 I've got a fever/cold and it sucks, I fail at SC2, WoW doesn't appeal to me anymore and I only play HoN with friends. I got no games to play, and it struck me how "good" the games you played when you were a kid. It could have been anything, and I'm looking for single player games. As I'm not too old I'm looking for games from the 90s / the early 2000 era. So, what did you play, and do you got anything do reccomend?  | ||

Edit: And you can get it 'free' online through some of these abandonware websites. Although I am not 100 percent sure about the legal status of these sites. | ||

If you want computer games, there's a lot of old FPS games (I hope graphics aren't a concern!). Duke Nukem 3d Doom 1 & 2 Quake Marathon 1, 2, and infinity (you'll have to play on Aleph One, a 3rd party engine that runs on windows) Descent 1 & 2 And of course, CHEX QUEST! (I know I just made someone nostalgia) As for old rts, I really highly recommend looking at the Myth games (1 & 2). These are some of the most amazing games I've ever played. They're non-economic rts, completely about force control, but the single player is one of the most amazing RTS experiences I've ever had. If you think SC was a good sp experience, play those games. For more modern games, I really highly recommend Doom 3. It's probably the best shooter since half life 2. | ||

But it is a good adventure if you don't mind the horrible graphics. Check out the special editions of MI1 and 2. I never played the originals, but they seem to be close ports since you can switch between the old graphics and new graphics at any point. My suggestion is GTA2. I played the shit out of that game, way more than any of the newer ones. And it's free! Even better: get some friends to install it and play multiplayer! | ||
