PC games pre 2006

[matnatz]

The newest game that my current PC can run is Black and White 2. I will upgrade sometime, if I find a reason to, Beyond Good and Evil 2 may be that reason, but until then, I'll stick with what I have.

Anyway, Escapers, can you suggest some good games from 2006 and earlier?

Unreal Tournament 2004

I do like the game but to be brutally honest, I only said that in particular because its the only game I can think of that is definitely pre 2006.

Actually the Monkey Island games. It took me until this year to play them for the first time, and I fell in love.

Starcraft... or warcraft 3 Frozen throne, the mods will keep you happy for years to come as well.

Define run. Highest settings, lowest settings, somewhere in the middle? That's important stuff to know, otherwise I can't really be much help other than saying "POPULAR GAMES THAT EVERYONE CAN RUN!"

If you can run it on the highest settings than you can play everything that's out there, for the most part, with various settings. Some lower, some higher.

Far Cry if you want a shooter or Rome: Total war if you want strategy. Both are fantastic games from 2004 I think.

This is all you need. $20 on Steam, go. Thank me later.

Well, Black and White 2 runs with lag. Basically I'm just asking for any games before 2006 no matter the requirements. You suggest the game, I'll check the requirements and save you the work .

Thank you very much, I'll buy that now . I've heard good things after it's been patched.

same. black and white 2

 

[MrNades]

Half life, Starcraft, Neverwinter Nights, og and actually Half Life 2 was 2004 so there's a good one.

Ok people, I'm writing down a list here, keep them coming. The rarer and more unheard of the better, because I already have many games (Over 200 actually ). The games can be as old as you like, as long as they come from the CD/DVD era, no floppy's.

neighbours from hell 1 and 2

 

[Starnerf]

Call of Duty 1 and 2, Fallout 1 and 2, Deus Ex, The Longest Journey, Max Payne 1 and 2, Indigo Prophecy, The Orange Box, any of the Command and Conquer series (3 might be hard to run, but anything before that should be fine), and I know there are a bunch more.

civilisation 3 is pretty good.
Red alert 2
GTA vice city
Call of Duty 2
freelancer is a good one and i think enough people still play it online for when youve finished the story.

 

[Yooz]

Max Payne, Half Life 2, System Shock, Far Cry, Day of Defeat: Source.

This, but you need to patch the hell out of it. It's quite buggy.

 

[PoweD]

well source games doesn't demand much you could try those

 

[munx13]

Counter-Strike:source, and all the free mods you can get on steam after you buy it.
Orange box (same with mods)
Battlefield 2
Rise of Nations:Thrones and patriots
Wacraft 3:Frozen throne and all it's mods

 

[Asehujiko]

Rome total war+barbarian invasion(alexander is worthless, skip that one)
Starcraft+Broodwar
Warcraft III+Frozen Throne
Unreal Tournament 2004
Age of empires 2+Conquerers
Red Alert 2+Yuris revenge

 

[KaZZaP]

The Age of Wonders Series. Its like a turn based RTS (I refuse to call it TBS) and Ièm still hooked on these games. If anyone knows what they are odds are they love them.
