The original doom would play great on them.

But if you really want some fun, play warcraft in multiplayer.

My vote is for Diablo 1 and of course the original Tomb Raider. I think MW2 should work but its buggy enough that I would be afraid to install it on a lab computer.
Does anybody remember the original Scorched Earth with the little tanks and the weapons of mass destruction? Not that was a game to play with friends!!!

scorched earth was pretty cool, i had a copy of it until i lost it a few years ago, timing code was written poorly so it ran way too fast on just about anything above a 486 as i recall though

Try the soldout range. Things that work in DOS are mainly what you want. Jimmy White's snooker is addictive. I liked Gods and Magic Pockets on the ST and they are in soldout. And that game with a team of tiny soldiers, what's it called? Shows how old I am!

Out of Solitare and Freecell, I prefer Freecell

Also, Duke Nukem 3D is an amazing game, it would be good if you could play that

thx for the help, just a few things:

starcraft requires a p 90, so on a 75 it will be REALLY slow, and i want a DECENT running game on it.
ditto for diablo.

ill give duke 3d a try :)

The original Master of Orion, the original X-wing and original Tie Fighter, and maybe the original NFS/NFS Se. Heck, you can play Myst too, if you had at least a dual speed cd-rom drive.

For X-wing and Tie Fighter, be sure you have at least 610k of conventional memory.
