Well you've got two real options. Either look for abandonware on google. Or look for an emulator for an older computer and its games. I have to say I still love using my ZX Spectrum emulator and some of the old games..... damn but they're addictive and they'll keep you busy for hours Wink

You could try Second life.... I mean its not really a game, but if you are creative you can make money to transfer into the real world, or scrape some pennies togethor and find a bargain bin!

coolROM.com! Hundreds of ROMs and emulators for n64, PS1, SNES, NES, Sagas, Gameboys, and a few other older consoles. Those old games were by far some of the funnest and should keep you entertained for at least a week.

low and....well....just low.

yea, I'm not really into those emulators, Spade and Ozzy. (Ozzy, no offense, but I would prefer games made after I was born Wink

). I just downloaded GTA 2, SWEETNESS, Thanks Akula, and now I'm in the process of downloading the BF2 demo. Thanks guys!

Yeah the BF2 demo rocks. A lot of my friends keep telling me to buy the full game, but to be honest until I get really bored of playing the Gulf of Oman map, I'll stick with the demo.

In my opinion, that is the best map of the lot anyway.
