Games for cheap laptop?

Stewy · 21 Oct 2009 at 20:07

Hey guys just wondering if any of you can spec me an old game that would play on my rubbish computer. Specs are: Celeron 2.2, 3.0 GB ram, Integrated chipset thing (I'm not very techy).

Thinking of the original Call of Duty or CoD2, whadya think?

Thx, Stewy

Diabloooo 2.

COD 2 will run but change settings so it uses dx7
cs:s i think it will run
original cod for sure
bf2 if you lower the settings

quake3, starcraft, savage 1, snes games, soldat, halo 1... all might work.

Stewy · 21 Oct 2009 at 20:10

Bf2 is quite tempting. If I get original CoD, would you recommend UO as well?

Mr. Anderson · 21 Oct 2009 at 20:20

i think a lot of people would recommend UO over cod.

Stewy · 21 Oct 2009 at 20:23

Isn't it an expansion though?

Mr. Anderson · 21 Oct 2009 at 20:28

runs standalone afaik

Plants VS Zombies. Can't go wrong

Celeron 2.2? Man that thing is crippled (though the mobile versions are slightly better). Although the graphics chipset is no doubt the main problem...

Unreal Tournament, Age of Empires 1/2, Half Life 1, X-Wing series (if you can use a joystick), Baldurs Gate 1/2, plenty others depending on what you like. Perhaps you could tell us what genres you prefer?

Peggle might just play on it lol.

No really it will, but also games like Counter Strike Source should play, on low quality but is a great game to work on all machines, also Half Life 2 should play.

World of Goo

Machinarium - it's a great little game if you like P&C games

Uplink.

:Edit: I'll just say it again incase you just read it without looking in to it...

Uplink looks a bit odd...

Think I'm gnna get UO if it is indeed a standalone.

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Planescape Torment, Fallout 1 and 2. I hope you like old-style RPGs
