A great old one is better than a new mediocre one.  I'm sick to death of FS2, I lost Morrowind and Bloodmoon, MOO3 scared the crap out of me, and now I'm bored.  I've already tried the "go outside" thing, but the exposure to the sun scarred my skin forever.  What can I play?  I'd like open ended games like Morrowind, or a top-quality story driven action like FS2.  Somebody should have an idea.  Thanks .

Hmm, oldie but goodie?

Here are two suggestions off the top of my head, both freeware:

Betrayal at Krondor was the first RPG I played and still my favorite.  It has an excellent story with terrific gameplay.

Or try Zork.  One of the oldest adventure game series and still one of the best.

If you don't mind text-based games then Nethack is a great game to play. It's a rogue-like text RPG, imagine turn-based diablo with ascii characters. There're some frontends that give prettier graphics to the game. It's playable online via telnet too. Check out NAO.

Deus Ex...

[Spicious]

For story-based games I would suggest the Baldur's gate series and Planescape: Torment.

[Turnsky]

Fallout 1 or 2

[Ghostavo]

Day of the Tentacle

[Rictor]

On that note: Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series (especially MI 3)

Forgotten Battles Gold Pack and Pacific Fighters...140 WWII aircraft in the best WWII simulator ever (its really fun).  Don't let it scare you away...its more addictive than evercrack however so be affraid

KOTOR: A classic,  just finished it not long ago.
Sacrifice is the best 3rd person RTS ever.
Arx Fatalis is an experience.
Hitman is also a nice if not A1 supar game.

Grim Fandango?  No kidding!  I was in 8th grade when i played that... it was brand new at the time... we're talking late 1999, maybe early 2000

[TopAce]

Quake 2 or 3
JedI Knight I or 2
X-wing Alliance

[redsniper]

Mechwarrior 3. The best 'mech game ever. :thepimp:

[phatosealpha]

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Either of the fallout's is pretty open, as is Arcanum.
If you can find it, System Shock 2 is excellent.
Sacrifice is a load of fun, and probably dirt cheap if you can find it.
Chronicles of Riddick:EFBB is much more fun then any movie based game has a right to be.


Could always dig up a copy of MOO2 or even MOM if you think you can get it working.
And Homeworld is a lot of fun too.

Loved Grim Fandango, but I never could figure out what date or race was supposed to be on the counterfeit betting stub.

Diablo 1 and 2 always have a great replay value. Or Divine Divinity.
