GeForce 5900 free game!
I got this game free with my geforce 5900xt as a kid and I never got past the first "level". But it sure was fun catching fish in a cave and cooking it on the fire, hearing nothing but the water and the echo of wind in the cave. The game has great atmosphere.

Great, but looking very dated now
This is a classic RPG from 2002 that introduced some unique ideas to the the genre, some more successfully than others! The world building is fantastic and the game will pull you into a story that will take many hours to complete. However, it is looking very dated now, and I didn't get on with the magic system, which requires you to draw symbols with your mouse. Make sure you install the Arx Libertatis mod before you play, which is pretty much mandatory to fix bugs and make sure you can actually finish the game!

Definitely nneds some TLC
This game is very rough and quite glitchy. Pick it up on sale to get a brief glimps in to a time capsule of vintge gaming.
