Recommend Some Games (PC)

Theriandros:
First off, I gotta say this: I am a noob when it comes to gaming. I have a relatively crappy computer, and my experience for the last few years is mostly limited to RTS games. So, I wanna play new stuff.

The only rule here is that it can't be new/top-of-the-line. Processor's only about 1.7 GHz and the HD is 1 GB, but they don't always work up to the potential, either. =/  So, yeah. Fun but undemanding games in terms of hardware.

LTK:
I guess you don't need a lot of power to play Dyson if you're into a light sort of strategy. You can try the demo of World of Goo to see if it runs. As for older games, the first Half-Life is a very good FPS, and I can also recommend Deus Ex as a FPS-RPG. I'm pretty sure neither will have problems with low performance.

KvP:
A lot of the games on Good Old Games will run on your computer. Most of them, I'd wager.

To play: X-Com, Deus Ex, Jagged Edge 2, Fallouts 1 and 2.

TheFuriousWombat:
Whenever this kind of thread comes up, I always recommend No One Lives Forever b/c it's a brilliantly made FPS. So...yeah, that.

snalin:
Try out the demo for Avernum or geneforge, here. They are pretty simple, but if you like them, you'll like them a TON. It's really either yes! or noooo! for those.

The Fallouts are great too - 1&2 really shine, but remember that they have to be patched.

If you haven't played them, the two first Diablo games are gold. Tons of hacking zombies and skeletons and demons and whatnot to pieces. Great, great!

I'd also like to recommend you to this thread, Blood Bowl is a bunch of fun.

If you like something a bit faster, Cave Story is a great, free game. Seriously, it's got everything that a 2D sidescroller can have, I love it to bits. Google is your friend.

There's also quite a few excellent stratergy games. I'd suggest finding out if you prefer RTS (age of empires, Warcraft 1 through 3) or turn based (civilization). If you've got that one down, there's a lot of fun games in either genre.

Morrowind also shines like a fucking diamond, one of the best RPGs that's a bit more recent than Fallout and System Shock (another great FPS/RPG), but I think your computer can take it on.

Screens, since I'm a nice guy:

Avernum 2 (all the games look pretty much like that)
Geneforge
Fallout (I think this is number two)
Diablo
Diablo II
Cave Story
Age of Empires One, two and Three
Warcraft One, Two and Three.
Civilization Three and Four (if you haven't played them before, you really don't want to try 1&2; too old)
Morrowind, also in [ulr=http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x227/JethroVegas/morrowind9_640w.jpg]Third person perspective[/url]

That's a few. Should take a couple of years to finish.
