What games would run on this laptop?

Laptop Specs:

AMD Athlon XP-M 2000+ (1.53GHz)
512Mb Ram
VIA/S3G UniChrome Graphics (32Mb)
40Gb HDD

I know its old.

So far I have managed to play:
Half Life
Monkey Island 1 & 2
GTA 2
3D pinball

I tried playing Call of Duty, but the GPU doesnt support Open GL apparently.

What games would you recommend that would run on this laptop?

"Deus ex" would probably work.

Homeworld!

Max Payne?

Homeworld.. You reckon?

That would be cool. I am currently playing OGame.org so Homeworld sounds appealing.

Thats awesome..

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! Much appreciated.

Keep them coming... this thread will be well useful for when I get stuck looking for games to play.

NFS:2000/Porsche Challenge should run.
Carmageddon as mentioned or Carmageddon II which I think might even be slightly the better game.
Toca and Toca II should also run although they will look pretty dire by now I think.

Starcraft ought to work fine although I'm personally not a fan.

The original Soldier Of Fortune would probably run.
Maybe Thief 1 or Thief 2 but I think you would be out of luck with the third installment.

2004 will cringe at the VIA chip's fillrate and lack of hardware T&L.

Have your updated you gfx card drivers, the stock xp drivers ALWAYS give an openGL error?
