  3 0 Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Civilization..3? probably would work, Dues Ex. Pretty much anything from about 10 years ago would work. Look up best of lists for around that time. Basil answered in Games about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Basil… 2 0 but seriously, Fallout 1 and 2. I cannot stress that enough.

  2 0 System Shock 1&2 perhaps (graphics are old and choppy), Baldur's Gates I & II, Fallout I and II, any of the Sierra adventure and Lucas Art adeventure titles, Diablo I&II, Starcrafts, Plainscape Torment, and non-WOW Warcrafts. Try gog.com to get a bunch of older games on download--they're cheap and set up to run on XP and other OSs. Pretty much everything I've listed is on there, and there are even some free games.

  1 0 Depends on how old and what kinds of games you like, but here are some old games that I liked way back when (in order from really old to only somewhat old)... Master of Orion Civilization 1, 2, and 3 (although civ 3 isn't ALL that old) Star Control 2 Diablo Baldur's Gate Sims 2 Grand Theft Auto 3 Call of Duty Urgutha Forka answered in Games about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 I'll second Deus Ex and Morrowind. GTA 3 is also great, and the GTAs previous to that one are good too, though I never played them. If you like shooters and are looking WAY back, Castle Wolfenstein 3D and Doom are classics. My favorite game from the early 90s was X-wing, a spaceflight combat simulator. No idea where one would find that one. Speaking of which, many of these are probably hard to find. You can get legit (and cheap) copies of many of these via Steam, just fyi. Also, last time I was at Half Price Books, there were a lot of older games for sale.

  0 0 Ditto on Diablo II and any of the Sierra Studios city builders. I think the series Pharaoh had the best art style and mood, but Zeus did the best job of marrying function with fun and humour. Of course, Sim City 4 and Starcraft I. My boyfriend also recently got hooked (again) on Deus Ex and I see it here, so something to add.

  0 0 Like everyone else, I don't know how old you're talking. My old PC, which ran Windows 98 and 2k but nothing more advanced, had three games that sucked up all my time: -Master of Orion 2 -Civilization 2 -Lemmings Another good thing for an old computer is to get a Super NES and Sega emulator, and play roms on it. I'm not sure exactly how legal that is, but the general consensus seemed to be that if you owned the cartridge, it was okay to play the rom. I doubt anyone cares these days about old SNES roms, but it still is technically a copyright violation.

  0 0 There are many good answers that can be given here and many have been given (older Civs, older GTAs also get my votes). But let me just say that for the quality of "awesome", few games can compete with Little Big Adventure (works on a 486) and Little Big Adventure 2 (Works on the earliest Pentiums). Action-adventure, filled with bipedal elephant-like creatures with hilarious accents (grobos) among a bevy of super-imaginatively made creatures, aliens, car races, a few puzzles, bouncy balls that you shoot at people, sandbox-ness, awesome music ... everything to love and nothing not to.

  0 0 Morrowind: Elder Scrolls III You didn't say how old this computer is, but the minimum requirements for Morrowind are a 500 MHz CPU, 256 MB of RAM, and a DirectX8.1 video card with 32 MB of video memory.

  0 0 I'm hardly a big gamer, but most of Bungie's pre-Halo games were great. Marathon 2 and Infinity (the true and actual precursors to Halo). Myth II: Soulblighter is a great 3d, real-time strategy game. I never played Myth I or III much. Oni is great fun. I will second Diablo and Deus Ex. Deus Ex especially was an amazing game for its day, and still holds up absurdly well.
