Hi, Im 15, just got a new PC and thinking of getting some good fun classic games that are within my budget of $70 NZD (around $54 USD) as my parents don't like to buy me games.I have the list narrowed down to these few games:

 

battlefield 2 deluxe edition

 

elder scrolls: oblivion

 

star wars empire at war

 

 

 

any other games suggested may also be considered

 

 

 

btw, here are my specs: 2GB RAM,Intel e4500 DC 2.2GHZ, Geforce 8400GS 256MB, 250GB SATA HDD, Vista Home Premium

Battle field is a great game, I play it all the time.

 

 

 

However, since most of the replies your going to get are going to be leaning toward Oblivion, I'll vouch for that to.

 

 

 

Besides the default hundreds of hours of gameplay with miniquests and just riding your horse around :wink: , the pc version offers tons of patches, updates, and just more crap to add to the game.

 

 

 

 

 

So potentially, you're looking at a lifetime sitting at your computer.

 

 

 

Also, theres already one expansion out for Oblivion.

 

 

 

I'd get that :)

^ Although, I've heard that some of the quests in Oblivion are tedious and boring to the point that you want to rip your hair out.

 

 

 

But, I've heard mainly good from Oblivion, so I would recommend that, as well as Neverwinter Nights and the Diablo series.

You could spend the rest of your childhood on oblivion if you wish. I really do suggest it.

 

 

 

Oh, but in case you can't find anything, you can send me your computer. :D :) :(

Are you just looking at games released within the past few years?

 

 

 

I would check out Valve's service, steam. They have a sale going on right now and a lot of their games are pretty cheap.

 

 

 

 

 

- Orange box $37

 

 

 

- GUN $10

 

 

 

-id Super pack $52 (ton of id games in it)

 

 

 

- Valve complete pack $74 (above your budget, but has all of valve's games in it.)

 

 

 

- Bioshock $37

 

 

 

- Stalker $22.50

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lot of good choices there. :thumbsup:

Well I would suggest buying older games, maximum amount of fun vs. amount you spend. Rather than picking up Oblivion, pick up the GOTY edition of Morrowind. You wont spend as much, and it has just as much game play (if not more, with mods and stuff). You can download graphics packs to make it look basically as good as Oblivion, if graphics are your thing.

i would go for BF2 as a priority, but if possible get Oblivion aswell as its a quality game

well you could torrent a few games,which allows you to get them for free.

Which is also illegal and you won't be able to play them online.

battlefield - no debate.... actually, bf2 and oblivion are all i have installed on this computer now that i look at it... buy bf2, pirate oblivion - win :D

hmm yeah, bf 2 is highrst on my prioity list but unfortunatly don't have access to a credit card, will my budget 8400Gs handle bf2?

I'd recommend some of the cheap Sold Out label stuff.

 

 

 

Diablo 2

 

Dungeon Siege

 

Homeworld

 

Sim City 3

 

 

 

... just a few of my old favourites

2 expansions actually

 

 

 

knights of the nine and shivering isles. both of which come in the GoTY edition along with all the other DLC

I'd say low everything, max view distance and you'd be alright. your ram and cpu will compensate a fair bit for load with the lower gpu.. and if it's hard on bf2.. oblivion isn't going to be much better :-? Short answer is get the bf2 demo and see how it runs, if it struggles.. you're either going to have to conceed defeat and get a better card, or put up with playing older games...

Unreal Tournament Classic.

 

Freeware, still LOTS of pepole playing.

 

 

 

Otherwise Battlefield 2. But not the original. Get some mods for it. Vanillabf sucks.

I'd agree with on apart from the problem of finding a good server with a low enough ping for NZ, they are almost non-existant. Not to say they don't exist, but for GOOD mods, outside of ladders... not a lot to offer if you're after populated (frequently) servers.

Point of existance 2, sandbox and project reality are the 3 best IMO

Starcraft Battle Chest: $20

 

Half Life Classic Pack: $10

 

RE 4: $15

Warcraft 3 BattleChest (includes Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne, as well as a World Editor program) - $20 USD

 

 

 

Knight Online (download) - FREE!

 

 

 

Flyff (download) - FREE!

 

 

 

The Elder Scrolls 4: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition ( Includes TES Morrowind, Tribunal and Shivering Isles expansions, as well as TES Construction Set for making your own mods) - $10-15

 

 

 

Starcraft Battlechest (Includes Starcraft and SC: Brood Wars) - $10

 

 

 

So, from this, with $40 USD and a good internet connection, you could get 5 games, and a total of 5 expansion packs for 3 of them, and 2 map editor programs.

 

 

 

Sounds like a Bargain! :P

 

 

 

EDIT: For The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind GOTY, I said that the Shivering Isles was an expansion. I meant to say Bloodmoon..heh.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition ( Includes TES Morrowind, Tribunal and Shivering Isles expansions, as well as TES Construction Set for making your own mods) - $10-15

 

 

 

I think you mean Bloodmoon :D .
