Old and fun games that work on shitty hardware (Netbooks etc)

[Mr. Massacre]

Half-Life 1 and Sven Co-Op. If it'd run well on a Pentium III, it'll run well on a Atom of any sort.

[LimeDeer]

WoW worked on mine if you're into that sort of thing.

[furbrain]

Sim City 4

To put it into low detail mode (So it will actually run on a netbook smoothly), I suggest using the launch option "-lowdetail".

Postal 2 (Maybe? Someone confirm)[/QUOTE]

Kind of runs on my piece of shit laptop. It likes to run at half speed, though.

Unreal Gold
Unreal II

Probably some of the earlier Command and Conquer games as well

[MTMod]

Halo: Combat Evolved (lol)

DOOM 3

This is a pretty good thread.

No :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Nexus435;27227743]RtCW is a really awesome game.[/QUOTE]

Indeed it is my favourite game of all time

[Nefarious]

I'd say Fallout 1 and 2 and DOS games. Red Baron was a masterpiece for its age...

Lego Racers all the way, I dropped so many hours into that and the second one. Good times

Hmm, wonder if the second one will work......
