Damn...uh..
Any of the King's Quests
Sanitarium
Return to Krondor
Betrayal at Krondor
Diablo and Diablo II
I know that some of those games aren't necessarily "great," but they're entertaining, at least. ;) Neverwinter Nights won't run on that machine, so I wouldn't bother trying.
A good source for RPGs would be to grab an SNES emulator and a bunch of ROMs.
You could also go to the Underdogs (http://www.the-underdogs.org/) which has enough games to keep you busy for years.

i am on that underdog site right now, and it look pretty good.
I have almost every snes rpg ever made, and i have beaten almost all of them :P :D :P . I have also killed both of the Krondor and Diablo games. I think I'll try the King's Quests and Sanitorium one's.
Anyone have any other suggestions??????

You will love "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" I already finished it. By the way I also have a crappy
computer. I have a 400 mhz. But it runs great. Let me know! <_< Well this is more of a Quake type
game rather than rpg but you should still try it.

i have tryed Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it's ........ok but nothing big. i have never been big on action-shooter type games. i kind of like Simulation and Strategy games, but i LOVE rpg's. B)
Supernatural

RtCW is the best online game ever, IMO.

American McGee's "Alice"
Clive Barker's "The Undying"
"Theif Gold"
"Tomb Raider" (all of them)
I think these 3D games are considered as role playing games. Probably not what you want.

I hope you don't mind playing old MS DOS games?
My favorite game is Dungeon Master! (The graphics suck comparing to the one's now but the game play is really cool!)
Or Eye of The Beholder I and II, but still.., these are very old games! BUT I LIKE THEM!

well theres lots of RPGs out now....
Lets take the MMORPG genre for example
Dark Age of Camelot
Everquest
Everquest 2
Asherons Call
Asherons Call 2
Star Wars Galaxies
Ragnarok Online
Helbreath
Ultima Online
Necron
Earth and Beyond
and many others at that..
while most cost money
some are free (Ragnarok and HelBreath)
so if u have a fast connection go and dl them.
On the other hand if you computer has a AGP slot you could simply buy yourself a Geforce 4 Ti4200 for about $125 dollars which isnt really that much and then you will be enjoying your games in T & L splendor! :D
Good Offline Games
Diablo 2
Bulders Gate 2
NeverWinter Nights
Morrowind
cant think of any more......
if you real desprete DL a PSX Emulator and have a go at the FF series i garrentee it will take you at least one week to finish on of them (unless you dont sleep...)
PS. Superman your obviously a RtCW freak and i respect that but dont go saying stupid things like its the best online game ever...
Counter-Strike is and has been Number 1 since 2000
i mean for gods sake more people play the SIMS ONLINE then RtCW
HALF-LIFE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
That is All.

Thief is a good first-person game which could maybe be classed as RPG.
It's not a shoot-em-up, it's a sneak-em-up.
It really is a great game.
There is a sequel, too.
Thief 1 is called "The Dark Project"
Thief 2 is called "The Metal Age"

Clive Barker's Undying is considered a shooter.
Thief kind of fits into its own category, it's designed as a shooter but, as Lamesy said, it's a "sneaker."
American Mcgee's Alice is an action game.
The Tomb Raider series is of the action/adventure genre.
Come to think of it, the King's Quest series fits into the adventure genre, with the exception of 8, which is action/adventure.
The Gabriel Knight series is awesome as well, but again, isn't an RPG genre but adventure.
I'm too much of an RPG geek. <_<

Even when he buys a geforce 4 he wont be able to play games like morrowind and neverwinter nights unless he upgrades hes whole computer.
PS. Superman your obviously a RtCW freak and i respect that but dont go saying stupid things like its the best online game ever...

He said that rtcw is the best online game ever in his opinion. ;)
@greekboy download diablo and diablo 2 they are really great games. :)

With that machine, Diablo 2's going to lag up like a bitch in points, anyway.
The best i've come across is Might & Magic 6 & 7. Graphics are'nt to hot but i love the gameplay. Sin & Requiem are another 2 of my Favourites.

Icewind Dale II plays like Baldur's Gate. Search for 2 .bin files from Sharereactor.

I loved Dues Ex...its kinda a Hybrid RPG-Action game, you probably already plyed it though. Arcanum is a DEEP game. If you ever Played the Fallout series and liked them, you'd love Arcanum.Darkstone is OK, Kinda short though, but overall worth a look. Might and Magic 6 is a Another huge game, at the time it was touted(Checks dictionary) as a game that had over 100 hours of gameplay.

Oh... About thief I dled the first one but I can't find a full version of the second one. Can you give me it's stats and keyword to find it or something? All I see under thief metal age is the demo. :unsure:
Go with the Fallout Series games, start with 1 so you can catch on to the story line which connects to 2, then play Tactics. I have a crappy computer also but these games run great and are very fun.
maybe

Try the older "Eye of the Beholder" series... it's DOS based and old i know, but very cool gameplay!
Here is a great list of RPG games: RPG's (http://www.mobygames.com/genre/sheet/genreId,50/)
Or look here: Eye of the Beholder 2 (http://ironfrost.net/neverwinter/eob2.html)

hey i have a question:
i was reading that list someone gave and I noticed that he said Ragnarok Online was free. Last time I checked you needed to sign up for an account and give a credit card number or something. So, were u saying that the program is free or...is playing it free? yea...cause i went on their site and it looks really neat and i want to give it a "go"
GET A GAMEBOY ADVANCE EMULATOR OF KAZAA & LUNAR LEGENDS!!
IVE GOT 125 GBA GAMES JUST LOOK FOR JMR
