Load Dos Box onto your PC then pick up a copy of Ultima 7 the Serpent isle. It has a great story line, Interesting and varied game play just the right level of difficulty and is totally interactive every item you see can be picked up moved or opened. NPCs have lives that they live independently of you and the world they live in makes sense.
It avoids many of the Japanese RPG traditions such as endless unavoidable battles or villages full of people standing around responding with one line of dialogue.
Ultima Underworld 2 labyrinth of worlds is also great but the graphics have aged a lot worse then Serpent isles have.

this isnt a bad idea, i got ultima underworld 1 going on my win98 box (and actually i think i got it to work in xp too with a bit of poking around). never beat it (again, save games, but actually they might be in my archives somewhere, maybe ill pull it out?) i got to maybe level 5 or so. uu1 was pretty awesome. i dont mind the gfx at all.
