hi, my brother gave me a toshiba laptop pentium 150 48mb ram win95. what games can i/should i play on it? i was playing civ2. i like that game. i dont have a mouse or keyboard for it, so it should be games playable/enjoyable on a small keyboard and those push fuzz mice in the middle of the keyboard.

suggestions?

i was thinking myst, because i had never played those.

thanks.

Fallout 1 would be killer for a P150 laptop. The load times on my P2 400 and the blazing fast (at the time) 5400 RPM drive were unbearably long. I can't imagine loading the game on a P150, even if it had a 5400RPM drive.
 
I played Fallout 1 on my 1995 power rig, a Micron P133 / 32 MB RAM / 1.6 GB WD drive and performance was fine. I'd have to crack it open to check but I suspect the WD is 4200 RPM at best.

I seem to recall there being load-time problems for some people doing the "huge" (all content) install instead of the "medium" install, but I think there was a patch to fix that.

Hmmm.... I'm pretty sure I used the Huge install because we had a massive 10GB 5400 RPM drive. 🙂 Maybe that was it.
 
I second Console Classix 🙂

Also, virtually any NES or GB game should play fine with a good emulator. I've seen some serial-port gamepads just for laptops (CHEAP on eBay).
 
I bought a CD once with like 50 atari games on it... I figure your lappy should be able to handle atari graphics 😛
