I used to enjoy a 1st person shooter game called Descent. I remember being pretty gob smacked at the graphics when I put in the a Voodoo 3D card in my PC under Win 95. The Voodoo card went in a PCI slot and it used a pass through cable to take the graphics from the 2D card. Cool in it's day, kind of.

Get Ur-Quan Masters .. its free and its a brilliant Space/RPG game. Almost the precursor to Mass Effect on the Xbox.
The Ur-Quan Masters - News
Made in America by Accolade I think it didn't reach the UK or had poor distribution here.

The former look too dry and the latter too arcadey. Maybe a PC version of Risk will do.

I never did beat the computer (who played the ruskies), though I suppose that makes it realistic as the krauts never won either.
Is there any comparable strategy game on the PC from modern times? Seems they're all shoot em ups or graphic driven, or too hard to get into.
