I already know of some like Diablo, Planescape: Torment, and Fallout 1 & 2. Are there any other great rpgs like these? I would just like to get a list cause I'm getting a netbook eventually and would like a nice collection of old rpgs. Thanks!

I'm with VinnoT, but you should start with BG1 and play through everything up to and including Throne of Bhall. Yes, the first few hours of the first game are a bit of a slog, but it's ultimately worth it.

Also, it's only 6 years old, but Bloodlines is a good one.

What netbook are you planning on getting? They are usually very under powered, and wouldn't be able to play any games.

Wizardry 8. Awesome old-school turn-based RPG. Gamespot gave it a 9.1. Severely over-looked.

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Well, I plan to probably get the cheapest m11x, or I would get a decent spec'd netbook around 500 or so.. I have played a bunch of older rpgs like morrowind, kotor, and gothic 2, but I'm trying to be realisitc and get older non 3D games or at least some of the older 3D ones.. So far I plan on at least getting the fallouts and planescape. I'll look at all the ones you guys are recommending to see if they look interesting.

I vote for Anachronox as well as go old old school and play the early Ultima's and Wizardry's.

The BG series is an absolute must, however.

Baldur's Gate - the whole series for the PC. It's the best RPG I've ever played and probably the best game as well. Graphically it's far behind today's games but in terms of gameplay, story and character depth it still haven't found a worthy rival imo.

Icewind Dale series - it's very similar to BG, but lighter on story and dialogs and heavier on combat (both here and in BG combat is very tactical)

Planescape: Torment - probably the bet RPG story yet.

The Temple of Elemental Evil - similar in style to Icewind. Slightly better graphics.

Fallout 1 and 2 - futuristic RPG. Very non-linear.

Neverwinter Nights - BG's successor, a very good game with good story and character development and gr8 modding possibilities. Skip NWN 2 though.

Final Fantasy VII - fortunatelly it was released for the PC. It's one of the all time best console RPGs (second only to Final Fantasy X imo). U have to get used to Japanese console style turn-based combat. though.

You could also check Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity - both BG style, Silver - less known and funny looking but has good story and chars, Dungeon Seige and if u like freeform Morrowind of course.
