For serious though some real bangers out there like Power Of Chaos, Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper, Battlefield 1942 (!) and BF Vietnam (!).

*! these were triple-a games now totally free to play with fan dedicated private servers.

Personally as a hobbyist developer, I'm find at TON of inspiration from 2002-2015 era gaming and so many of these games can be necromanced through some darkened computer rituals and played. I think that era was the last breath of games as "interactive software experiences" rather than "software as a service" we have today. With a little digging you can find a ton of good games from that era that can be hacked into running pretty damn well on your machine.

Very succinct way to put it and captures my feelings exactly!
