I don't know if this helps but...I can run counter strike source, team fortress 2 and world of warcrack on my laptop running a 1.6ghz celeron, 1.4gb ram, and ati 200m graphics. pretty good for a $350 laptop

Flatout and Sim City 4 runs perfectly on my computer, and I have a Celeron 2.4Ghz, 1 Gig of ram, and a fx 5200 (pci).

List updated. Thanks for all the fantastic contributions everyone, keep them coming!

The list is fantastic, we are preparing a new poll right now that will link to this thread as a side story.

what about the orginal ghost recon for pure tactical goodness

Hmm yes, I reckon it will do. Thanks for the suggestion SOAD. And thanks to Mr. Julio for the good news. Glad to hear this thread will be able to help a lot more people than before.

Thats like every great game lol

Fantastic

Heroes of might and Magic 1-3
Master of Magic
Dune 2
Warlords 1-3
Avernum 4 (haven't played previous versions)
Geneforge 1-4

I see Fallout 1-2, but "Fallout:Tactics" is not on the list...

Thanks for the suggestions, I've updated the list accordingly.
Any more?

I know the original Dawn of War runs great on my rig, and the expansions should run just as good.

I really like Ground Control 2, but I don't know about anyone else. It runs perfect also.

Also, Doom 3 really should work on slow rigs, because it does on mine, but it is on low, of course. Doom 3 requires low settings, and for premium performance a little tweaking.

Thanks mopar man for the nice suggestions. List updated.

Dungeon siege 1-2

Cheers

How about The Bitmap Brother's Speedball 2? I used to play that until I fell off the chair....

Roll on the release of Speedball 2 Tournament!!

Allegiance.

Trackmania Nations?

The original MYST and Test Drive 6.

Also, Oblivion ran ok with OLDBLIVION on my computer. It has an average of 15fps. When there are more than 3 people it hits 5 and stays their. Outside it stays 20.

I used to play Frontier: Elite 2 for ages and this looks very much in that genre. I'll have to give it a go sometime. I'll second this request.

Another hundred games
