    So I got a pretty crappy computer atm due to some circumstances.
    Looks like im stuck with it for awhile..
    Let me give you an idea of how it runs, it can pretty much just decently handle FF8 Pc..
    So anyone know any games in that era that I could download and play and it still be fun?
    eg Hospital Sim, Tycoon games etc.

    This might be a little too old, but I remember Roadrunner and Descent being pretty fun, and Doom wasn't so bad either. ;)

    I second Worms.

    Also, I think most SIMS work pretty well on older systems. So if grabbed a GBA simulator or an SNES simulator, there are a million more games to play. :)

    Starcraft, no matter how crappy a computer is, it could probably play it :)

    Baldur's Gate! It came out in 1998 and I still play it every once in a while, although I spend more time on the sequel
    my favourite series, ever, and I'm pretty sure it would run. if you like RPG's at all, you should definitely try it
