Help to find a game?
Currently i am a bit dry of games and would really like to try old or newer stuff.
COuld someone suggest me a game that is in the genre of MMO(is runescape good?),Turn based(except Homm5 I dont know anything) and of course RTS.
For RTS I have some ideas,Earth 2160 sounds fun and is an old but good game,C&C generals and (insert suggestion please).
I choose these older games becuz the new ones are not really not worth it,played RA3 and it sucked,played SupCom FA and the game did not work good even with my upgraded PC,played DOW2 and the game was too overrated by me.THe only satisfying RTS i played were WIC and C&C3.

I suggest you Dune 2000. It is similar to Command and Conquer. Here is a link to some Dune wiki pages about the game. Though you may also try your friend: google to gather more info on the game

You should try out Red Alert 2, 3 sucks, but 2 is probably the best rts out there, though normal skirmish gets boring fast, the campaign is excellent, and the units too.
Generals is probably the worst of the C&C games, actually it doesn't even like a C&C game, and if it wouldn't have the title I'd call it a great game, but it's just not a C&C.
You can also try something like Cossakcs it's a great medieval rts, imagine Age of Empires and multiply the variety and number of untis by 3. Tzar is also an interesting old rts.
For turn based, try Homm 3, it's way better than 5, and I can't really suggest any MMO other than WoW, though many say it's addictive, so it might be better to not even start it.

mmo: guildwars
rts: command and conquer 3 or red alert 2
I should suggest you to buy a very good "casual" game called plants vs zombies... is truly a great idea and a very fun game with some strategic flavor on it

Well you could install elderscrolls first game in the series 
Get TES: Arean to run under Dosbox? Its quite easy actually.
Get a new version of DOSBOX.
go to filepath: osbox.conf and edit it with your favoritre text editor. Under [dosbox], change memsize=16 to memsize=63.
Another note: I needed 40.000 cpu cycles to run the game without lag, with a minimal reduction in view distance. Usefull stuff to know.
add these lines to the bottom of the config(thats below [autoexec]):
@echo off
mount c "C:\Documents\DOS" -freesize 1000
c:
Change "C:\Documents\DOS" to where you want your DOS games, ex "G:\Games\DOS".
If your going to use a cdrom for something(heroes 1, TES 2, other old good games), add this line before c: in the config(aka last line):
mount d D:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
change D:\ to what your cdrom is.
Then to install arena
Grab this one: >link
Extract to ex "G:\Games\DOS"(aka where your dos folder is).
Then start DOSBOX, and type
cd arena
install
When a you get to a point there is this option "Configure game", go to "Select Music Card", and then select "General MIDI or MPU-401".
Get down to done and done so forth.
Now you start arena in C:\arena in the dos promt, cd is the change directory command for the note. If you are in C:\arena then type in
arena
to run the game.

Thanks for the many suggestions
@Galev
Dune 2000 is a cool game,I'll defenitelly look for that one.
@Oz
i have played RA2 to death.I even modded Yuris revenge with my own ideas.
I did not point it out,i am not keen on rts based on oldish times,especially at the industrial revolution.That is why i hate AoE 3.
As for Homm3,are the expansions good?I only have the original.
@lord_crusader
Guildwars sounds good,something new i guess.
I have C&C3 and RA2 already.
@del_diablo
I do like oldish games but not those that are that old.Sorry.I might get the ES4 blivion.
@Totoro
I dunno about that one,sounds "Different".
@Nebdar
Enlighten me about master of orion,i already check all the games except that one.
I recently discovered Sins of a solar empire,seems an interesting game that takes a while to play and win.Anyone know about his one?

Well it has two official expansions: Armageddon's Blade, and Shadow of Death.
The first one is an awesome expansion, it has what it needs, it adds a faction, and a lot of new neutral creatures, and ofcourse a campaign too. The Shadow of death, is just a new campaign and a new feature which enables the combination of some artifacts.
But if you want it to be really fresh, then I suggest you downloading Wake of the Gods. It's fan made but it's ads a ton of new things, like commanders to every hero which functions as one single powerful unit in battles, creature experience, 8th lvl creature, new buildings, and a bunch of random enconters. It also allows you to script anything in ERM, but I don't know how that works.
Horn of the Abyss is also about to come out, which eventually with it's 3rd version will give you an additional three towns, and a campaign for each.

We have a hot and fresh thread here. And you can Download Master of Orion 2 here. I bet that there is somewhere MOO 1 as abandonware and you could play it thanks to DOsBox.
But in short words it is Galaxy, Turn Based Startegy Game, You start with one or few planets, and you must win via military victory, defiting Antarans, or diplomatic victory. The Economy managment it similar to theall other game from that time, 1 milion colonists is one figure and you place it when it can produce food, production or research. The game has it own very good help when you right click or something, so you will learn by playing, and always you can ask

I took SOASE and well,it was not bad.Not realistic though for a game about space and no SP campaign.
I am still undecided about the RTS game.
C&C generals is something i have played and somehow am not sure about it..Earth 2160 is sucky according to the reviews.(no go for that).
I wanted something like generals and suprisingly found something.
The game act of war is nearly the same as generals and....if there was a game without a flaw i would take that game immediately because the narrator of the game sucks.
I mean,just listen to this carefully: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBity08oJes
Makes me cough and shiver,bah.
And there is my option of UaW.Another game which seems to be sucky.
