>>7096161
Clickteam and old Gamemaker games since you're on an old OS. If you hadn't gone down the rabbit hole back then you're missing out on hundreds of fun free games

>>7096161
I used to run FO3 on a shitty laptop on 480p and some shitty mods man the good ol days. I know you are not asking for that but many games can be tweaked to run on potatos for me was super fun back then so you could try that.

>>7096902
I also have an old 2007 vista laptop and they don't run fine. SNES isn't playable unless you run at 1 frame skipped and you can't have vsync. PSX games have wonky graphics sometimes, but maybe you've got better specs than I do. Integrated graphics and 1.80 gz cpu is always stuttering my games.

>>7096161
I can't make out what exact model you're running, but it looks like an x220 or x230 of some description, and I was able to play the Linux port of Borderlands 2 on my x230t at around 20fps native resolution a few years ago. It took some heavy graphical tweaks to do it, and the Windows version would probably run better, but I was still able to play it. Apparently a friend of mine has even managed to play the Enhanced version of BL1 on his machine, which has the same CPU and GPU (i5 3320m with Intel HD 4000 graphics). I also used to play the living crap out of Battle For Wesnoth on that machine, which is like a hybrid of Fire Emblem and the old turn-based Warlords games.

Pic related (Touhou) probably works too, but I still need to try it.

>>7097530
What emulator are you using? I used to run most games in ZSNES 1.36 perfectly on my 700MHz Pentium III, and could even run most titles on the various Pentium I and II machines I tried it on. I also had some old version of SNES9X I used later on, I think a release from 2005, that I was able to use to play StarFox 2 on my friend's 800MHz Pentium III laptop as well as my 2.4GHz Pentium 4. These emulators certainly aren't as accurate as Higan or BSNES, but they're more than good enough for playing the majority of the SNES library on ancient hardware.

Of course, given that you're running Vista on there, I would highly, highly recommend downgrading to XP SP3 or at the very least dual-booting. Vista was often shipped on systems that were way too underpowered for it at its time, which is partly what lead to its reputation. I wouldn't run it on anything less than a system with a strong dual core and 4GB of RAM, as well as an actual GPU and not the crippled Intel integrated graphics that existed at the time.

>>7096161
Starflight and the Star Control series (especially SCII:The Ur-Quan Masters).
Text adventures by Infocom.
Tetris.
Necrosphere.

>>7096330
Maybe I'm a masochist, but I find trackpoints work surprisingly well for FPS games. Granted, the last time I tried playing UT99 with one, I didn't do so hot, but I've played tons of Doom I/II, Quake II, Duke3D, Borderlands, and even TF2 among others using one. With the exception of Borderlands, which I'd say is pushing it, all ran well on my x230t.

Flash games?

Capital idea. Archive.org has tons of them OP.

https://archive.org/download/swf-flash-games/swf-flash-games_archive.torrent

https://archive.org/details/MSFanSWF

>>7100503
or https://archive.org/details/swf-flash-games rather so I don't get "ain't clickin' dat shit n i g g e r' meme'd.

Point is they have lots so you don't have to go through tons of garbage on swfchan or similar. Then again the archives might be garbage too.

>>7096161
Could load a complete DOS front end. There are more than several floating around with large game packages.

>>7097618
Yeah, I've only got 1 core with 1.80ghz cpu and 2 gigs of ram. I've got another with a dual core cpu and windows 7, but I have no idea how to figure out how powerful the cpu is, it also has 2 gigs of ram. Neither of them will run SNES9x without skipping 1 frame.

And since I got these laptops as hand me downs, I have to figure out if they run like shit just because or if there's more background processes I can kill to speed them up.

>>7096161
Why the fuck are you using the clitmouse? Anyway here's the essential low spec laptop gaming list.

Zombie Shooter and Alien Shooter series, Crimsonland (the original release, not the remake, also unplayable with the clitmouse), Nwahwind, Outcast, Delta Force series, Driver: You Are The Wheelman, Jedi Knight 1 and 2 (needs a real mouse), Test Drive 4-6, Viper Racing, Carmageddon, Soldiers of Fortune, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Baldurs Gate 2, Fallout 2, the list goes on.

>Nethack

>SMAC
Uncertain. Some Thinkpads are real old.

Suggestions:
Even the weakest Thinkpad should be able to emu SNES with ZNES or something. Older versions of Gens for Genesis games should be fine too. Trying to emu 32bit consoles will probably fuck it up.
>>7100695
Frameskipping works as intended. Go play with your Higan on a GAMING PC, you autist.

>>7103245
>Laptop from 2007 can't run games from 1990 without skipping 1 frame
>working as intended

Yeah, no. I can play Genesis games no problem and my pc from 2004 had no need to skip frames on SNES9x in order to work and could have vsync, too.

>>7103841
I'm not doubting the strength of Genesis emus, but to play SNES games on emu perfectly just like in real hardware, you will need a gaming PC strength CPU with byuu's furry-endorsed emu, NOT Snes9x which is known to be buggy and built with hacks to make most known games run well enough.

Bump because this thread is great.

>>7096161
You can emulate up to gen 5 on potatoes nowadays. My 6 year old laptop can emulate GameCube with kinda shitty fps.

>>7096161
Since you like DOOM and roguelikes, i am going to recommend DoomRL. It's very good, and even has a 3d modern sequel. I still prefer the original.

My windows 98 computer with a pent 3 could emulate ff7 near perfectly back in the early thousands when I owned one.

>>7106501
>back in the early thousands when I owned one.
stop larping dracula nobody had windows 98 before the battle of hastings

>>7106548
The darkest black was red and the spinning of the battles didn't work and it would lag as the battle first started. The city of the ancients glitch caused me to switch between epsxe and psxeven to get past such a glitch.

I remember the Lunar Legends port to the snes working so bad in a town for an snes emulator I had on it that every 5 through 8 seconds it would stop and get a broken record glitch where it'd go and repeat the last 1/5 second for six times or so. Every single 5-8 seconds.

I don't recall if I even attempted to play the n64 on it but beating the two Zelda games on it was a goal of mine, and I do remember playing visualboyadvance on it and The Minish Cap played to completion, of which is funny because winxp and android emulators often reset to the start screen in Vaati's castle.

I remember giving it a driver so it could communicate with my hacked phat psp back then so I could hack it and also bring back and forth data from a library using the psp as a mobile emulator, video streamer/downloader, and pda really in general for music and for it's file managing capabilities combined with free Internet to be stolen using various public wifi's. Both I received used, the phat and the win9x. The win9x was a hand me down from a library's youth room. The phat psp I had to buy twice as the first was damaged. Before that the library sold 50 cent cd-roms and I would bring data back with that from the library strictly, of which is how I downloaded ff7 to begin with I recall, the net was so sloooow that I had to download ff7 in pieces using dohgames then combined the files later using some 7-zip feature that I had installed on the win98 computer.

Rogue Squadron for N64.
But seriously Atari 2600, 5200, and 7800, NES, Genesis, PC Engine-that's pretty much all you can do with Mega Drive/Genesis being your ceiling.

One of my favourite things to do any time I find an old PC is try to run DMC4 on it, that game is crazy well optimized, I can play it on my X220 just fine.

The standard edition only though, the special edition isn't optimized as well since it's a backport of the console versions or something.

>>7108528
It doesn't come with anything. You just download what you wanna play. There's curated lists as well since most flash was just porn and animations anyway.

Does anybody remember that top 100 low spec games youtube video series from mid 2000s? It was great but it's impossible for me to find now that google has 1984'd their data.

this is a dumb thread. I have a Dual-Core Celeron chromebook from six years ago that is no slouch with playing all sorts of modern indie games.

There are more games that you can play on a "low end" laptop than you can't play

>>7109442
I swear this shit has been memory holed. You can't search youtube of google images by date and google search results throws videos from just a few years ago and dates them as early as 2007.
Scary as fuck.

>>7109442
>>7109474
It isn't scary, it's annoying. I can't find many videos anymore, but that doesn't mean that they're not online in some cases because gewgle wants you to hang around for as long as possible and giving max clicks. There's no incentive for them to give you what you want immediately.

>>7109538
It's not that. They only want to promote recent and popular content.
And yes, it is scary that the largest archives of our knowledge are curated in such a terrible way.
If I date search between 2005 and 2010, i'll only get a handful of results even relating to the terms I searched. How the fuck isn't that a scary implication? You might be annoyed now but in 50 years when you're looking for important shit for a court case you're going to want to blow your brains out because 2020 will just be a release date for a bunch of marvel movies and won't have actually happened.

>>7109567
>How the fuck isn't that a scary implication?
You're talking to someone who didn't have Internet for half of his life, it's not scary at all. Finding information has never been easier, but yes, gewgs makes it tougher to keep you with them longer.
Back when I was a kid or even a teenager there were public libraries, magazines, TV pretty much for video game stuff and I lived.

>>7109582
You're dumb as bricks. Public libraries don't burn newspapers periodically to get you to read new ones. Do you even know what memory hole is?
You're also talking to someone who also lived pre-internet you daft cunt. Reddit is down the hallway.

>>7109609
Easy, zoomy. You'll strain something especially after you ingested so many Tide pods! :(
And yeah I know the fucking memory hole, which is why I try to stay ahead of it. Step up your game and download more stuff, anon. Everything cool: download it. Now. Please.

I still play a lot of RecWar and Spheres of Chaos
Also, Hedgewars is an open source version of Worms
There were the Retrospec remakes of Head over Heels and the isometric Batman game.
You can play most 90's FPS on keyboard relatively well, Duke, Quake, Blood, Shadow Warrior, even Half Life and Unreal, if you find the correct layout for you.

honorary retro game. the engine (voxlap) was made by the dev of the Blood/DN3D engine (Build).

It's compact, has many buttons, looks cool, came with a protective case big enough for a phone plus cord and sd cards to fit inside, and works with both wired old computers and bluetooth.

It's d-pad isn't flawed, that's what matters to /vr/. Real /vr/ anyway. Though yes, the analog are gay, and it has no handles that were designed with analog in mind. I prefer stuff like Megaman Legends with the d-pad. I even like n64 games with the d-pad except when crossing bridges and such.

There is nothing wrong with that controller. It fits inside small spaces and that's a camping kit. A logitech wouldn't fit inside so easily and the bag is already so overpacked I've had to resort to using a second bag.
