I need some fun computer games

[EyeMWing]

I've grown bored of the new games - I've played them all to death.

I've replayed all the classics I felt like replaying.

Thing is, I can't go TOO far back without too much hassle to make it fun. I don't have the inclination to tinker with DOSBOX. So, what do you guys suggest?

Do not suggest:
Anything multiplayer
Anything Star Wars

 

[BlueWeasel]

Grid Wars (Geometry Wars clone)
Doomsday (updated graphics engine for Doom/Doom2/Ultimate Doom/Hexen/Heretic)

 

[dighn]

I have a feeling that anything suggested will have been played by you

 

[PurdueRy]

Star Wars battlefront or any MMORPG!

Probably, because my claim to fame is "I've played every game EVAR", and for all the good titles, at least, I'm right.

Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War -- I'm friggin' addicted to this game.

and Doomsday is a neccessary part of any "classic" ensemble.

Done, not worth a replay.

Hitman Blood Money

Would replay it, but my game encounters a bug on the damned christmas party level that makes it crash if I drop any items or place bombs, which makes it impossible to complete any other way than run-and-gun (though you can pull off an SA run-and-gun if you have balls the size of alaska and some luck) - this annoys me to no end and killed any hope for replay any time soon

Did those earlier this summer.

I've got Civ4 laying around, can't seem to find any motivation to install it, though.

 

[xanis]

Any of the Splinter Cell games? Similar to Hitman but a bit more challenging.

 

[LIN1B09]

Hows about Giants: Citizen Kabuto?

Done them all before, don't like them enough to replay.

Yeah, the patch didn't address it.

 

[xanis]

Wow you're really making this hard..... sell all your games and buy a 360 so you can get Saint's Row and Oblivion?

 

[sash1]

dude, based on all the suggestions that you've shot down because you've already played them. I'd say you've played enough video games for one life time and need a break

oh, and what about icewind dale? maybe serious sam? a little old school, but both very enjoyable.
