Here are some external download links for some old school games. These were some of my favourite games back in the day. Some are freeware and there are also a few I am unsure about. 
I loved the Sierra and Lucasarts games the most, mainly because of the story line and characters. Though at times the frustration was beyond imaginable. One either had to work out a puzzle with a mouse or a type out a command/instruction with the keyboard.

Yeah im playing Discworld 2 at the mo. Ive added the link.
The Discworld 1 that was there was in French. Ive changed the link to an english version, that one may possibly work better for ya.
Its kickass finding these old school games with Windows installation sotware, ie remakes.
Got quite a few at home, eg california games, Indiana Jones, sonic(knuckles, knuckles and tails), mario bros 4 etc. Easy to install & run.
Oh and thanks for that Earth Worm Jim update
Me keen for a lan sometime, been ages. Looking for Jono Lomu now. I remember playing that shit at Toms
