Games for onboard graphics

As the title really, what games can you recommend for onboard graphics?
I'm currently playing Football Manager 07 but what else is out there?

What level of onboard graphics? Some motherboards actually have fairly decent chipsets in them. You could easily play some 3D games with one.

Starcraft? Half-Life 1? Deus Ex? Grim Fandango? SCUMMVM and the many Lucasarts 2D games? Pre-Generals Command & Conquer?

Onboard graphics can vary wildly in quality, from complete turd, to rubbish and poorly supported, right through to kinda half-decent with a good driver set.

If you've got something reasonably modern, then most titles which are 5 years old or more should be OK.

Anything over a few years old will run quite happily on GMA950. Starcraft will fly on it.

Nope, I heard they are adding that in a patch. Damn lazy devs

I could play WoW (with most stuff turned down @ 1024*768) on my works Laptop - that had some crappy old Intel graphics chipset in it.

lemmings,

Still brings a smile to my face!!!

Download DOSbox and pillage all those rich early 90s classics!

PS. All the old Infinity Engine RPGs should also work well - Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment etc.

If you want a shooter maybe try Quake 2?
