What aspects of a computer game are you looking for?

The best computer game ever is Star Control 2, but it's very old and the graphics are obviously not up to par. Good graphics for when it was written but obviously we are long past those days.

Here is where you can find the ported version to modern operating systems:

Maybe you can elaborate on genre you'd be most interested in and a general idea of your computer's era. These both narrow things down somewhat. Genra examples might include RPG, First person shooter, racing (cars, bikes, snowboards, whatever), strategy, arcade, etc.

I think that I am most interested in RPG

Everquest. See you in 5 years after your life is mostly shambles.

Battlefield 2 is great. It does take a pretty good computer to run it tho.

Online with others or in a scripted game with NPCs?

I'm anxiously awaiting "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion."

I think online with others would be fun but it really doesnt matter. I searched everquest in amazon and got about 40 different things which one should I be looking for?

Word x 1000.

Maybe not all-time greatest, but definitely top five.

This game rocks. You can play online with 16/32/64 people. I had never tried a 1st person shooter before (DOOM style game) but this one is fun.
