Hello there, how's everyone doing?

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?

I am re-playing Monkey Island 2 at the moment. I think it was released very early in the 90s so it might be too old for you. But it is a good adventure if you don't mind the horrible graphics.

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.

Oh man,well , I've played through all the MI's except from.. 4? Because I didn't like the 3D graphics. Well, 'bout the graphics, I find 'em cool, just sucks there are no sound, but if you buy the Special edition you get either HD graphics (is it true to say HD?) or you can play with the normal graphics but with sound, which is awesome =)

Oh, the new Tales of Monkey Island is awesome aswell =)

Yeah, it was pretty entertaining. Though I had the feeling that it was significantly easier than the ealier games.

Final Fantasy Tactics 1.3 is so good, everything's just so much harder because there's no blade grasp and orlandu doesn't kill everything. I still haven't beaten it D:

lol, that cuts your options into about half, since practically everything on nintendo and a good chunk of playstation were japanese games...

Age of Empires? Commandos? Baldur's Gate? Heroes of Might & Magic 3?

My go-to answer for this kind of question: play Jagged Alliance 2 and the Gothic series. They're among the greatest games I've ever played. Also perhaps Heroes of Might and Magic 3, but it's at its best in hot-seat multiplayer on one computer.

Ooh that's a good one.

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.

Everything Dieoxhide said adding Master of Orion 2, and Hyperspeed. A game called Warhammer: Dark Omen is also amazing.

^ This if you're looking for a really good single player game and have never played. Personally my all time favorite of the SidMeyer turn based games.

Settlers 2
Doom 2
Alien vs Predator 2
Blood 2- the chosen

Admittedly - a lot of "2"s in there... but definitely quality...

Aliens vs Predator: Gold also. It had more climatic graphics engine than sequel in my opinion, while not having much shittier resolution like in Settlers 2 : Settlers 1 comparison.. Others are Fallout 2, and XCOM: Terror from the Deep.

hrm you didn't mention anything about broodwar at all, and that makes me a little sad on the inside, as it's from the era that you mentioned. I suppose that I'm supposed to assume it but.....

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!
