I think my PC died. Suggest some older games to pass time :/

[Sniger]

yup deffy european wars: cossacks - art of war or later expansion/version. 12k max units (!) huge maps, far bigger than you have ever seen in any other RTS. its RTS as it should be but with inferiour gfx (its old)

UFO: enemy unknwon (also known as x-com) is a winner as well. 1, 2, 3 and the newest. other releases = shit.

another game with same type of gameplay is jagged alliance. the first one was for DOS. they recently released a jagged alliance online. im playing it atm (steam version). seems good. its F2P but if you like the game, id say you should spend the money (about €13 AFAIR) and pay for the extra campains and get access to more maps and gear.

naturel selection (HL mod) if you have internet on that old pc

and last but not least: whats wrong with counterstrike 1.6?

heroes of might and magic whatever version, i like them all.

settlers

civilization

damn i cba writing them all haha

Fallout 2.

[Daunt_Flockula]

Fallout 2.

+1

You may also play the first of the series. Both are insta classics. If you haven't played them so far, do it already on this occasion.

The Close Combat Series. Realism, historical accuracy, relatively slow tactical combat in real time, great campaigns from a German perspective. Very stat-based, each soldier's psychological condition is portrayed, can break, go berserk, fall down and cry etc.

[Havoco]

M2TW of course.

*Sid Meier's Pirates!
*Gangsters: Organized Crime
*Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
*Ultima Online (there's a lot of free servers [called player run shards] out there, I believe Defiance is the biggest with about 600 unique accounts on at any given time).
*Age of Empires

So yeah, few days ago my PSU went apeshit and I'm not totally sure but there is a high chance that it fried some, if not all of my major components. I'll take it to the service tomorrow so more experienced people can see it too, but I think that's what happened.

I just wanted to take the power-plug out just like any other day, when the plastic cover like thingy snapped, broke off in some places, and I managed to pull out all those freaking cables and it was sparking and buzzing like crazy, I had a mini heart attack.
At least it didn't shock me, but when I was unscrewing the little bastards some current left in it almost did, hehe

I replaced the PSU, but everytime I put my Video-card in there the fans go crazy fast and loud, nothing loads. Motherboard VGA port doesn't give a picture either. 

I'm using a very basic, non-gaming kind of laptop these days, just to browse youtube (even that lags sometimes), and chat with people, etc. So expect even more forum stalking from me nowadays

So, I'm looking for something older, but not THAT old, Diablo clones or space sandboxes or an RTS, anything really.

dungeon siege, resident evil 1,2,3, BLOOD, stronghold, stronghold crusader, grandia 2 [its a bit shitty port, but still a great game with awesome combat system],
driver... i will think of more later...

[Nightmare798]

M2TW of course.

I HIGHTLY doubt he will run this...

[Grumbs]

Check out GoG best sellers http://www.gog.com/games

Bullfrog pack
Planescape: Torment
Lucas Arts adventures (not sure if on GoG)
Startopia (made by ex bullfrog devs)
Alpha Centuri

I really liked this http://www.gog.com/game/primordia , recent indy adventure, reminded me of Beneath a Steal Sky and other old adventure games

Gemini Rue was good too

[CrazyCracka420]

Oh yeah, forgot about the Thief games, they were really good for their time as well (pre or early 2000s)

[zagibu]

Chaos Gate if you can get it to run. Or Dark Omen, even.

[Clockworkkiller]

Fallout 2.

i approve

[Sir_Hans]

Baldurs Gate II: shadows of amn & throne of bhaal... such a time sink, especially if you constantly reroll characters and start over like me :3

Dungeon Keeper I & II... Great games!!! Comical, Unique, Fun, and Challenging (in the later levels)

Fallout Collection (white label)... Includes Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout tactics on one CD... or you can pirate them. Fallout 2 is by far the best out of the three, IMO... Original Fallout was great, but 2 has so many upgrades its hard to go back to Original Fallout once you play 2.

Descent Freespace & Freespace 2... awesome spaceship flying game... Fast paced flying... quick dogfights as well as humongous capital ships... Loved those games.

I HIGHTLY doubt he will run this...

Yeah this thing is a potato, if I want to start Hotline Miami, it gives a BSOD 

And It can't handle most 3D applications.

Also I've taken the PC to the service, guy in there was like oÓ, but I told him to at least check what happened to it and call.

We'll see lol

[CrazyCracka420]

Gangsters: Organized Crime and Sid Meiers: Pirates! can entertain me for weeks

Also suggest pirating Feeding Frenzy, it's a very low resolution game, but you are basically a fish and you eat other fish (and you grow bigger through the levels).  There's two games, and each one has about 100 levels.  It's actually a lot of fun (and some adult arcades around here have the game there too, and I always kick ass and win a bunch of tickets on it).
