Please recommend a game that can play on this rig. I'm planning to buy a graphics card but not now.

Intel core 2 Duo 2.9 GHZ
2 GB ram
Intel GMA 3100

Personally i would not bother trying to game on a GMA 3100. If you must, as long as you stay away from anything thats 3d you might be ok.

Best to stick to old games like the Unreal Anthology, Fallout Trilogy, Galactic Civilizations 2, or something from GOG.com

 

[PuppettMaster001]

What kind of games do you like to play? RPG/FPS/RTS?

 

[Piotrsama]

Plants vs. Zombies
Machinarium
World of Goo

 

[Rakewell]

Torchlight.

In the game's display settings, there's an option for 'Netbook', should the integrated video not be able to handle regular.

I know you're looking to play on the specs given, but a $50 video card assuming you have a free PCI Express slot( which you very well might given you have a C2D) will be lightyears ahead of that GMA3100. You're going to be very VERY limited by that video card to older games and even lower graphics settings.

Civilization II, not sure about later versions but Civ 2 is best pc game of all time.

Civilization II, not sure about later versions but Civ 2 is best pc game of all time.

Civ 3 also, it's 2D so he won't have troubles with it.

Master of orion 2, decent freespace(maybe), halflife 1/cs 1.6 (maybe?), diablo 2, baldurs gate/icewind dale/neverwinter nights, pong, civilization, heroes of might and magic, Hearts of Iron (definitely!), mechwarrior


Edit: and yeah, you can grab like an 8800gt for 50 bucks or so...which would let you play...just about everything...

Oh and Tyrian, such a sweet old top down shooter.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Might and Magic 3.

Majesty. Get it on Steam- it was originally released in 2000, and the old CD version has major issues with modern computers. It's a unique fantasy strategy RPG in that you cannot directly control your characters. You build buildings and set reward flags, but your heroes decide for themselves what to do based on the situation and their unique personalities. You can find the demo, but the real game is so much more fun.

I also like Space Empires III. Demo also available, I think. It's from like 1999 but I still play it every once in a while.

Settlers 2

I play Eve on a very similar system, although it crashes often when I do probing (Intel GMA seems to have issues with the waay the game renders the scan function on probes)

Nethack is another game I play often on my laptop.

Jets'n'Guns also runs well, and is really fun.
