Many of the best classics there for sale. Lots of goodies for your old hardware. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and PlaneScape: Torment are two favorites they have for sale.

Well there is Morrowind and StarCraft :whisper:

But http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Daggerfall_:_DaggerfallSetup_EN http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Arena_:_ArenaSetup_EN downloads of Arena and Daggerfall, but the best part is that it runs on any computer (I ran both of them on my Windows 7) and it self installs perfectly and has dos box already "attached" to it so you dont need to install it separately.

ya that just happened :tops:

I know the ones on the site are free but on UESP someone uploaded these when I was looking for help and I gave it a try and was quite please, to be honest :D

Loosely defining "classic" as "The year 2000 and earlier" which may or may not be too recent...

Starcraft: Brood War
Master of Orion I & II (especially II) (I installed MoO2 on my phone by putting all the files from the disc into a folder on it and installing it via aDosbox :P )
X: Beyond the Frontier
Homeworld
Mechwarrior IV
Total Annihilation

I unfortunately wasn't familiar with the Elder Scrolls until Morrowind, and although I am aware you can get Daggerfall and Arena now from Bethesda, I had trouble getting into them like I did with Morrowind.

Darklands, if you can get past the absolutely ancient graphics. It's an open world party RPG set in medieval Germany and was one of the big inspirations for Daggerfall and therefore later TES games. It just popped up on gog.com this week, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who's not put off by poor graphics. I've been playing it for years, and it's right up there with Daggerfall in my list of favorite games.

Hands down the Age of Empires series, setting the standard for RTS games since 1997. When Bungie were asked why they went to Ensemble Studios to make Halo Wars they said that one of the reasons was the awesometastic Age of Empires series. Yes, the makers of one of the most popular brands in the world said awesometastic.
