Games with high replay value and low spec

[petemyster]

So I'm leaving to move to uni on the 19th, and I will be leaving my main desktop behind. For whatever reason if I am stuck in halls on a lonely night and need something to play, can you guys reccommend games that have high replay value, but will run on a laptop with 1.6Ghz duo core, 512mb ram and a 128mb graphics card!

I'm not talking about story based games which you could play over again (cause i don't think you could ) but instead games like plants Vs Zombies, defense grid, that sort of thing.

Thanks

Red Alert 2?

Diablo II.

Grab yourself a copy of 'Command and Conquer 1st decade'.
Can be found online for under a tenner and is brilliant.

Baldur's Gate 2 - I know it's story based, but even if you only play it through once it'll take you weeks

Civ 3 / 4
Alpha Centauri
Baldurs Gate 1 + 2
Sacred Gold (I much prefer this over Diablo 2)
C+C First Decade

A couple I thought of myself, others were already mentioned and I agree.

Ooooohhhh, if you can find it .... Warlords III Darklords Rising, madeningly addictive strategy game, its a shame they stopped making them, and that Warlords 4 was rubbish.

There is nothing wrong with Tomb Raider 1 through 5 or GTA Vice City or San Andreas.
