  GTA 2 is good for windows 2000, it may run slow but I found out that if you run some thing like iTunes in the back ground it runs faster.
  Another might be Fallout? Usally look for games that were created in the 1998-2001 era...

  Two 3D 90s games I played quite a lot on PC were MDK and Croc 2, both were released on PS1 (I'm not sure if they were re-released yet on PSN). Those are games I still like, and were designed for Windows 95/98 so it shouldn't be a problem at all. I can find links if you're interested.

  TheISOZone is safe, you just never heard of AdBlock.

  If you can get Windows 2000 to use that patch that makes it run everything XP can, you can get MDK off GoG and Steam.
  
  Croc 2 doesn't seem to be sold anymore.

  There's also freeware stuff that you can look at. You weren't quite specific on your preferred genre, so I'll link a few...
  Command & Conquer + Covert Operations (freeware since 2007, bugfix'd and updated for newer systems)
  Command & Conquer: Red Alert + Counterstrike + The Aftermath (freeware since 2008, bugfix'd and updated for newer system. Online installer, requires connection)
  Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun + Firestorm (freeware since 2010, repackaged, may require patching)
  Championship Manager 01/02 (freeware since 2008)
  
  And last but not least, browse the catalogue of the Game Graveyard, before the admin realizes some things aren't abandonware...

  C&C the first decade is a great choice.

  Wait, there's a patch to make it run everything that XP can?! Where can I find it?

  You can run Service Pack 5.1 and the UURollup for Windows 2000 by experienceRCOS. This allows you to run any software designed for XP on 2000.

  
  The unofficial Win2000 SP5.1 is here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details ... al_sp.html and here: https://goo.gl/MnXvCI
  
  UURollup is here (the password for the file is experienceRCOS): https://goo.gl/TW5vzQ
  
  Also worth noting is the last DirectX 9.0c release for Windows 2000, the February 2010 redistributable. Run this to extract the necessary files, and then, in that folder you just made, run DXSETUP.exe. : https://goo.gl/bPLtyL
