what type of games do you like to play?

some random suggestions: (not including newer installments of a game series as this is targeted towards 90's-00'ies games only)

  • Wing commander 3&4 (space sim with all star FMV (Malcolm McDowell, Mark (Jedi) Hamill, biff from back to the future (somehow even more awesomely douchy) etc)
  • Tex Murphy uakm, pandora directive and overseer (3d/fmv noir detective adventure game set in a futuristic San Francisco
  • Need for Speed Porsche 2000/Unleashed (imo the best nfs game) 

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

Command and conquer generals was pretty good.

Another interesting title was Impossible Creatures.

although the hd remake looks better on high res screens, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is an awesome turn based strategy adventure game with awesome old school graphics. original version is available on gog

TRON 2.0 imo is a fun stylized shooter..

if you can track down a copy, No one lives forever 1 & 2 are awesome humoristic spy/shooter game where you play a kind of female James Bond character with gadgets etc.

A recent (2013) review


why it's hard to find

 

 

also just scour gog.com for games, they are drm free and you can easily extract the installations and copy them to your retro computer to be run natively (instead of using dosbox etc)
i know many games are available on steam as well, but most need steam to run, and it's just easier working with drm free retro games anyway
