I decided to get a couple of games, and i was wondering what people would reccomend.

i'll play anything as long as its entertaining, and have the following games:
Starwars Jedi Knight Outcast II
Starwars KOTOR

Grey the Stampede

Don't mess with powers you don't understand.

And yes. That means donuts.

Anything Command and Conquer. Starcraft, Warcraft, Gunbound, Morrowind, Ragnarok, SimCity, and one crapload of a lot more.

If you have the funds, I'd suggest all of these, they're no brainers as far as entertainment goes. Do you have any personal preferences?

Also, if you liked Jedi Outcast, try Battlefront. It's gold.

I can recommend some really, really old stuff, but you might need something like DOSbox to run them

Digger (Windmill Software, 1983)
Elevator (Wordworks Software, 1986)
Commander Keen (ID Software, late 80's through to early 90's)
Theme Park (Bullfrog)
Theme Hospital



I love my old games. You can get a lot free at the Home of the Underdogs

.... but I'm guessing this isn't quite what you're after, but still if you have time, have a go anyways.

Painkiller is totally sweet. May I suggest Rise of Nations or Rome: Total War? Also, there is the magic of emulation

Any of the Command and conquer games. Especially Red alert. The first one. (like it better than the second one... which have a screwy storyline and feels little... non-serious )

Simcity 4 is the best Simcity of them, currently i'm addicted to The sims 2. Games where you build things or destroy them allure me.

I also recommend FFVII, but I have to let you know that the PSX version is superior (has noticably better sound, and isn't prone to crashing as much as the PC version)

And still more stuff from The Underdogs. Seriously. There are so many games here that are great.... just cause they're old doesn't mean they suck. And they're FREEEEEEE!!

*list*


You forgot Scorched Earth and DOOM. OMG...

PSX Version of VII, however, is prone to getting better graphics res's (topping out at a BEAUTIFUL 640x480 ).

Yeah, it has crashed a few times for me. Sometimes it just shuts down itself and that happens after a battle most of the time, I think.

The graphics are better in the PC version. Better sound? Gotta check that...

Scorched Earth is great aswell...

Nothing beats the old games in my opinion. I used to play Digger at school in 4th grade using 5 1/4 floppys! That is an old game... really.

Anyway, I would recommend the following:

Starcraft
Command And Conquer (Any of them)
Half-Life
The Incredible Machine

These four are good games. The last one comes in a two pack that has both The Return of the Incredible Machine: Contraptions and The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions for $10 (US). If you have never played or heard of the game, it is a very good puzzle game that has a whole bunch of difficult puzzles. Lots.
