I currently have a not so great PC and would like to know some great older games I might have missed in PC gaming. I recently downloaded Earth 2160 which is awesome. Any of these older games would be great!
Netstorm - Islands at war
Any old Age of Empires, Zeus master of olympus, Command and conquer series
In no particular order:
- Planescape Torment
- Baldur's Gate 2
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
- System Shock 2
- Fallout (I like 2 more, but 1 is great too)
- Deus Ex
- Thief 2
- The Longest Journey
- Syberia
- Planescape Torment
Did I mention Planescape Torment? You NEED to play this.
The Longest Journey rates as the best adventure game ever created in my book. I am not an adventure fan, but this game really impressed me. Syberia comes a close second.

my brother once had an interesting run of Diablo II where he was a warrior and his friend was a necromancer. The necromancer was pretty much useless against Diablo, so he sold all his stuff and gave his wand to my brother. He then spent all his money on health potions and kept ferrying health pots while the warrior was hitting Diablo to death with a wand.

A "modern" title thats quite a bit different than the other picks: Minecraft/ League of Legends
