Looking for a simple low demand, no internet needed game

Uplink Hacker Elite is a fun one.

Super Crate Box. Get that shit right now. Free. It seems really simple, but it gets very addicting.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

OpenTTD

and this! sooooo much fun.

xcom or privateer would be good choices

I got all of those in a package and just cant get into them. The graphics look terrible on a 1080p screen, but worse the controls are so clunky and even in windowed mode I have to turn off my second monitor to get the games to run properly. Are there any good mods that are easy to use?

Yes. If you go into the user forums at gog.com, for each of those games there is usually a sticky telling you how to mod those games for modern hardware (and where to find the mods).

There's work involved in getting it set up, but I did this for BG1 and it looked and ran beautiful on my hardware (although the text was a bit small....a common complaint and there is a mod for that too I believe).

Outstanding platformer that ranges from puzzle to twitchy action. Free and tiny.

minecraft
faster than light (~150mb)
terraria
plants vs zombies

those are newerish games. there are probably tons of older classics that fit the bill too

Another vote for FTL, great time waster.

You can try Spaz. It's a 2d space combat game.

 

[Clinkster]

Another vote for FTL. It's not free, but it's dirt cheap and addicting.

Get heroes of might and magic 3 from gog.com and install the widescreen mod. Game is 1 gig, however.
