Ah, that'll seem like gibberish to anyone who didn't play it, but it's one of the all-time great gaming moments.

Ah ecco the dolphin, top game

i think you can still get that for the PS2 actually i could be talking complete rubbish though

Just got round to digging out my PS2 collection (as I dont know if your PC will handle "modern" games......
Try

.hack 1 - Infection
.hack 2 - Muation
.hack 3 - Outbreak
.hack 4 - Quarantine

The above are a virtual online-game (in that it simulates an online game)

Atelier Iris - Eternal Mana

Breath of Fire - Dragon Quarter

Disgaea - Hour of Darkness - Not an RPG, but RPG turn based puzzle strategy game thats quite fun.

Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy X

Final Fantasy X-2

Kingdom Hearts --- Final Fantasy meets Mickey Mouse (Square/Disney project)

Star Ocean - Till the End of Time

Most of the above are in my "Games to be played" stack rather than games I have played. I guess that if our paths were to cross I could be persuaded to loan most of the above to you.

Final Fantasy 6 (Super-Nintendo) is very goood, 5 isnt bad and the earlier ones a little dated.

Been playing some interesting ones on my PSP - which now, like the PS2 plays most PS1 games too

The original Phantasy Star is available to download for PC I see... That would possibly be considered cheeky though. Maybe I'm biased because I played it first time round, but I just replayed it when it came out for the gameboy advance, and it was still pretty fantastic. You can kind of tell the design team for FF7 had played it, put it that way

If we are going retro then get a Megadrive emulator and Phantasy Star it

Get a NES emulator and get the early FF games.

If you plug your wii in to broadband you can download N64 games for it.

Diablo II

I've found a site on t'interweb that allows you to download old games to play on your PC and I was hoping that some of you experts would give your opinion.

This is the site, and for a very small sum it seems as though I could get quite a few to keep me amused

http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/

Any thoughts?

try bioshock Lissa, i'l post you it if you want, fable is a good RPG its a bit like Zelda

STOP!! Don't pay for that site, download an emulator and there are site which have every old game for free, no need to pay for it. On the other hand, this man:

Try Oblivion, I loved that. Baldur's Gate is also blinding.

Thanks for all your replies

I have the FF series 7-10, so I could just dig those and my PS2 out and replay them. Sephiroth....................mmm!

I'll also check out downloading an emulator. There are loads of games I would have loved to play a few years ago but never had the time or spare cash to do so.

Think I'll not replay the Resident Evil ones though, and definitely NOT Silent Hill.................that game scared the cr*p out of me
