Classic PC games.

[king_loz]

I just boguht an old laptop of eBay for word processing, surfing, and playing my favourite SNES games on. Its a P166MMX with 48mb of ram, a 2gig HD and a 1mb video card, and all for under £50, not too sahbby a deal eh? I loaded Duke Nukem on the other day from my old games cuboard, forgot how much fun that game is! (GP32 conversion anyone?) Anyways, I was wondering if anyone out theres got any more classic PC games i should route out to play on the move. so far ive loaded Red Alert 1, GTA and Duke Nukem. Suggestions?

P.S has anyone ever played a game called Nerf Arena Blast? Playing it now, its one of the best shoot 'em up ive ever played! Nerf Guns rule!

Ooh I hate Nerf Arena, anyway if you like starwars you might wanna try Dark Forces.Warcraft 1+2 may also go down well.

Nerf Arena Blast was pretty poor, waste of the unreal engine, although i suppose a good way for kids to play a FPS without being 'corrupted'

Get star control 2 that should run fine, after that id suggest checking out abandonware sites like theunderdogs and similar

If you havent tried them already, that kind of machine is suited to games like simon the sorceror and discworld 1+2 perfectly

Doom/Wolf3D/Quake

 

[thebluenewt]

Ultima 7 (with Exult to play in Win) and Sensible World of Soccer because it's the best game ever.

Fallout and Fallout 2 by Black Isle. Class games!

Infact they were both released together in the same budget class package!

Syndicate, also.

I suggest Star Control 2 (space adventure), Commander Keen (platform), Bio Menace (platform), Hocus Pocus (platform), Eric the Unready (a really funny text adventure with pictures), and of course Lucasarts adventure games.

Liero.

EDIT: Star Control 2 is seconded but what you really want is 'The Ur-Quan Masters', a fan-based port of the released 3DO source of SC2: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

You might wanna try Baldurs gate or icewind dale, both will cope well on those specs.
