I saw Sacrifice for $10 at my local CC today.

I'm in a similar boat, having just gotten a new computer and looking back at some older games. My question is if any of these games have problems running under Windows XP. I'm looking specifically at Thief 2, but in general does XP have problems running older games?

depends really on the game. Look at the web sites of the game developers and they should have patches to fix them.

A quick one that comes to mind is worms world party. on XP it has a few problems running, but team 17 has a patch to fix it up. just have to go to the support site.

Most games run well on XP. Some Eidos games do not though. You might want to try the demo first before you buy an Eidos game that isn't made for XP.

Well, the "final" results for me are Black & White, Alice, Deus Ex and Morrowind (by way of a Diablo return). Thanks for all the great suggestions; these should keep me very busy for quite a while. I'll keep my eyes out for a sale on SOF2, Jedi Outcast and MOH:AA.

And if the person who mentioned that he's seen the Diablo Chest for $29.99 remembers where, please let me know. I couldn't find it anywhere for less than $49.99
