I have a standard Dell PC from like 3 years ago. I want some old games. Right now i play Starcraft, Halflife, CS, system shock, Warcraft and AoE. I was wondering if you guys know of any decent games, Shooters or RTS preferably,  that would run on and older comp.  Greatly appreciated

If you liked AoE you might try Age of Mythology,Medieval Total War, Rise of Nations; I've never tried it but anyone recommend Painkiller?

If you like Serious Sam then you will probably like Painkiller. I recommend it, but I would download the demo just to be sure that you like it.

i second that. If you don't mind the retro graphic but gameplay is very satifying. This can make time fly very fast :) now i'm playing the sequel Terror in the deep and Apocalypse.

Call of Duty is really fun is your looking for an intense FPS. If you want something different, try Sid Meir's Pirates.

I'm playing UFO: Extraterrestrials right now.... I suppose it's the *unofficial* sequel/clone to UFO Defense...   If you haven't tried it, you should pick it up~  Just came out yesterday.

The games mentioned above are really old, but they are certainly worth playing.  I especially love Total Annhilation, but that's an ANCIENT game.  You might also try Operation Flashpoint, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Deus Ex: Invisible War.  They are a little dated, but they are FUN!

Call of Duty: United Offensive, there is a demo also.  I would suggest all Call of Dutys (except COD2, your system may not handle it well) and all Medal of Honors.  If you have patience and really like FPS try Sniper Elite, there is a demo for this also.

these are some of the best games ever made (and I mean ever):

 

Baldur´s gate 2 + exp

Deus ex (the first one, the sequel sucks)

diablo 2 + exp

c&c generals

homeworlds 2

Emperor (actually its not that good but i am a sucker for dune)

starcraft

monkey island series (it just cracks me up hehehhehe)

plus u can also emulate all nintendo, ps1 and snes games in an older computer and have hours of good olde fun ;)
