If you missed some of the classic PC games of yesteryear, or if you have even tried to reinstall them on your new Vista box only to be thwarted by incompatability, well then I have the site for you... Good Old Games

Good Old Games has a growing catalogue of classic PC games guarenteed to work on XP and Vista.
There are some great classics on there including the Fallout series and the early Unreal titles, and they are all DRM free and come with support. At less than $10 or about £5 you can get the full game and install it as many times as needed where ever you like... are you listening makers of Spore?!
The thing that differentiates this site from others like Free Oldies is that the games that are included have to be good, so you don't have to sort through the dross to find the gems. I fancy checking out MDK and Messiah, which I missed the first time around. This got me thinking about some games I'd like to see on there, old games that I've loved and played repreatedly, or that I couldn't get to reinstall as they were built for old systems.
- American McGee's Alice
- Black and White
- Grim Fandango
- Half Life
- Trickstyle
The list could go on and on and on and Ariston ... but now I'm just showing my age.
