Okay, so was an avid gamer like 15 years ago when 16 megs of RAM was the boss.

I'm not a big fan of online games like WoW or whatever, but I had a real raging crotchbat for a couple of titles and was wondering if anybody has made anything that resembles them that'll work on my modern laptop without DOSBox and a rhinoload of patience.

...

I like turn-based isometric games like X-COM: UFO Defense (Microprose) and Jagged Alliance (Sir-Tech). Any suggestions to more modern equivalents? Are kids today too ADHD for turn-based games?

...

I also like top-down scrolling space shooters like Raptor (Apogee) and Tyrian (Epic Megagames). Have they made a respectable Galaga ripoff in the last ten years?

...

Thanks.
