Wow look at me starting all these threads!

Anyway, I fancy some retro gameage. Late 90s-to2003 era stuff that works on Xp please. Cool stuff I've probably forgotten.

For example:
D3 - started recently. Has met with approval.
Shogo - display problems, community appears mostly dead :|
X-Wing vs T/Fighter - (Haven't tried yet)
Dune - (Ditto)
Hostile Watres - Played to death

What ya got ?

on a side note Zelda-Twilight Princess for GC still commands a premium. Which is bad if you fancy buying.

Descent 1
Descent 2

Best played in my opinion with D1\2x-Rebirth. There is D2X-XL, but also in my opinion it has so many (optional) "features" that it ceases to be D1\2 anymore.

X2/3 aren't really what I would consider Space Combat games in the same ilk as Freespace. Think more along the lines of 'Elite', it's mostly about trading and making money, admittedly, the only thing you can actually really use the money for is to buy bigger guns, but the combat in X left me pretty cold.

Yeah I thought of Monkey Island (and Grim Fandango) but I dunno if I'd like a point 'n' click...
