Guest iep Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 depends on what kind of games you like i guess. but if you're considering deus ex. then you might also want to consider system shock II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Speaking of SNES emulators, I've heard it's possible to play 2-player games with other people on the internet. Would anyone like to play Mario Kart with me? I haven't played it with a human player for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goffer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 There are all the indi games too that even run on my netbook: Plants vs Zombies Braid Machinarium Defense Grid or for classics: Half Life series - as mentioned by others... you'll probably be able to get away with source games (Counter Strike Source, Day of Defeat Source, Half Life 2, Half Life Episodes) on lower settings. Kingping: Life of Crime - this game is amazing! Soldier of Fortune - preferably the first, they slowly descend into shit after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 braid actually needs a surprisingly hefty machine to run but yeah, PvZ, machinarium also peggle/peggle nights... most PopCap stuff really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thejacketloose Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 There's a puzzle game coming out on the Amiga called "Perspex" in which you play a misdiagnosed patient struggling to get out of the horrible way you get locked in a battle with a overindulgent doctor called Grez. This is the kind of bloke that you don't want to get into a tussle with. He's big, he's mean, and he doesn't give a flying fuck if you've got kids and family and that. He's a right cunt basically. Anyway, you have to go in the bogs with him, seedy bogs like, and he just unzips, but you have to fumble around after three pints and undo your belt and that cos you're wearing a strange pair of bollock stranglers that your mate got you for Christmas but you've run out of ordinary boxers. You know him pretty well because you went out with an acquaintance that he can remember so it's not immediately awkward, but then, all of a sudden, you realise that when he's trying to talk about football, he's really taking sneaky glances at your cunt. "Fucking Welsh beat the Scots eh?!" "It's only a friendly like innit though? Dun't matter in the grand scheme" "Haha yeah" he laughs for no reason, but I can smell the tattoos on his evil breath. He eyeballs my cunt surreptitiously once more. As you begin the overly-long process of putting Mr Carmichael away he grunts, gozzes, and zips up. "Laters Al", I know this means that he's going to be looking at me over the fog that hugs the pitch on a Saturday afternoon in winter in Northern England. "In a bit Grez." He never even washed his hands the dirty bitch. We win eight nil. I'll never see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Half Life 2 is surprisingly easy on system resources - My laptop is about 5 years old now but happily ran Episode 2 (albeit at 800x600). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 the first quake scary as hell Yeah it still holds up quite well doesn't it - the last few months I worked through Ultimate Doom,Doom2 and Quake and was quite surprised about how good the atmosphere is despite their age. I quite like the whole dark neo-gothic (possibly, I don't really know the names of styles) feel of Quake's levels, they don't really seem to make FPSs in that style nowadays.
