best old/cheap games?

[General Twinkletoes]

well, title says, your favorite old/cheap game
mine would probably have to Jedi outcast, even tho i haven't played it in ages it was so fun. What's yours?

 

[ThePirateMan]

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Just.. one.. more.. turn

 

[JemothSkarii]

Mine would either be Dungeon Keeper (For it's creativity and pimp smacking ability) or Wild 9 (smacking enemies on the ground over and over again is so fun.

 

[Batfred]

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Just.. one.. more.. turn

Any Civ. I see your "Just.. one.. more.. turn" and raise you a "Just... ten... more... years".

 

[jaykikass]

Rome total war every time, with Europa Barbaroum its even better..

 

[darth.pixie]

Zork. It gets no love.

Let's see... of old games?

While there are many I like, if I named anything except Planescape: Torment, it would feel wrong.

So yes. PS:T. If you haven't played it, do so.

Ah Jedi Outcast brings back good memories, actually had a clan where we played and trained that nonstop, best part was when you got really good at multiplayer people couldn't kill you even if they ganged up on you, so awesome

But my top is Deus Ex, still consider it one of the very best games ever, they just did everything right and I hope the next one can get atleast close to that.

 

[Fawful]

Deus Ex, you can get it for $10 AUS now. EDIT: Ninja'd. I HAVE [sub](zero)[/sub] FURY!!!

I've also seen PC copies of Mirrors Edge for $4. seriously.

Old games? How old, exactly? X-x
Pretty sure this has been done before, but ehh...

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge for the Xbox 1.
Under $5.
Best flying game I know of.

Also, since the third game is FINALLY coming out ( still indecisive about getting The Third Birthday though, especially after the trailers :/ ), Parasite Eve is a hidden gem, mixing real-time combat with RPG elements, and a B-Movie plot. I found my copy a few years ago for ~15 bucks, so yeah. Too bad PE2 just plain sucked... they tried too hard to copycat the Resident Evil games, and just ended up failing at all kinds of levels >.<

Finally, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath... I cannot stress enough just how badass Oddworld Inhabitants' last game was. The main character is badass, the crossbow weapon ( which fires living ammo - LIVING, BREATHING MUNITIONS, PEOPLE!! ) is awesome to the nth degree, and the story has a nice big twist that you might see coming from a mile away, but it's still crazy @___@

Pirates! I'm older than you and my old games are from the eighties.
More modern games would be X-Com, Jagged Alliance 2, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, The Longest Journey, and Beyond Good and Evil. All available on either Steam or GOG. No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 are great but I don't know where you'd find them.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Neverwinter Nights (PC), one of my favorite RPG's of all time.

 

[Layz92]

Baldur's Gates, Planescape torment and for a cheap game Mirror's edge. Not the most epic game but it is unique and I got it for 4 dollars, (aus) new, in a hardcopy.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Oh yeah Pirates! still love to play that game. Incredibly awesome.
And Wing Commander need more love. Best Game/Interactive movie series ever

 

[SilverUchiha]

StarFox 64. I remember buying it for $6 once. Great deal.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Exile 3 and Blade of Exile (which is now open source, but won't work on my computer).

Also, Nethergate and the Avernum remake of Exile...eh, jsut anything from Spiderweb, really.

 

[Bloodastral]

Master of Magic & Chaos Gate

 

[luckshotpro]

I just recently picked up Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Prince of Persia the Sands of Time from a local place called Games Exchange. They're really great.

 

[ThePirateMan]

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Just.. one.. more.. turn

Any Civ. I see your "Just.. one.. more.. turn" and raise you a "Just... ten... more... years".

Well, the one more turn syndrome repeats itself infinite times.

You can not win.

Surrender.
