      You can try games from 20 or even 30 years ago. Plenty of bangers in any genre.

          All the Command and Conquer games
          Dungeon Keeper
          Carmageddon
          I’d say Civ 3 but I don’t think modern ones require strong hardware
          Baldur’s Gate
          It’s not 20 years old but Tyranny is a great RPG

            The games from my childhood!

            Tell me please, what would be the best way to play these games on modern hardware? VirtualBox? Proton?

              gog.com of course! They do a lot of work to make sure old games work on new platforms.
              Proton is probably a good option as well.

          Idk i didn’t play all that many games back then, Deus Ex, Return to castle Wolfenstein, Arma cold war assault, Vice City, Warcraft 2, Batrle realms, check those best games of all time lists. I mainly play racing games from back in the day, maybe you like different stuff. But if there is a community that takes care of the game to be up to modern resolutions and easy to run, it’s a good game worth trying out. Guy made a modernized port of the OG Medal of honor, it’s free and it’s alright. You can also emulate consoles so you can play Playstation 1 and 2 games, Nintendo and Sega stuff. I have like six golf games emulated on my phone, playing Silent Hill when i get a chance (good thing with emulation is you can save progress regardless of the game’s saves so you don’t need to grind like back on the day). For Dos games check out Exodos project. There are so many amazing games already made, polished and maintained by the community.
