Then there is the Bard's Tale series, which are not quite as 'action'-focused, since it is turn-based, but nevertheless a great story (entwined with the Ultima universe, in strange ways), developed by Brian Fargo and Co (who later on gave us the Fallout series) The EoB (Eye of the Beholder) series (1-3), were the prelude's to the Lands of Lore series (1-3) and although the Lands of Lore series vary in both quality and gameplay (Lands of Lore 1, being the prefered choice), the EoB series is well worth anyone's spare-time.

There is also an Xbox version available, which can be found for a couple of buck$ (I found mine for around 5$) You are constantly crawling through dungeons, exploring huge underground cities and alliances, all rendered in graphics that is very close to the one's of TES:IV, although not requering as bad-a** of a computer. Should that be too old for you as well, then there is but one obvious choice, which makes even TES:IV (Oblivion) tremble If that does not suit your fancy, there is always the Ultima Underworld series (the first 'official' true-3D-engine), these are truly immersive and if you have played the Ultima series (nevermind 8-9 and UO), you will recognize much of the games content. If you want to go truly oldskool, I'd most certainly recommend Bloodwych, also made by Mirrorsoft, although published later, it was the first Multiplayer RPG (that I know of) and although it may be troublesome fiinding someone to share the screen with, it's well worth your while in SP.

In the game you explore dungeons, fight monsters, solve puzzles, and so on.
