Microsoft doesn't include games with Windows anymore (I think Solitaire may be a free download), and that's a shame because I got some good use out of them.
Here's a list of games that have been included with Windows to jog your memory
I liked Minesweeper a lot, but one of my brothers, the programmer, was really into it.
I played Solitaire, but not that much. My mother, on the other hand, was nuts for it for a good long time. I think she got her money's worth for the PC just from Solitaire. I was trying to think if she played anything else, but I can't think of anything. She may have played Hearts a bit. I remember playing Hearts, but don't remember for sure if she did. I also played some Free Cell.
The game I liked the most, though, was Space Cadet pinball. I once went on a business trip to Dallas for two weeks and spent almost all my spare time in the hotel room playing Space Cadet. Other people were out taking tours, visiting the JFK assassination museum, and eating at restaurants, but not me. I was ordering room service and playing pinball haha.
As kind of another category, some PC's used to come with a selection of games on disk. If you want to include your favorites of those, feel free. All I really remember is this motorcycle racing game (maybe called MotoGP) which I played a little.
