recently bought a reasonable rig, what are some good PC retro games?

You didn't even specify an era. You might as well have just posted "What are some games"?

Gothic 1 and 2 if you don't mind somewhat clunky controls (that are actually fun once you get into them better).

Doom is the only good one.
Everything just wishes it was Doom.

Half Life and all it's expansions are good. Goldsrc has some of the best movement of any fps engine

OP here, im only concerned with PC vidya, which always seemed to me to be a rather small pool, yours would include console ones, which i dont care about

if you're talking about doom that release in the 90s, yes. but modern doom has none of those limitations and still has an active modding community. new dozens of new mods/mod updates dropping every week

Desu just drop what you like, I have always been a doomf*g and mainly played other FPS, played aoe2 and wz2100 and wc3
Didn't really try much outside of FPS, didn't specify any genre because uhhhhh I thought you guys liked to sh*tpost and make inane arguments about which one is the best Vidya, too much specificity is for bundles of sticks

You really know nothing about PC gaming. There are more PC games than every console library in history combined.

Ok Graf. There's other ports you know, and /vr/ graphics aren't "bad".

Not if you want to run them in 4k or higher.

Lords of Magic. At least that's what I would play if I had an old computer to play around on.
