There is also wolf3d spear of destiny (SOD), it's like a second part of wolf3d
Of course if you had no PC 15yrs ago, you wont like it...

i think you should define what kind of games you'd like to play first. there are many different types over there. If you're interested in adventures say so and i'll pick out a few ones for you.

But the computer is just so damn strong, it's incredible. Part of this is because you can't just outmacro or outmicro him. It's a highly strategical game and the computer always does so many good decisions... it's like getting outplayed by superior game sense every time. Plus, in later levels the computer also starts with an advantage. mmmm it is freeware ? or i have to do illegal stuff to get it ? :D
www.oldgames.nu - gotta register to download tho and I agree, Z is such an amazing game. The ingame video are great as well ^^

And try Deus Ex ( Action-RPG / FPS ) and Baldur's Gate ( RPG ) ( my two favourite games <3 <3<3 ).
Tip: if you think that Baldur's Gate graphics are too bad you can try to get Baldur's Gate 2 ( very good too ) and use a mod to play Baldur's Gate 1 with Baldur's gate 2 engine. But please play Baldur's Gate 1 first ( or it will ruin 50% of the storyline ) http://www.pocketplane.net/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=blogcategory&id=143&Itemid=98
Those games are awesome. Storyline and gameplay are way better than today games and graphics arent that bad. They arent freeware but i dont think they are expensive nowadays ^^
If you are a true hardcore gamer who dont care about graphics at all you can try Dwarf fortress; This is the most complex game ever made i guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_Fortress If graphics werent ASCII ..... It would be the best game ever made easily T-T. Btw it is freeware.

Try to explore the whole of Fallout II. Should keep you busy for a while. And lots of fun.

BG and Deus Ex are awesome but too new for this thread.
Seems very console-centric though.

So?

the threads contain more than the first post with valuable recommendations for great games.
it's only a hint at which games are all time classics and therefore "too good to miss". Have fun or don't.

Not in the list, but easily to download (on the mule for instance): Colonization

GREAT GAME! This is a good advise! But it's a DOS one so you gotta be prepared for troubles ...
Works fine in my windows XP-PRO

Both HOMM, Pirates, X-Com, maybe Syndicate. Seconded on Betrayal at Krondor. Master of Orion (original) is worth a few months of sleepless nights too.

Nothing... didn't mean it in a positive or negative way. Just noticed it, and I think that PC gamers without a console may not find much there.
@IH4t3z3rg: Almost all games from this thread are old DOS games, but they all should work when using DOSBox You need a fairly good CPU though (better than a P3 or so), because DOSBox emulates everything. Here's an overview: http://dosbox.com/wiki/System_Requirements

ARENA THE ELDER SCROLLS
best game ever

Twinsen Little Big Adventure!!!!!
Little Big Adventure 2: Twinsen's Odyssey is where my old screenname came from (TwinsenDude).
