10 Classic PC Games That Have Been Updated For Modern Devices
5. Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
Buy Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition If you want to see what a great RPG looked like before 3D graphics came along and turned the entire genre into action-oriented first- and third-person games, then this would be a great place to start. Baldur's Gate II was made by the developer-publisher dream team of BioWare (Dragon Age, Mass Effect) and Interplay Entertainment (Fallout 1 and 2), throwing you into the magic-filled world of Forgotten Realms. You and a party of up to six characters traverse the world, carrying out quests, exploring diverse, beautiful locations, and engaging in tactically rich combat based on the AD&D (Advanced Dungeons and Dragons) rules. The story, characters, and largely pre-rendered graphics still hold up today, and are best appreciated in the Enhanced Edition, which improves the interface, adds support for higher resolutions, and throws in all the expansions, making it the perfect way to enjoy this RPG classic.
