Games on Bad Computers

[friznit]

As opposed to bad computer games. I'll be at my folks place throughout the long weekend, and in between bouts of doing outside stuff will no doubt waste away a few hours of the evening on a bit of gaming. Unfortunately IT hardware is pretty terrible, so I'm restricted to stuff that doesn't really need a graphics card or hamsters to fan the CPU. Luckily there are plenty of options, but I've played a lot of these to death already and am in need of some more ideas!

Already played to death:

Traincrack
Minecrack
Dorfcrack
Simcity 4 Rushcrack

Not yet earned Class A drug status:

Towns
XCOM beta thingy?
...

Ideas, give them to me!

But maybe you already played them all before.

If you don't mind going retro emulators are often over looked, SNES probably fitting the bill for your hardware, providing you like either platformers or jRPGS.

The lovely PCGamingWiki is attempting to collect a bunch of stuff that works on low-end computers. There's not a lot in it, but it does link to a few previous lists.

I'd second the GoG thing, assuming they have an internet connection...
