Title says it all, what are games that are old but can play it on a laptop. You must think in the way that tf2 got 2 fps. Got an ati x200 mobile card, so nothing good :roll: .

Things like gta 2 and worms 2.

Games like Sims 1 can be played on a laptop , and the Sims 2 spin off games like Castaway Stories and the other Sims 2 ' stories ' games are actually built for laptop play . Some of the older championship manager games can be played on laptop too . You're probably better off looking at 2nd hand games rather than new games because you'll have far more chance of being able to play them and you won't have to pay a lot for them into the bargain :)

:X I remember using a SNES emulater back in like 2001, I cant imagine GBA emulators being more advanced than that.
