FEAR

The Free Bundle

Dungeons of Dreadmor

Star Wars: Empire at War Gold a bit pricey at the moment, but still one of the best RTS games out there.
Of course, if you can find a copy of Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, that game is even better. Imagine AoE, but Star Wars.

I've been playing Tropico lately, and it will run on anything. Pretty fun, IMO.

Plants vs Zombies ^^

BoI

The Binding of Isaac, Cave Story+, Counter-Strike, Plants vs. Zombies, Osmos, Gemini Rue, Thief Gold.

Killing Floor...?

• Plants vs Zombies
• Terreria

Binding of isaac, you won't need anything more

Torchlight 2 runs smooth in old gigs. At least single player. MP should get some spikes.

cs 1.6? at the least the portable version which is free can put on usb

• To the Moon
• Gemini Rue
• FTL (not sure if it would run)
• Point and clicks

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl can be run by pretty low-end computers

I'm in the same situation.
I have to use an old laptop with "Mobile Intel 4 series Express" graphics.... :-(

Here is the list of games that I play at the moment :

• Civilization IV (no problem at all)
• Starcraft 2 (with every settings in very low, it's playable)
• FTL
• Prison Architect
• SimCity 4

Recently I tried to play some paradox game like Victoria II or Hearts of Iron 3, but it's so slow that I gave up.

There's another alternative. Sign up for OnLive (dot com) and pay ten bucks for the "Playpack" deal (over 200 games included in that, many of them newer ones). Since all the games are actually run on the remote system, they'll play just fine on any laptop, no matter how crappy. It's actually cool as hell. The only catch is, you'd have to have an available internet connection, preferably wired, for it to work. If so, you're golden.

Any of the Ys games. My computer has similar specs and runs those great. Someone even was able to run Ys: The Oath in Felghana on a netbook. Ys Origin has a demo that you can at least give a go to see if you enjoy the gameplay.

Also my computer is a dual core 2.3Ghz with integrated graphics as well. So feel free to take a peek at my library to see some games that will run with those specs (though I have the Witcher and it does not run, and you'd probably be unable to play Skyrim as well, I barely can run it on low).

Warcraft 3, Starcraft 1, DIablo 2.

• Civilization 4 or Alpha Centauri
• FTL
• SimCity 4
• Conquest of Elysium 3
• Brogue
• Fallout 2 or 1
• Arcanum
• Planescape: Torment
• Probably Hotline Miami?
• La-Mulana
• Monkey Island 1, 2, and 3.
• Full Throttle
• Grim Fandango
• Day of the Tentacle
• Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
• The Blackwell series
• Gemini Rue
• Doom RL
• Spelunky
• Resonance
• Dustforce
• Cave Story+
• Terraria
• Beneath a Steel Sky
• To the Moon
• Crusader Kings 2 (Surprise!)
• Don't Starve
• Flotilla (quite nice until you get tired of it)
• Jamestown
• Lone Survivor
• Machinarium
• Nightsky
• Knytt Stories
• Revenge of the Titans
• Super Hexagon
• MAYBE Mark of the Ninja would work
• Frozen Synapse
• They Bleed Pixels
• Torchlight
• AI War: Fleet Command
• Aquaria
• Edge (I think)
• Super Crate Box

If you're interested in anything that runs on the SCUMMvm engine, it should work.

Poorly-optimized but might work very nicely:

• Super Meat Boy
• Binding of Isaac

I imagine Age of Empires 2 would. If not hd the original should work.

if you like pokemon then fix this,

Its free to download and its just like regular pokemon, but this one is MMO so you can fight other people or trade with em pokemons! i just started to play yesterday ;)

pokeMMO

Point and click games. :)
