what pc game should i get

[ghostsprite9]

i sure this has been done before but i couldnt find it

in my friendly neighbourhood game store there are A LOT of old pc games that say 3 for £10 so i thought why not i had a look and i couldn't pick

im not looking for games like fallout 3 or bioshock im looking for games like thief 2 or
far cry 1 or maybe system shock/2 somthing almost like old school i want to get into the pc gaming thing but my computers rubish so anything done in the last 4/5 years or so not would be counted

somthing like fallout 1/2 or maybe kotor

deus ex=GREATEST GAME EVAR!!!! seriously it is. if you can get ss2 running its an awesome game, but getting it running on xp or later is a pain in the ass. half life and hlpposing force (opfor) are good choices if you havent played them. finally, clive barkers undying is an awesome game (dont assosiate it with jericho, undying is quite good). just to name a few, there are literally hundreds of good older pc games out there, and on that note you might want to check out good ols games www.gog.com

Call of Duty 2
Rogue Trooper
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 or 2
UFO Aftermath, or Aftershock (never played Afterlife)
Civilisation I & II

You dishonour it greatly with poor spelling, capitals for the second part and not for the name of the game, and 4 exclamation marks.

Call of Duty 2 (or possibly Call of Duty 1 if your computer's really that bad).
I also heartily recommend the original Day of Defeat, and the original Counter Strike.

Oh, and House of the Dead 2.

 

[hurlzie]

some good recommendations of games worth revisiting. (if i can get them working on vista)
keep them coming please...

Fallout 1&2

Command and Conquer Red Alert. I played that game so much when I was a kid.

Obviously you should get the game I like best and disregard your obvious preference for RPG's and shooters.

Isn't it obvious?

Problems running old games?

http://www.virtualbox.org/ + Windows 98 = problem solved.

Deus Ex. It'll run like a dream on virtually any computer made this millennium, and is still better than 95% of modern stuff.

Monkey Island 3 The Curse of Monkey Island

Ecstatica

Little Big Adventure 2

Command and Conquer Red Alert. I played that game so much when I was a kid.

Can't you download that for free from EA?

I did, but it may have been a limited time, pre Red Alert 3 opportunity.

Beyond Good and Evil.

Well I just recently got Deus Ex, Fallout Collection (which is Fallout 1,2, and tactics) and Morrowind for £16 from GAME, and I thought I did pretty well I'd reccomend the lot of them (Deus Ex was £1 believe it or not, Morrowind and Fallout was £15 when bought together), so I'd reccomend that lot, also you can get the Total War Games pretty cheap now and anything from their range are really good games (everything up to Medieval 2 has pretty low reccomended system specs).
