So recently I came up with the idea that I will open a YouTube channel for some gaming of mine. My PC is not too good so I would have to play some older games, classics. Do you know any games like this, maybe some games that don't end like Sims or Minecraft? So that I can make seasons in those?

I know there are many gaming channels, and I am not hoping for making a name for my self, but I just need something to do because all I currently do at home is sit and do nothing, so would rather find a hobby for my self.

Thanks for all replies in advance

Football Manager? These go on for ages, could start with one of the earlier ones if your computer isn't that good.

[DirtyRotten]

Any of the civilisation series or Heroes of Might and Magic.

Haha havent played Heroes of Might and Magic for a long time! The third one was my favourite Always played Necropolis. I am considering it, but I think I would have to play compaing not just normal scrims to get more viewers... Any other ideas?

Empire Earth

[zxh800]

Rome Total War

Age of Empires series

[Oh my Ms. Coffey]

Age of Empires 3 or Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

[Snagprophet]

Pokemon Red.

[IndyAM]

Sid Meier's Pirates is a great game, and lasts for ages! It does come to an end when you have to retire from pirating, but that takes literally months of playtime to achieve.

[SneakyDoug]

Final Fantasy VII/IX or age of empires - the conquerors expansion.

[ScheikundeFreak]

List of great games:
Empire Earth I / II or perhaps Stronghold 2 = PC
Pokemon Gold/Red/Ruby = Gameboy (or emulator)
Goldeneye/Mario Kart/Pokemon Stadium 1/2/Rayman 2/F-Zero-x = N64 (or emulator)

These are the games that have kept me busy since the 90s all the way up to now, so I suppose if you wanna go retro try them and enjoy xD (Y)

We all know you are going to film yourself playing roms lol lets not pretend that your not asking for ideas of gba games to illegally download

Baldur's Gate I and II and Icewind Dale I and II if you're into RPGs. Their gameplay and story still stand up to today's standards. Baldur's Gate II is especially considered one of the most influential rpgs - influencing many developers and series such as Dragon Age.

I have some great memories of Age of Empires, would recommend as a fun game if you can overlook 90s graphics.

Theres a guy that has been playing the one Civilisation game for 13 years.

The original medal of honour series. I got all 3 of them and moh airborne for £10 at game. Took me as an experienced player doing an hour or two a night 4 weeks to finish. Multiplayer is still well supported and the guys on there are hardcore so its still a challenge. Best tenner I ever spent
