Help me think of Older Games

[Schadenfreude]

If you're into turn-based strategy games, I'd say give Jagged Alliance 2 a try.

Would Half-Life 2 work on that laptop of yours? I'm not sure, you might want to give that a whirl too.

Oh, you can probably look here and most of the games listed there should work fine. I'd definitely recommend checking otu Planescape: Torment if you're into RPGs.

Good luck!

Railroad Tycoon 3...

If you like HOMM you could try the Age of Wonders games, similar in that they are turn based and 2-d. You can pick up all the xcom games from steam for cheap, they fall into the same catagory too.

Podracer was a lot of fun with a controller. I would try that or some other old racing games.

Wasteland or the original Pirates

Nethack!

Yes! Especially Vultures Eye (enhanced graphics version of Nethack). I play this on my laptop all the time.

It might be a good time to give Fallout 1/2 a try.
