I never been a pc gamer the only game i ever really played was oregon trail and hitman,

Can you guys please list the must have games for your pc?

I dont care how old they are.
I been looking at some Abandonware.

Also does anyone play these games with the keyboard?
or does every one use a controller?

note; Im not a big fan of RPG games, Im more of a shooter

Thank you

I would say the Farcry is a must have for a shoooter. It is only about $20 now. Another game I seem to play everyday is Warcraft 3 (strategy) and I have had it for four years?? I have F.E.A.R but the missions seem too repetative. Rome total war is a crazy turn/strategy based game. If I could only have three games those would probably be the three I pick.

I got bored with HW3 rather fast. Now its hard for me to play games like that when you have much better looking games out there graphic wise.

and i can't believe anyone failed to mention these... counterstrike and half life 1 (if u can get it to work) and 2, the port of halo is good too i've heard.

I use a controller when I can because I was a console gamer first. Now MS has had the brilliant idea of using USB for their wired 360 control, so they make one you can use for windows, or the 360, its the same control, you only need the drivers if you already have a wired x360 control, it should serve you well.

i liked all the later zork games too, the now-dead adventure stuff is great, although i'm speaking of the graphical ones, like return to zork, zork nemesis, and zork grand inquisitor, they're pretty entertaining and they will work with dosbox. And don't forget all the great Scumm games from Lucasarts, also classics! Day of the tentacle, sam and max, full throttle, curse of monkey island, (the following two are 3d not scumm) escape from monkey island, and of course grim fandango! I really like the "classics" so that is where these late 90's and earlier suggestions come from.
