this man speaks truth. You may want to see how playable Warcraft 3 is. Also, Sonic and Knuckles collection & Sonic CD are a great value if you haven't played them before (I got them for like 5 bucks each retail).

SNES emulator + SNES games. That is probably the best you can do, and it is not bad!

Simcity 2000
Starcraft
Sonic & Knuckles Collection
Mega Man X4
Diablo II
Doom Collector's Edition

 

[m3rox]

Soldier of Fortune
007 Nightfire

Edit: oh, and if you're into emulation, you should have no trouble running N64 roms via Project64. Or PSX games via an emulator.

Grand Theft Auto 1 & 2 (free download on Rockstar's site)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (and the free online-only RTCW: Enemy Territory)

Oh I love Red Alert 2 so much. Its still my favourite strategy game and I play it every chance I get. We used to have big competitions in my house at uni and it would always cause arguments

I really like the expansion Yuri's Revenge as well, even though they took away too much from Soviets.

Counter Strike 1.6

IMO better than any current gen console game out.

+ it's only $10

 

[BlueStar]

Elastomania.

Counter Strike 1.6

IMO better than any current gen console game out.

+ it's only $10

He could probably run Counter Strike Source too, I'm pretty sure all it needs is a 1.2 Ghz, 256 MB of RAM and a DirectX 7.0 compatible videocard.

Doubt he would get very good fps and 1.6 is better

 

[stormwolf18]

MAFIA for sure

 

[dakeyras]

Starlancer, freelancer, freespace 2. Yah spacesims!

Typing of the dead, heroes of might and magic 3 and 4, wizardy 8, Plane-scape: Torment and lego star wars should work too.

 

[TLSpartan]

Ur Quan Masters is a excellent game

Command and Conquer 95 is always good

Age of Empires is a good fix for RTS

All Doom's(except for 3)

Soldat( How could I forget)

Worms World Party - Good with friends

I think that ONI on lower details should work, also the house of the dead is very nice rail shooter, and search also for old resident evil (apocallypse for example)
