A few games i forgot to mention:

Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy (Fantastic cyberpunk point & click adventure with intriguing story)
Fable [1996, Telstar] (Point & Click adventure with fantasy theme, very pretty, good atmosphere)
Future Cop: LAPD (3D Mech game with the best multiplayer in a game ever, which inspired Dota and League of Legends)
Kingdom: The Far Reaches (PC remake of the arcade adventure game Thayers Quest. Limited interactivity but amazing atmosphere)

Also a fantastic recommendation. I own it and I've beaten it in days gone by. Other than the final chapter, fantastic game.

The final chapter did suck! Glad that wasn't just me.

iM1A2 Abrams, although this one runs perfectly on Windows XP (but not Win 7).
M1 Tank Platoon 2.
Jane's Fighters Anthology.
Jane's F-15.
Jane's Longbow 2.
Jane's 688(i) Hunter/Killer.
Jane's Fleet Command.
Joint Strike Fighter.
Jetfighter III.
Jetfighter Full Burn.
MiG Alley.
Sabre Ace: Conflict Over Korea.
Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers.
Axis & Allies.
Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001.

Some of the titles above cannot run well --or at all-- on Win XP and above, so a Win 98 PC would be nice. In any case, I'd suggest you equip your PC with a Voodoo or Voodoo 2.

I'd love a Voodoo card, but sadly they are expensive as can be.

How about GeForce 4600Ti? They're not that expensive, and they're much better than GeForce 440MX.

Also, I believe I own Magic The Gathering from 1997, the one colloquially known as Shandalar. Is Duels of the Planeswalkers a better choice?

Isn't Shandalar the name of the realm used by the game Duels of the Planeswalker ?

I only found 2 listings for 4600TI cards on Ebay. One was going for 900+ and the other for 300+

Thank you for all the recommendations! Magic & Mayhem looks interesting and Future Cop sounds awesome, I'll definitely be looking into a few others you mentioned.

Oh man it was cringe-worthy, haha. But again, otherwise a brilliant game.

My build is
AMD Athlon 1.3ghz
Geforce 4 MX 440 64mb
768mb RAM (I have Unofficial SP3 installed so I should be okay)
Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value

So anyway, I've been installing many of my old games like mad, just looking for some good recommendations for this build of things I might not have tried back in the day.
Currently installed:

Arcanum
Arcomage
Baldur's Gate II
Black & White (won't work though)
Carmageddon
Claw
The Dark Eye
Disciples 2 Gold
Europa Universalis
Fallout 1 & 2
Final Fantasy VII
Gothic
Heroes of Might and Magic II Gold
House of the Dead
House of the Dead 2
The Longest Journey
Mageslayer
Might and Magic VI
Might and Magic VII
Morrowind (need to upgrade my graphics card to make it run worth a darn at some point)
Quest for Glory V
Sacred Gold
System Shock 2
C&C Tiberian Sun
Unreal Tournament 2003 (I know 2k4 is same but better, but that's the one I played the most back in the day)
Wheel of Time

Anyway, that's it. I love getting ideas/recommendations from other people, hopefully this isn't just another one of my dead threads. Thanks!

Have you tried Final Fantasy VIII yet? (on steam but censored)
Also people don't talk about Rise Of Nations (which is on steam)
