Laptop from work, need low spec games.

Frapple · 18 Apr 2008 at 17:26

1.4 Celeron M, 1.2GB ram, x600 Radeon Mobility.

Can play that new trackmania 800x600 everything on low (not minimum) and im installing BG II now, hopefully that works on XP.

Any recommended games? Mostly just for playing in bed.

Have you not got better things to be doing in bed like say... sleeping?

You could try the original Half Life, that shoud probably run.

Tom2k8 · 18 Apr 2008 at 17:34

Hmmm, the Rollercoaster Tycoons are classic. 1 & 2 should run fine, not sure about 3 though !

modo77 · 18 Apr 2008 at 17:46

Football Manager
Civilization 3 (maybe 4 if it will run on that spec)

Indy500 · 18 Apr 2008 at 17:56

X600 should be fine for a lot of games, but the CPU's clocked a little too low even for a mobile.

It'll prob chug it's way though even hl2 reasonably well. I know we've got it running on quite a bit lower spec machines than that for lan parties.

Q3, Savage, Soldat, Starcraft, etc are all good too.

Anything 2004 or earlier I guess.

FrenchTart · 18 Apr 2008 at 18:08

Yeah, seems a reasonable guesstimate to me.

Thanks, I'll look in some bargain bins at the weekend and I'll get a spare mouse from work, can't get on with this touch pad.

If it belongs to your company be careful that you don't get into trouble for using it in that way.

I could run Farcry on an x1150 integrated chipset (admittedly a better CPU) so it should handle that ok.

peetee · 18 Apr 2008 at 19:19

x600 should do most things fine, i think thats whats in my mates lappy and he managed to run cod4, coulda been a x700 mind.
You will find a lot will run, the cpu will be the problem.

Theme hospital is a must for laptops.

Overlock the GPU and CPU if possible! *

*do not actually do this since its your companies property.

lolwtfbbq · 18 Apr 2008 at 21:53

OpenTTD, Theme Hospital, Roller coaster tycoon 1&2, flash games...

Monkeynut · 18 Apr 2008 at 22:01

Try the original Empire Earth. It ran at max detail at 1280 X 1024 on my Radeon 9000 (32mb) laptop!

Amnesia · 18 Apr 2008 at 22:47

i cant even get gta san andreas to run ok in low detail on my laptop(c2duo with 2 gig ram).
its crappy intel integrated graphics chipset really lets it down.

lowering the res to 800*600 can make it playable but 800*600 looks so so bad on a tft.....crt's really do own at that res as i dont mind playing most games at that res on a crt.
