Good games for old(ish) laptop.

Looking for people's ideas for good games on a Celeron 650 laptop with 4mb graphics and 192mg RAM. Any ideas?

Not too interested in FPS, more interested in strategy or rpg.

 
You think that laptop's old, I'll trade you my p133 laptop with 16mb RAM and 1mb vid RAM for it. Deal? Good, I'll be by to pick up the laptop. 🙂
 
Jagged Alliance 2 - a game every X-Com fan should play (and runs much better than X-Com on modern computers)
Fallout 1 & 2
Fallout Tactics (though not nearly as good of a turned-based squad game as JA2)
Heroes of Might & Magic (at least II, III -- mixed reviews of iV and might need more video ram?)

Planescape Torment would be another great choice except it needs either CD swapping or 4 GB of HD for a full install
 
Here's what I play on my mid-range laptop:

Civilization 3, SimCity 3000, Sid Meier's Sim Golf, The Sims (forget the add-ons, though, they'll slow down the game too much for a 4MB vid card), Total Annihilation (a classic!), Half-Life (in 640x480 mode), and Tropico.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander demo kinda works, but I wouldn't want to try the full version on it.
 
Star Wars Rebellion. Addictive, addictive, addictive. SimCity 3000 works fine too.

Also, if you wanna go REALLY old, Lords of the Realm II!!!

(all work great on my K6-2+ 450MHz 192MB 8MB VRAM)
