My favorite that still runs on XP is Comandos II from Eidos. It's a great RTS set in WW II. Should be able to find it on Ebay cheap now.

Behind the 8 ball,..
The Brothers in Arms games are my favorites, as well as Call of Duty, some of the versions of Tomb Raider. Still trying to get the hang of flying in Secret Weapons over Normandy. :rolleyes: Maybe it's best I don't,..I might end up addicted. :)

I play Texas Hold'Em online like there's no tomorrow. Does that count?

Also some COD4.

The Twilight Zone
RTS
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Imperial Glory
StarCraft (Original and Brood War)
Company of Heroes (when I configure Boot Camp)


FPS
Half-Life 2 (as soon as I get boot camp working)
Half-Life: Opposing Force
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Quake
Quake II
TIE Fighter

[RPG]
Mass Effect (X-Box)
Knights of the Old Republic

To be honest, I haven't played much as of late (academic work and real life really get in the way). Plus, there are only so many games that can run on a mac. Guess it's time to configure Boot Camp.

P.S.
This is only the tip of the iceberg...

  • Lucas Arts: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
  • The original Alone in the Dark by Infogrames
  • The Tex Murphy Series
  • The Zork Series including Return to Zork, Zork Nemesis, and Zork Grand Inquisitor

There are numerous others I could list, but don't want to fill up the board. ;)

Games?

I am a pathetic little panda, but I'm addicted to..

World of Warcrack

Yea, I know.

Slightly more vintage, I'm a cribbage addict and play 5 days a week at lunch. Call of Cthulhu was a favorite back in my TT days, and I own the original box set D&D (not AD&D).

My parent's wouldn't allow me to play that, because of the "adult" theme. (Which, by the way, really is innocent as far as I understand.) They played it themself when we were asleep.
