old computer, limited internet access, what old games to play offline ? - Games

so I just came into a very old computer it has a 550 MHz CPU and 250MB SD ram, now i don't always have internet access to the internet on this thing. So I would like to know of some old free downloadable games that will keep me entertained for hours on end until I get the parts for my new rig in. I am running on windows XP

TES: II Daggerfall Just make sure you dont halt when the guards say so

Cave Story and Spelunky.

oh and can i run mine craft on this thing? I doubt I can but I would like to know.

Crysis 2. But seriously, Minecraft should run alright. And Half-Life and CS: Condition Zero.

[QUOTE=Luafox;31830036]GTA 1 and GTA 2[/QUOTE] I think you can get them for free now too off the R* website, well one of them at least

I'm going through the Doom series right now and I'm having a lot of fun.

Nethack

A bunch of roguelikes, Gang Garrison, Terraria (maybe?).

snip' not free

Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate, Syndicate Wars, Blood, Worms, Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Command and Conquer, Age of Empires and Sim City 2000 and 3000. [editline]19th August 2011[/editline] To my knowledge they are either freeware or abandonware.

Fallout and Fallout 2. Great RPG's.

Deus ex maybe

Dungeon Keeper One and Two

Someone should make a megathread for this. "Cheap/Free Old games that you can play offline V1: If your offline how are you reading this?"

5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, 5 Days a Sacrifice and a bunch of free roguelikes.

Triplane. Most fun I've had on a DOS multiplayer game.

The Incredible Machine. [img]http://www.myabandonware.com/media/captures/T/the-incredible-machine/the-incredible-machine-5.png[/img] So much nostalgia.

You might as well run on Win 98, you won't play anything that is remotely recent other than little indie games anyway.
