake there. -_-

 

[Auron]

Dungeon Siege does have its online play but Neverwinter Nights has a way better online play.

Neverwinter Nights has a site where there are online games are schedule and there are lots of games that aren't schedule.

There is also thousands of Modules out there for Neverwinter Nights such as whole new campaigns.
