So I've started working night shift, and when I'm awake between 4-6 I'm finding myself extremely bored. I haven't played almost any single player PC games and I imagine there are quite a few excellent oldies. If you don't mind recommend me one and help me kill these brutal hours.

STARCONTROL 2 (aka The Urquan Masters)

Download it here

It's a space adventure game, and has the perfect combination of action and storyline with lots of humour also. It's quite old ~1992 by memory, but it's probably up there amongst the best adventure games of all time.

Baldur's gate 1/2 if you like RPGs. (BG1 is alot tougher on beginners, so bg2 suggested)
Fallout 2 if you like post apocalyptic RPGs
STALKER if you like FPS (tho I'd suggest getting a few decent mods, oblivion lost etc)

Thief 1 (Gold) or 2. A good game for playing at night, it's quiet, slow and dark.

A blog by GrandInquisitor has me playing through Grim Fandango again. Funny game, and probably the best adventure game of all time. Check it out.

Oblivion is pretty good. It's not an inherently great game but it's huge and free-roaming, you can kill endless hours in it.

Bioshock - awesome atmosphere, fun story, fun gameplay.
System Shock 2 - see above It's older tho, but siiiiiiiiick atmosphere.

Star Control 2 - best dialogue in any game. Ever. Google Ur'Quan masters for a free remake of it (I dunno if remake is the proper word, it's the same exact game just ported to modern systems).

The White Chamber - Short, but good old school point and click game - it's free, just google it.

All oldschools:

Bladur's Gate 1 / 2
Deux Ex

Dungeon keeper 1
Planescape Torment
Commando
Civ 2 / 3
+ many more


If you are a crazy hardcore oldschool gamer play dwarffortress it is a freeware and arguably the deepest game ever made. Problem: it is in ASCII.
If this game has decent 2D graphics it would be easily the best gestion / strategy game ever made.


But u MUST play the two first ( you might have already )

Um... have you tried playing Crysis? Or Bioshock.
They're both great games. Call of Duty 4 is also very good.
Or if you're looking for an RPG, you could try Mass Effect, which I thought was very entertaining.
Portal (the half life 2 mod) if you're looking for a physics heavy game (seriously it's so addicting).

mmmmm...

Alpha Centauri

Another great Civ-game...in space!
It was the first to have an actual plot, one that slowly tracks human evolution towards the technological singularity.

Mass Effect: Awesome game if you like RPG-elements coupled with Sci-fi. (Also created by bioware so expect something good). Brings FPS and RPG together.

Knights of the Old Republic (1): Another great RPG from bioware and will not dissapoint you if you feel ok with the StarWars universe. Has nothing to do with the movies.

If i think of some more ill go back and edit :p

yeah... morrowind is just incredible. the atmosphere is like 10000x better than oblivion, and the gameplay is much more fun. the only thing i liked about oblivion was the combat system and how all the npcs sleep.

The single player mode of Diablo I is actually really fun. You could probably pick up the game for something like 5-10$.

Other alternatives:

-Starcraft campaign
-Baldurs Gate (They're all pretty fun)
-Warcraft 3
-Command and Conquer
-Dawn of War (Not the MMORPG)
-any classic gameboy game on an emulator.
