Old Games

For really old you might try an emulator

I've tried the snes and it works fine.

There's also the AoE 1,2,3

Cossacks, Civilization 1,2,3

And the really old Romance of the three Kingdoms

downloadable at Kongming Archives

"trial" it and find out. i played with 2k3 as well, and traded it in for some other knock-off title... when it comes to UT, the first is only Playable Game they made.

CS and The Specialist (my favorite mod) you can add bots... but i think you need steam... and that requires you to connect to the 'net every time you wanna go play... but yeah, the story line of HL gets old after the first play..

true. true... I only play the classics or gameboy games on those 'cus the whole keyboard-sucks-as-a-controller issue... SNES and GBA roms are hardly buggy, though (IMHO ;-)

yet, somehow, you allow the speak and usage of unowned roms? that, my good sir, is pirating.

besides, there was not "any kind of pirated material" in my post. there was simply a viable method of downloading a, now, open-engine game.

contributing to warez would be spamming with torrentreactor and mininova links or telling the users of this great site about how to download via IRC or P2P... or AIM for that matter...

Deus Ex was a fun game. You might also look for Kingpin it was a fun little romp of a FPS as a mobster. lots of foul language, and almost nudity. (nipples showed through shirts)
