Will Greenwald, Associate Editor May 23, 2007

If your computer is a few years old, it's easy to feel intimidated by most PC games. Everything needs a faster CPU, a faster graphics card, more RAM, and more space. Don't whip out the checkbook just yet, though. Plenty of great games can still be run on older systems. These five PC game collections contain dozens of titles you can run even on your old Athlon. From the comprehensive collection of Command & Conquer games to the endless expansions of The Sims, these sets will get your old computer gaming again.
