What are some good past PC games to play?

Post by Pichu »

Hello, I have a normal PC, not one built for gaming, so I am looking for some good, fun games to play. I do prefer games that can play on my Sony Vaio NW270F, so mostly older ones.
To give you an idea of what I would like, heres what I own already:

Text Twist 2
Konami's Collector Series Castlevania and Contra
MySims
The Sim City Box
Battlefield 1942 Collection
Call of Duty
Medal of Honor Allied Assault
Desert Thunder

Thanks for the input!

You might want to go search for some "Bestest 100 PC Games EVAR!!1!" type articles which should have lots of classics in them. Obviously opinions differ, but they usually at least describe why the games are considered good and if you compare and contrast a few, you should get some good titles.

You can play it the way you want to play it. Want to go in guns blazing, you can. Want to tackle it with stealth, you can. Every problem in the game can be solved in multiple ways, and your choices actually have an effect on what happens in the game. It gives you more freedom and control than any other FPS/RPG hybrid.
