im only a few weeks away from buying my new PC but in the mean time i want some games to play on my old P4 laptop. its an Inspiron 8600 so its quite old but ive managed to play through company of heroes on the lowest graphics :p

could you recommend me some single player games with low system requirements to play for the next few weeks? any thing but racing games really because i dont have a wheel to play them with. so yeah, suggest some good games :)

thanks,

Jake
 
Half life, half life 2, Deus Ex, maaaaaaaaaaaybe portal..I think all of the old C&C games are still free to download..
er... Torchlight's cheap on steam at the moment, Psychonauts is good fun..

Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2, v addictive...

Those are the first things that come to mind that you should be able to get hold of :p
 
Braid
World Of Goo
Plants vs Zombies
Half Life 2 if you haven't played it, should run ok.
Trine
Torchlight (on offer)
Psychonauts
Would the original STALKER run ok?
Rollercoaster Tycoon (1/2)
Age Of Empires 2
 
That laptop has a Mobility Radeon 9600? Anything released prior to 2007 should work then.

Just go easy on the eye candy for the more recent ones.
 
thanks for suggestions guys. i can play and have Rollercoaster Tysoon 3 but ive played it to death :( same with age of empires 2.

my laptop has an nvidia GeForce FX 5650. its alright i think.
 
unfortunately i've played that to death too! :( i think i've played too many games...

and yes i think it is a better game that AoE2

Any of the grand theft auto games should run ok barring 4 ofc. Would take you awhile to get through them all.

Ceaser 3,

Fear might run ok i remeber it beng a bit demandig gamewhen it first came out might wanna try the demo first.

Any of the sim city games or the sims games.

The orignal serious sam.

Deus Ex.

Call of duty 1 and 2 shoudl run ok and good single player.

The id super pack on steam would be a good buy, wih the old skool games like doom and quake, wolfenstein, hexen . The only game you couldnt run in that pack would be doom 3 i would susspect. This would also make your new pc an their graphcis seem even better when playing such old games :)

Just a few suggestions other people havnt said.

once again thanks guys :)

im going for Torchlight after having a look on YouTube and people saying its similar to Diablo which i loved :D
 
There's an awful long list of games we can give you here, do you have any particular preference towards FPS, RTS, RPGs?
 
i love RPGs, FPS and RTS :p so most things really. just keep the suggestions coming as i will probably play these games on my powerful new desktop anyway and it also gives others ideas on what to play on a naf system.
 
FAIL!

If you aswer with a question (like in MP) they guy gets killed and you can nick his robe! :p


It's the same stats as combat armour but really light.
