There are some excellent games some old enough to buy their own alcohol that are as good today as the day they were released. You may not have heard of all of them. After all, when a game has been out for a while, people generally stop talking about it. They are still out there though, waiting patiently for someone to pick them up and play. Unlike with consoles, a game from 1. PCs just fine. In this article, we are looking specifically at games that are still fun to play, ten or more years old, and are the best of their style in their series e. Civilization 4 is not considered, because Civilization 5 was better Fallout 2 is considered, because Fallout 3 and 4 looked and felt quite different. Weve also considered remasters of games that fit that description. Old School Pc Games' title='Old School Pc Games' />Over 5000 classic PC and Amiga games for download, with reviews, screenshots, and utilities. Most of these games are available relatively cheap and will offer many hours of enjoyment, even on modest hardware. A special point of note games have generally become more forgiving over the years, with things like autosaves and regenerating health becoming more or less standard. Expect very little of this sort of mollycoddling with these old school games. Baldurs Gate II Enhanced Edition. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes. Source Steam, Go. G 1. 2 2. 0Genre RPG, Isometric, party, turn based. Similar Fallout, Planescape, Neverwinter Nights gameplayGraphics Passable. Gameplay CRPG, Pausable real time tactical, isometric, plenty of dialogue. Difficulty Selectable. This is one of the CRPG greats. Its full of travel, discovery, NPCs and oodles of story to uncover. As with other classic CRPGs, expect plenty of written dialogue. The remaster adds support for widescreen, some content, as well as some visual enhancements over the classic. Quake 3 Arena. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes. Source Steam 1. Also see io. Quake. Genre FPS, Arena style. Similar Unreal Tournament, Tribes. Graphics Passable. Gameplay FPS, pure and simple competitive. If you take a modern multiplayer shooter, and boil away all the theatre, strip it of military pretensions, and speed it up a good deal, youll find something that looks a lot like Quake 3 Arena. It is the very soul of a competitive first person shooter brutal, fast, and more dependent on skill than anything else. As its name promises, it is focused on arena combat, with small to medium maps with various environmental features, damage, speed, health and armor boosts, as well as weapons. It is, my opinion, the pinnacle of the Quake series as far as multiplayer is concerned. Did I mention it was fast paced Grim Fandango Remastered. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes. Source Steam 1. Genre Point and click adventure, humorous, puzzle. Similar Tales of Monkey Island. Graphics Passable. Gameplay 3. D point and click. An excellent point and click adventure, remastered to look and work nicer on modern hardware. The several hours worth of entertaining story follows the adventures of Manuel Calavera, travel salesman to the dead. The game takes place in a loose interpretation of the underworld of Aztec mythology, seen through film noir goggles, making for an unusual, quirky, and immensely enjoyable aesthetic. The excellent voice acting only makes it more immersive, selling the setting and characters better than the best visuals ever could. Unusually, for a game of its era, most of the dialogue is spoken so if you dont have the patience for reams of text, this ones for you. Diablo 2. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes tweaks may be requiredSource Blizzard 1. Workarounds Run as admin, disable desktop composition andor end explorer. Genre Birds eye dungeon crawler, Action RPGSimilar Fate, Torchlight, Bastion. Graphics Low res, high quality. Gameplay Dungeon crawler. Difficulty Lowmedium. Adjustable after first playthrough. Built on the rich mythos of Diablo, Diablo 2 follows the story of a hero battling trough the world of Sanctuary to stop dark and terrible powers. The game gives off a macabre, tainted vibe, a good part of which can be credited to the outstanding ambient music. The story is very good however, little of it actually takes place during gameplay. Rather, the story is mostly told very well through cinematics between acts. If you pick this one up or revisit it, do yourself a favor, and read up on the lore it will greatly enrich your experience of the world as you play through what would otherwise feel like a generic, albeit excellently executed dungeon crawler thanks to the many me too clones that exist of the style. Homeworld Remastered. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes. Source Steam 3. Genre Space Sim, Strategy. Similar Supreme Commander. Graphics Good. Gameplay Fully 3d space, pausable realtime. Restore From Boot Vista. Difficulty Dynamic. Homeworld is a space strategy game. Not a strategy game set in space Star. Craft, mind you. A strategy game truly in space, all three glorious dimensions of it. The player gets to control space fleets, gather resources and fight spectacular battles in full 3d, maneuvering and commanding in all three axes. The game works like most strategy games on a series of counters. Ship x counters ship y and so on. The gameplay is very engaging, demanding a lot of attention and awareness of the positions of various vessels, current orders, capabilities, etc. An excellent game, and a must play for fans of strategy games. The HD remake makes it truly gorgeous, by any standards. Warcraft III Reign of Chaos. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes. Source Blizzard 1. Genre Strategy, Fantasy mediaeval. Similar Starcraft. Graphics Passable. Gameplay Multiple campaigns, multiple races. Heroes in strategy with items and inventory, several unusualinteresting missions. Difficulty Selectable. A fun game in every respect excellent story, solid gameplay, and varied missions. The main campaign leads players through several different views i. Azeroth. The lore, like most Blizzard games, is deep, and adds an extra dimension to what is already a very good game. A point of note here is that it is not exactly fast paced units will be engaged in combat for a comparatively long time before either perishing, or taking down their targets. Tom Clancys Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Click on image for gameplay video. Works Yes. Source Steam 1. Genre Stealth. Similar Thief, Metal Gear. Graphics Very good. Gameplay Stealth hide in the shadows, take out or avoid bad guys, security systems and similar. The main focus of the game is to accomplish your objectives without being detected. Difficulty Selectable. The third game in the Splinter Cell series before it somewhat changed its playstyle, Chaos Theory does an admirable job, keeping most of the good stuff from previous games, while adding gameplay features made possible by better technology. The player takes on the role of Sam Fisher, covert agent. Sam goes where no one else will go, and do things no one else can do all without being detected. The game focuses heavily on stealth, sticking to the shadows and pouncing on enemies from behind, above, and underneath or better yet, avoiding them altogether. There are some minor puzzle mechanics i. The story is, unsurprisingly, yet delightfully, worthy of a Tom Clancy novel, with plenty of international intrigue, betrayal and plot twists.
