Modern games that run on a potato machine (small gib added, Level 1+ basic SG) ENDED

Torchlight. Even maybe torchlight Ii

I saw another poster suggest this, but you can try Portal. Portal 2 might be a stretch, but if your system can manage it you're in for one of the best games that has ever been created. It's worth a shot. Maybe wait for a sale.

Not really "modern", but here's my favorite games that you should try on your "old" computer:

• Unreal Tournament III
• Postal 2
• TES Skyrim
• GTA Trilogy
• KoA Reckoning
• Hero Siege
• Dead Island + Riptide
• Half Life 1+2
• CS:Source
• Bully SE
• Dragon Age 1+2
• THPS HD
• F.E.A.R
• How To Survive
  -etc.

Probably you already try all those games anyway ;)

Qbeh 1 is a fun luttle puzzle/platformer. Runs fine on my potato and I have a higher resplution, so your potato should run it on low settings. Another one I would suggest is Just Cause 2 (although not post-2012) should run easily on low settings. Others are Stardew Valley, Train Simulator, NoLimits 2, Super Splatters

From my times as a potato user
Assassins Creed
All Bioshocks
All CoDs up until BO2
Crysis 1 and 2
The FEAR series
Fallout 3 and NV (unmodded)
Farcry 1 and 2
Half Life Series
Just Cause 1 and 2
Life Is Strange
Rage

Never heard the term Batata here, maybe I should talk to more people :(
Anyway, a lot of indie games should do the trick.

Don't Starve
Guacamelee
Hotline Miami
Super Meat Boy
LISA
VVVVVV
Thomas Was Alone
Terraria
Bit.Trip games
Adventures of Pip

Those are the ones I can think of right now.

Crawl, a game you'll never regret.

In Hebrew, like in Spanish, Sweet Potato is called Batata. We also call lazy people Batata instead of Couch Potato.

Age of Empires II
Shantae
LEGO games
12 labours of Hercules series
Ducktales Remastered
FEZ
LIMBO
Stardew Valley
Mercenary Kings
PACMAN Championship
Papers, Please
Saints Row 2
Scribblenauts
Worms games

I used to have very bad pc too until about month ago. It was little weaker than yours and I played there:
Battleblock Theater
Brawlhalla
Castle Crashers
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Don't Starve
Guacamelee
Half Minute Hero (1,2)
La-mulana
Shank (1,2)
Speedrunners
Super Meat Boy
Terraria
Worms (first one, armageddon,golf,reloaded)

Any 2D game.
Any game mixing 2D backgrounds with 3D models, like the Shadowrun trilogy.
If you had a normal amount of memory, you could pretty much run anything but an FPS or latest RTS on it in windowed mode as well. The N2840 is very far from being a "potato" CPU, it has issues with 3D games because of the intentionally subpar graphics chip.

Toshiba Satellite CL15-B1204X 11.6-Inch Laptop

Key bots notice that model and try to type it as a key, lol!

There are a couple of games you can try! I'd go for Diablo 1, it's a nice classic!

Also, you can play Avernum/Avadon/Geneforge! Excellent games that require low resources! :)

I was able to play Serious Sam (both encounters) on similar one - Dell, 10'. I know, the game isnt very new, so just as an idea and FYI)

Estaba por poner algunos, pero te han dado una lista de casi 100 juegos ya. Jajajaja. Ya que estamos he jugado en un equipo similar al tuyo:
Torchligth
Titan Quest+exp
Sheltered
FTL
Fez

Man, you can't even play LEGO. And they are the best! :(

Make sure to double check the requirements on any recommendations. Some of these very "old school-looking" games can be surprisingly demanding, either because they relegate some fancy effects that previously would have done in another way to the hardware, because they're just poorly optimized or because they use flash.

There are lots of good pixelshit games.

HexCells series.

Thomas Was Alone.

Home.

Organ Trail.

FTL.

Alien/Zombie Shooter series.

And don't forget classics from Sega and Namco and such--especially since the Sega ones have workshop support and now have ridiculous mods.

brother, my machine are super potatoe....

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations!

If you're already doing couch co-op, perhaps you should consider Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.
