Title: Recommend me some classic games to buy
Post by: Mupepe on February 01, 2007, 01:50:05 PM
I'm buying Fallout right now.  :hyper

Recommend me some old PC games that I must play.  I feel like buying some.  I'm mostly in to Sims, Shooters and RPG's for PC gaming.

Grim Fandango!

For rpgs, people always suggest Planescape and Baldurs Gate II. I haven't played em yet though.

Nice.  I have Monkey Island somewhere, but I have never installed it. 

Himumu, explain Grim Fandango?

And FoC, I purchased the two you suggested.

you actually paid for zork games? I hope you're just being shy about pirating.
3 dollars each.  I don't like to pirate.  If I can't find it, then I'll pirate it though.

The best adventure game of all time. Lucasarts adventure games perfected.

The Jedi Knight trilogy is phenomenal.

Shivers is one of the best point and click adventure games.

Scratches is right up there as well. Please play these two games.

You'll like them. Return to Zork was one of the very first CD rom games and hasnt aged well. Zork GI on the other hand was great. Very funny adventure game.
