My old games website of choice is:old-games
I've bought the 30 day download option at least three times now as I find big chunky older games to download. At the very least you can grab a couple smaller games a couple times a day. I would recommend:

Master Of Magic is brilliant. It's a mix of Civilization and Magic: The Gathering.

Master of Magic is fantastic. I love games that just constantly roll you over and rape you until you figure it out. Can I take this volcano from the neutral guys guarding it? No? Oh cool, now it sends out dragons regularly to come burn down my village. When I was finally getting I was able to take out max opponents on the hardest difficulty at varying land sizes with a couple builds, and I haven't played in a bit so I don't remember the wizard traits specifically.

Holy warlord trolls, because trolls are super OP with regeneration and any fight they win all units, even the dead ones come back to life with full hp. Pair it with that white spell that gets a guy to max exp level and a few units of war trolls.

AND

Fiery death dark elves. The conflag spell that hits all the baddies with a lava geyser is pretty nasty.

Populous is a gun game but I only know it on the Sega Genesis. DOS version may differ.

I HIGHLY recommend checking out the 3D version:har

A couple other good ones:

Lots of Warlords:

The Myth series:

I could go on forever. Get Myth if you've never played it. There's nothing quite like setting up the perfect dwarf satchel trap and then lobbing a molotov at it that turns a huge army of ghouls into pudding.

Finally beating that game felt so fricken good. I played a bit of the sequel, Fade to Black, but I never got too far in it.

Was hoping this thread would be about console games. Besides EQ, I wasn't really into PC gaming until a few years ago.

Civ 3 was the first Civ game I ever played, but there's absolutely no reason to play it nowadays since Civ 4 was pretty much a direct improvement in nearly every way. And then Civ 5 was a totally different game and the playerbase diverges as to what they prefer (I still play Civ 4 over Civ 5).

Besides Civ 3, my favorite highschool PC game was probably Stronghold. RTS where you have to design, build, and defend a castle? Fuckin' sweet. Too bad Stronghold 2 was so buggy.

Anyone do the advanced dungeons and dragons games? I use to bring the floppy disks to school, and play those instead of Oregon Trail. Fuck that game, and its dysentery!
