Laptop Games

LitoLito Join Date: 2003-09-04 Member: 20560Members
I need games for my laptop!

I'll take any kind of game except puzzle and sports games. It being free is a plus. Multiplayer preferred, but not limited to. Low requirements. I've already played Jumper and Decker and N, so scratch that off your lists :|

These are my comp stats:

O/S : Windows XP Professional
Processor: Intel Celeron MMX 400 MHz
Memory: 256
Video Card: (don't laugh) Neomagic onboard videocard, 4 MB vram.

All input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    hmm, yes, I have emulators, but I haven't really found that many great games. I'm too lazy to look for them too.

    Stars
    Master Of Orion 2
    Diablo2 (since its low spec)

    Diablo 2 won't run on that, I suggest...

    Tetris
    Pac-man
    Pong

    I would also say solitaire and minesweeper but those are included!

    Looks like Star Control 2 is classified as abandonware...its still a bit tricky to find. I found Star Control 3, however people say that its not nearly as good as 2. I did find this remix pack for Star control 2...I don't understand. Can you play a remix pack without Star Control 2?

    Also:

    Command & Conquer (anything up to and including Tib Sun will run fine. Possibly RA2 too)
    Starcraft

    Ok sorry, I meant if you <b><i>Want</i></b> to play Diablo 2 then you should upgrade your computer because even though they say it will run, it will look like crap and it will be more work than fun just getting past the FPS lag and low resolution.

    Nethack.

    I'm sure someone, somewhere has got Nethack to run on a <i>toaster</i>.

    Yes, but the toaster was running Linux. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'm going to suggest a couple games for older-spec machines that don't require real-time twitch reflexes with the mouse cursor, because I know how horrible the built-in touchpads/eraserheads can be for aiming.

    Fallout 1 & 2, and Planescape: Torment.

    No 3D card needed, works on pentium 2's, and they're three of the best computer games ever made.

    - StarCraft
    - WarCraft 2
    - Final Fantasy 7, PC version.
    - Diablo 1
    - GTA 1 or 2
    - Chess (One of my favorite games ever ^_^)

    Oh yeah, you should also try Dungeon Keeper, and Uprising, they are some old school games that kick ****!!

    Oh yeah, try theme hospital(also by bullfrog entertainment before they went out of business). Great games, pick them uP!.
  • SkulkBaitSkulkBait Join Date: 2003-02-11 Member: 13423Members
    Don't forget the Windows version of the original X-Com. That game alone can keep you occupied for years.

    LBA 1 & 2 - a pair of 3rd person action/puzzle/RPG games. Very good storyline on each.
