    Besides GOG, which is great, there's also: My Abandonware - Download Old Video Games

    Then yeah, GOG.com will have a good selection for you to look at. For anything they don't carry, you can also look at DOSbox for emulation. It requires some fine-tuning sometimes, but I've been able to run a few games on it well.

    Otherwise, gog.com has tons of old PC games that Steam doesn't carry, all DRM-free. I can't recommend them enough.

    The recent remakes of Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate, and Riven (Myst 2) are quite good, if you like point-and-click adventures. Riven is fully immersive with first-person shooter-style controls, too.

    Speaking of point-and-click adventures, a couple more of my favorites from the 90's are Shivers and Shivers 2 from Sierra, both of which are on Good Old Games's service.

    Thats where I get most of my PC games through. They've got a great selection of new and old games.

    Recommendations for PC Games

    Heya,

    I've been playing the same old games on and off for 20 years, I'll play them for a bit, then life will take over and I'll come back to them months/years later.

    I'd love for recommendations for other PC games for me to try? Ideally inexpensive to start off with!

    The games I've been repeat-playing are:
    Dungeon Keeper
    Deeper Dungeons
    Theme Hospital
    Rollercoaster Tycoon
    Dungeon Keeper 2


    Thanks in advance!
Working...
