What are the best computer games for a PC with a basic graphics card. Something cheap or old but still available in stores.



Posted by: m3trj

Half Life, and Counter-Strike if you want to play online. Great games.

I haven't played Starcraft or Diablo 2 in years so I don't know how they are now, but I used to enjoy those games a lot when they were first released, pretty sure they are still available in stores. These are good games for online play.

If you want a good in depth single player game for the PC, check out Fallout and Fallout 2. These are great games that are older. They might be a little harder to find, but definitely worth it.

Quake III
Diablo II
Warcraft III
Baldur's Gate
The Sims
Starcraft

Any of the Star Wars Games

Jedi Knight 2
Jedi Academy

Or if you like other genre's you could go for Myst/Riven or Kings Quest 7.

I'm really not into gameing cause I've always had a crappy computer and this one probly isn't as good as any of your's so I might ask stupid questions. For online play is it hard when using dial-up? We're getting DSL soon but I'm not sure when.



Posted by: Cage K

Depends on the game. When I had dial up, I played Starcraft without any lag. Diablo 2 should run fine without lag also. I don't think games like Quake, Counter Strike or Warcraft III would run well with dial up though

Depends on my mood. I usually find good games here:

well what's your computer specs



Posted by: woot7800GT

Yeah, exactly what card?



Posted by: Trifid

If you got one better than the 5700LE/9500pro than you can get BF2 but it is a demanding game, so I don't know how well it will play on your PC w/o knowing specs.

Heyyo,

I say good ol' [url]www.cgarchive.com[/url] is a good place to look. All the games there are abandonware. So all legal free downloads. ;)

A great abandonware oldie to get is "Tribes 2" was made only in the year 2000, and with that autopilot bot mod, it's all the better.

Other greats have been mentioned like Q3A, CS, but you guys forgot UT! classic. GTAIII or GTAVC are relatively cheap these days and are fun. Might give your comp a bit of a hard time though..

starcraft command and conker ect



Posted by: KMOTE

be careful when buying old pc games if you have xp compatibility is a big problem



Posted by: ThE_MarD

Heyyo,

Oh! for dialup? best game for it is Worms Armageddon. NEVER did I lag, and everyone could hear my custom sound packs and gravestones. Lol, I was a n00b back then, so my custom worms soundpack was the rock, (ROODY-POO! CANDY ***!! ROFL! oh gg) and my gravestone was Generation X. I had worm names like Bhrama Bull, Candyass, Rock, Sock (rock n' sock connection! lol), peoples eye, peoples elbow.. and a couple other rock-related names. :p

So yes! if worms armageddon's wormnet's still going pick up this classic, or worms world party should be good too. :)

Btw, I tried worms 3D... I dunno, just not the same, especially goes for the ninja rope, lol, you could like, glitch out the physics onnit and launch yourself across the level in 2 seconds. pwnage.
