What's a good game that my TravelMate could run?

Thanks in advance!
 
Call of Duty 4 has pretty good multiplayer- might want to check that out.

If you're not into run-and-gun, though, it might not be a good choice. You might want to look into Supreme Commander, but due to its complexity and hefty system requirements, its really a love/hate game (either you love it or hate it).

Also, if you don't mind older games, I'd look into Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Its probably the best turn-based game I've ever played, has virtually limitless replay value, and you can probably find it for $5 in a bargin bin somewhere.

I hear the Star Wars: Empire at War Forces of Corruption expansion is very good, but I never had a chance to play it. Might be worth a look.
 
Since you have older games listed alongside newer ones, try the first two Fallout games. How can you go wrong with turn-based action, a 50's post-apocalyptic setting, and less linearity than any other game of its type?

RPGs:

Planescape: Torment (my favourite game of all time)
Baldurs Gate Franchise
Oblivion/Morrowind

And yeah, Civ 4 since you seem to like those types of games. If you liked Diablo, you'll probably like Titan Quest as well.

Fallout FTW!

and maybe check out Company of Hero's as it seems you also like RTS games
 
Strategy:
X-COM 1 (using DosBox)
X-COM 3 EDIT: NOT X-Com 2: Terror from the Deep (that was the lemon of the group)
Master of Orion 1
Master of Orion 2
Total War series (other that Rome, which you have tried. many liked Medieval better)

RPG:
Fallout 2 (already mentioned above, but it is worth writting again)
Arcanum

probably have to go to Egay for each of them, unless you have a used marketplace in your town
