So... I was going to write too many words and then I thought what the hell:

Two games stand out for me. Both still with active multiplayer communities 20+ years after release which speaks volumes.

Civilization III. Less than a $1 on Steam currently.

Save 80% on Sid Meier's Civilization® III Complete on Steam

Sid Meier's Civilization III: Complete, the latest offering in the Sid Meier's Civilization III franchise, provides gaming fans with Sid Meier's Civilization III, the highly-addictive journey of discovery.

store.steampowered.com

The best dollar/euro you will ever spend. Update to version 1.22 of Conquests and you can play online.

Neverwinter Nights is the other one. The only game I am aware of where people fully roleplay what their characters say and do, so you get immersed in characters personal story just before an orc chops their head off. Currently 700 concurrent players across dozens of servers. Nothing else really like it for proper online roleplay.

For me, the two best games from the early 2000s are definitely Max Payne 1 and Wolfenstein: Return to Castle. I remember playing them when I was about 10 years old, and they felt absolutely amazing on PC. As a kid, I actually hated the nightmare levels in Max Payne , but aside from that I loved it , especially the sequel, Max Payne 2. On the other hand, I really couldn’t stand the third game.

For Wolfenstein: Return to Castle, it was my very first FPS on PC, and it has aged incredibly well , I still have a blast replaying it today.
Max Payne (2001)

Wolfenstein Return To Castle (2001)

Wolfenstein 3D is a classic, shootin' Nazis never gets old.

An excellent 90s game that I discovered late, I never thought about it, but Wolfenstein 3D is the same age as me

Star Trek Borg was remastered from a super rare Japanese DVD release of the game and is fully playable in the browser.

Amazing I once somewhat grasped games like Civilization or Simcity.

The N64 shifted me to pick-up-and-play game design, for good.

 

[EnthusiastGuy]

I’m curious, it feels like nobody ever talks about these games ever

I really enjoyed Diablo 2. And Desperados.
Not really sure people don't really talk about these, maybe the right question hasn't come up yet. :)

Another excellent FPS from the year 2000—and in my opinion, the best one of that year—is KISS: Psycho Circus.

It’s a PC FPS that’s now abandonware, which makes it much easier to play.

The game is actually pretty solid.You’re basically the band, saving the world in full 3D.it’s good—though I don’t really see much connection to the band’s universe. Strip away the name and characters, and it could’ve been just another random FPS but it’s definitely worth giving a try. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. A hidden gem,for me, it was the best FPS of the year 2000.

Grim Fandango, blade runner, small soldiers strategy game, duke nukem 3d, command and conquer, the old 2d duke nukem games. There was a few others but those are what I remember enjoying at the time.

There wasn't much I could play because whether a game would run or not was kind of hit or miss on that mid 90's office computer. I mostly avoided gaming on PC till more recently after the stint of playing some games back then, largely due to the fact that not many games I wanted to play were released on PC and of those that were it wasn't worth the investment at the time. I was interested in warhammer 40k dawn of war and Tron 2.0 from their release early 2000's but I have not played them yet. I do plan to though, been wanting to play them for a while to say the least

I love that era of fps games. No one lives forever, Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2, Voyager Elite Force, American McGee's Alice - These are all games that I remember from being a teenager. I distinctively remember thinking that these graphics were really good and before everything was old.

 

[eyixon]

I remember one game called Dangerous Dave. I would skip lunch just to try and get to the next few levels. Good times...

 

[SproutGremlin.exe]

For me it's gotta be Roller Coaster Tycoon. My brothers and I played the hell out of that game- there were definitely more than a few fights over the computer chair for that one.
When I found out about OpenRCT2 I went nuts playing it again.

 

[Spyrone]

A lot of good games released for PC during that era. Starcraft, Warcraft II & III, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Total Annihilation, Fallout 1 & 2 & Tactics, Baldurs Gate I & II, Planescape: Torment, System Shock 2, Clive Barker's Undying, Pandemonium, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem: The Manhattan Project, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Chasm: The Rift, Quake 1 & 2 & 3... so many.

 

[RandomHajile]

I talk about them on my channel a lot. (shameless plug)

But yeah, here isn't a place you'd expect too. Emulation fans tend to be console fans, from what I've noticed through the years. Though some are odd cases like me that grew up in the 80s with a PC (In my case, a Commodore 64 first) and an NES/SMS. I never really fell into that "console is better/PC is better" divide since I played both and saw the benefits in each.

I also had arthritis at an early age due to all that gaming on both platforms, fun stuff.

If you felt curious enough you would have played them already.

Never heard about Y's, Xanadu, The Legend of Heroes or Farland Story?

 

[TinRattler]

I was partial to point and click games like loom and monkey island. Only ever played these games at school as had no PC growing up

 

[DorfleFlorp]

Arcanum is the coolest rpg from that time

 

[DjQuick2008]

Need point and click suggestions on GOG please i play risk on steam.

 

[Burzuru]

the dark forces/jedi knight and kotor games are must plays for star wars fans.
daggerfall and morrowind i've spent a few hundred hours on each.
Vampire the masquerade: is really cool, i only finished it once and every other playthrough i quit half way. i would still highly recommend it.
postal 2 is great in a janky broken and edgy way.

I had 5 of them:
Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis
Sam and Max Hit The Road
Day of The Tentacle
Full Throttle
The Dig

Only reason i had them though was because my dad knew a guy where he worked who was getting rid of a pack of CDs and those discs were included along with some sampler demo CDs.

Both Indiana Jones games (Atlantis and Last Crusade) are a must. Also, The Last Express is a bit different, but definitely one of the best adventure games of all time.

There were a few PC games I played. Mostly educational games.
