Doom II !!! I will curse you and your house and your two future boyfriends if you don't play Doom II on it!

Get the OpenGL version (Zdoom) and download hundreds of add-on levels.

STARCRAFT


I hadn't even thought of that. I OWN that game.

Perhaps I should get Brood WARS *or whatever the add on was called.

Fallout 1 & 2

Can get both in a JC pack from Wal-Mart for like $9.
AWESOME games! Will play excellently on low-end hardware.

But will it run in WIn2K?
 
I have an old 300 mHz lappy around here. Have played Quake 3 on it OK, Just set details and resolution down a bit.

Thought of a couple others

Forsaken
Drakan.

That might be a little iffy -- ran ~25fps in 640x480 on my K6/2 475 notebook with 64mb RAM & integrated 8mb 3d video..(bleh)

Try Total Annihilation!
 
Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, Ultimate Doom ...

And Starcraft/Broodwar. But for god's sake, if you're going to play those, get a real mouse first. 😛
