Here are mine. You may not have heard of some of these, bu they’re the creme de la creme of games , in my opinion.
Being a ‘collector’ of old games, most of these are pretty old
5. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
This has to be THE BEST adventure/horror game ever. A really cool plot, some excellent writing and some fiendish puzzles make this the best adventure Ive played till now.
Its 15mb, downloadable from Kazaa Lite under the ‘verified’ section at www.k-lite.tk.
WARNING: Run ONLY under Pure Dos
4. Jagged Alliance 2:
If there was one game I could keep on playing, with the early rays of the sun the only indication of how long I have been, JA 2 would have to be it.
This is also downloadable, though its slightly bigger at around 650 mb…
3. No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M’s Way
One of the funniest games ever made, this is the only game in which the characters actually act in the cutscenes, a breath of fresh air from other games which have one 3d model bobbing its head at another 3d model ,with no expression on his/her/it’s face….
Great Graphics, some incredibly funny bosses, some outrageous levels (including one on a unicycle and another one where you jump off a plane)
and a groovy 60’s soundtrack. Two thumbs up(s)!
2. Monkey Island 3: The Curse of Monkey Island
If you haven’t heard of the Monkey Island series, go download Monkey Island 1 and 2 from some abandonware site (they’re both nominammly sized at 3 and 6 mb) and then we’ll talk…
MI: 3 comes in 2 cd’s (ask me if you want the game, Im willing to give the game in return for C&C: Generals, THPS 3, Freelancer or Never-Winter Nights)
1. System Shock 2
Awesome. Everything about the game is AWESOME. ’nuff said
The game can be d’loaded from The Underdogs, at www.the-underdogs.org and is pretty big at 250 mb…..
If anyone has this game, PM me…ok?

I’m sorry K but my opinion begs to differ. Except for N.O.L.F I think the others aren’t that good and I’m surprised you didn’t include Zelda.
Being a lover of strategy and RPG and adventure games, I’m extremely critical when it comes to graphics my top 5 are:
5. Unreal Tournament:
Selecting mainly for its ground breaking graphics this is one game you really can’t get tired of playing.
4. Worms World Party:
Though it may be a 2D game the sheer brilliance and creativity makes up for the graphics.
3. Warcraft III:
This game was three years in the making and all I can say is that every nano second was worth it. The boys at Blizzard Entertainment never fail to impress, this game will revolutionize PC gaming.
2. Legend Of Zelda - Ocarina Of Time:
This is one game which I believe needs no introduction. The versatility and extra ordinary gameplay speaks for itself. No adjective in the english dictionary describes this marvel.
1. Starcraft:
Dear ol’ Starcraft, I remember the times when I feigned illness just to bask in you rays of glory. The ultimate strategy game, I believe no PC gamer should live without playing this.

Have you played all the other games Ive mentioned? I think not.
and I suppose Ive mentioned its ‘my opinion’?
Zelda didnt make it thanks to its storyline. The same Goddess-Mana-Triforce crap Ive seen far too many times other RPG’s, most notably Squaresofts’
The graphics were not that good either. Having played other N64 roms, most notably Goldeneye, the textures in the game were kinda flat and uninteresting….
