    Lithus hit the nail on the head.

    CoD4 is fun! Try that one first.

    If some games are too old to work properly (or at all), DOSBox is the answer!!! :D :D :D

    You have BF2142 now, yo are set! BTW my name on there is themanwithsauc

    Yes there is no e on that name...I made it on a friend's account andhe never deleted it so whatever...

    I can safely recommend a few free games for you if you like, and maybe a demo or two.
    FPS-
    UT4 demo
    Warrock (full game)
    COD4 demo
    Savage: The battle for newearth

    MMORPG-
    Granado Espada (aweosme game)
    Tabula Rasa free trial (short but sweet, you might like it)

    Hi.

    it`s a nightmare getting a name in that game, it says they are all taken.

    I am called "KILL_ME_QUICK" :D :D :D

    I keep getting kicked off the punk bust games, after only a few seconds.

    I have to play the ones without, any ideas.

    Kill you later

    John.

    You need to manually update your PB files.

    I recommend NZone from NVIDIA for demo downloads. Fast and great selection.
