Nowadays, most things are leveled-out for play on both consoles and PC, so there's a similar feeling no matter what you're looking at (unless it happens to be PC-only, which the sort of "upper scale" games rarely are anymore).
But man... regardless of the varying quality of them, games like Thief, Messiah, Alice, and the original Half-Life all share a special place for me. I wish Outcast would have been in there too. I'm feeling more and more tempted to order a copy from that Amazon link right now.
Not very "PC gaming-savvy" nowadays, but hopefully it'd be able to run on my computer without too much extra work. Trying to get Thief to run properly within the past year was hell, and Thief 2 just wouldn't work.
Oh, and just to actually add to the topic:

This just worked for the mission it happens in. Kind of wish there were more instances of licensed music used during missions.
Generally GoG games run better because they're patched, install all the necessary codecs or run directly through Dosbox where necessary. But if you can finagle compatibility settings you can get just about anything running on Windows 7.
