    Maybe Thief 1&2, Deus Ex, System Shock (all of them are around $20). What graphics card you got?

    Quake 1, 2 & 3. Cheap and rather good, if you like of mindless blasting. If your AGP-card isn´t the only weak spot of your PC, I wouldn´t try Deus EX or System Shock 2...

    [edit] ...Nor -certainly not!- MOHAA: Allied Assault, or Battlefield 1942, or Return to Castle Wolfestein, or Hitman 2... Sheesh, he meant games that aren´t *too hard* for the graphics card! Hitman 1 and Half-life should run on any, decend AGP-card.[/edit]

    Tarsakh, I don't think he'll be able to run BF1942, RTCW or MoH 'couse those are pretty heavy games! Go for HalfLife, great game!

    You can allways go for some Tom Clancy Games. They shouldnt be that bad for your video card.

    I think it's ATI Rage Pro. BF1942 doesn't work.
    I'm going to try Half-Life.

    You just have to try Deus-Ex, its almost an RPG in first-person! Very good and involving game, and I don't think it's to proccesor heavy. I checked the system req's out and its:
    300 Mhz
    64 Mb Ram
    DirectX7.0 compatible 3D-card

    That shouldn't be to hard to play in most computers, and the recomended reqs are only 128 Mb RAM with a 16 Mb video card.

    You should try Half -Life. It runs smooth with an ATI Rage Pro, and it's a very good game. But stay clear of Counter-Strike, it's Evil! ;)

    Pyro, it´s much more. The engine they use is DeusEX is a heavy one: it uses at least 600 MHz, and the graphics card should be one of the better ones.

    Try Half-life, after all it was awarded FPS of the century by some Gamejunkies.. Theyre wrong it´s Wolfenstein 3d :spin:

    BTW, the thiefseries is not First Person Shooter, it´s First Person Sneaker, sorry for me being a nitpick
