Recommend Good Old Games.

Fallout 1 and 2, they have probably been mentioned before but they are just than damn good that they deserve mentioned multiple times.

Rome/Medieval Total War

Hitman Blood Money (not sure if this one qualifies, it might be a little too recent.)

I can say thief 2 is the bestand source games are real easy to run usually.

If you wanted great nostalgia, then hands down Half Life every time, I haven't checked out the HD version for it, is it any good?
Other than that, I remember Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was a fun game, quite buggy and AI was a bit dumb bit still great fun.
Rome Total War for the strategy category.
Or KOTOR, my favourite game of all time.

Well, instead of investing is some super PC I figured just play old games I missed out on that my PC could handle. So far, I picked up KOTOR 1 & 2 and San Andreas. Also, considering Thief. Anything else you recommend I pick up?

How old is your computer because a word of warning with all 3 thief games you will run into issues running multi core processors systems and a os above windows ME. There are however workarounds for these issues but just so you know they wont just be install and play games, however that said I dont know if the GOG versions have been optimized for newer systems I do know that the steam version have not been optimized for newer systems.

Freelancer - A deep, atmospheric and highly moddable space sim. A fantastic time sink.
Roller Coaster Tycoon - A whimsical and colourful theme park sim.

Braid isn't that old but it's an excellent PC game. So is Minecraft. Depends on the specifics of your PC, really. Get a copy of Bioshock as well, if you haven't played it already.

Is there any way to get Minecraft to stop hogging alllll the memory? I swear, that game takes up way more processing power than it looks like it should.

Mainly things you'd consider classics, original xbox games or PS2 games available on Steam.

Fable The Lost Chapters is currently on sale on steam. It's one of my favourite games.

Here are some


Hidden And Dangerous (free)
A squad based WWII shooter that may not have aged very well, but hey, it free so fuck that.


Ghost Recon (plus Heroes Unleashed mod for a shitload amount of content)
Modern squad based shooter with medium to large maps, great for coop.


...

LOVED Ghost Recon! I was bummed when the sequels removed the ability to play every member of your squad. I was impressed with the first game, how the PC and Xbox versions were pretty equal, except the first mission was minus one enemy tank.

Disciples I and II. Gog has them for like 5 dollars. Dark, gothic high fantasy turn-based strategy game with RPG elements. Very easy to pick up and quite long as well. Great value... great games.
