Is there any half decent 3d fps game that runs on the lappy, anyone knows any good fps games for:
P3 600 mhz
128mb ram
8mb ati rage
cd-rom
11 gb hdd
?

Mohaa doesnt work, because gfx doesnt support multitexturing, card does support openGL though...


Already have lots of sim, tbs, rts and adventure games:
C&C games
Aoe 1 & 2 + exp. packs
Theme hospital
Transport tycoon.
Civilization
Destruction derby 1 & 2
Commander keen 1-6
Space empires 5 ( yeah !, 3d game and runs )
And some more

But lappy lacks a good fps game.
Any other types of games also welcome, but must really be worth it, lappy just has 4 gb's left of free space, perhaps 5 if i put in my 1gb sd card but that's where it ends...
 
Quake 3 may play at lowish settings. Pretty sure i used to play it @ 640x480 on a similar spec

original UT, although you may have to use sucky software rendering with that card :(

We used to play it on the computers in work and they were not good computers at all.

Its amazing how little you need for the games of old. Might be worth trying HL1 and CS 1.6
 
Unreal Gold and Halflife Generations would be well worth checking out.
Wouldn't fancy trying to run Serious Sam on that GPU much.
 
Half-Life 1 is still a great FPS, even if it does show its age. The AI still comes across as suprisingly good, mainly because it was quite scripted. Plus it's mint for speedrunning.

You can't beat the "feel" of those old games (HL1, Quake3, UT). So much more responsive and crisp to control than anything more recent.
 
1942? Nah would be way too hard on the lappy I think, i mean mohaa wont even run giving error that card doesnt support multitexturing when loading a new game.

Ill try hl1, as never tbh tried that, just skipped straight to hl2, as for CS1.6, i dont know, i doubt it tbh...

Ill look into serious sam, deus ex.
Ill check out UT.
And ill try doom 3...

Thanks for the suggestions, anything else, fps or not fps i should add to my list, renember I don't have much space to play with, i might try installing games on a SD and swapping them each time depending on the game I want to play, but this will give me long loading times etc... So prefer to use the hdd space optimally, and want to keep 1 gb free on the hdd itself as spare, for pagefile, music, or whatver pops into my mind.

Use usb/sd for music/games or anything you say: Tbh i don't have that much usb capacity:
1x a damaged 512 mb sd wich damages a lot of files when copied on, but if they get copied ok for once, they stay safe, at leats thats good about it...
2x 1 gb proper SD's
1x 512 mb canyon mp3 player wich doesnt seem to like half the pc's i plug it in to, haven't tried it in lappy yet...
1x256 mb mp3 cheap brand but works a-ok.

In short, i have max 7.25 gb left to fill with anything, music/games/vids, but some, such as the usb stick's aren't big or fast enough I recon to do some stuff on, like games, the 2x1gb sandisk sd's hopefully are but I'm not sure about that either...

Preparing lappy for holiday basicly, so i'll have something to do on it when i want to relax, but with the specs and small ammount of space, it's kinda hard for me do decide what to fill it with...
 
if you have never played the original half life, you have seriously missed out.

get it on there, and Cs 1.6 should work fine in all.
