My laptop sees a lot of old favorites like M*U*L*E* and Agent USA run through a Commodore 64 or Atari 800 emulator.

I'm guessing you mean Sid Meier's Alpha centauri? Great call, if so.

Xcom UFO Defense, every other xcom is downhill if not poop after the first one.
Civilization II
Master of Orion II
Doom II
Warcraft II
C&C Red Alert 1 (every C&C game after this one was meh at best)

also, check out the early wing commander games

XCOM UFO Defence... ahh how crap names become.

UFO: Enemy Unknown, the Amiga title for it was much better.

Terror From The Deep was good too.

Xcom: Interceptor was awesome if a little too cartoony.

Anything C&C apart from TS and Generals

Also, Civ 2 > * apart from Civ1. Rather equal between the 2.

Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri was awesome too.

You can software render the orginal Unreal Tournament with a current processor at very good speeds. You could also software render UT2004 with a high end processor nowadays at decent speeds.

Thunderhawk.

Links 200x software renderer works pretty well and looks decent enough.
