That’s me and this robot-like C64 game. You did levels and took over robots so you could take over stronger robots.

I do remember Seven Cities of Gold, but only because the game crashed so often I saw the loading screen more than the game itself

SavinDWhales,

I played that. Paradroid, right?

I just remembered Jet Slalom because of this.

Night Shift. A DOS game where you keep a factory cranking out toys and it gradually ramps up the difficulty by de-automating the machines that manage colour, materials, etc.

anugeshtu,

Sounds like ChatGPT. The more I’m busy in one session, the messier it gets.

While I’m not sure how much of a difference the CPU and RAM will cause, my current laptop has the same GPU, so I should have a general idea of what games will work on your laptop.

Since you mentioned RuneScape, I do actually have RuneLite (a third party client for OSRS) on this computer and it does run fine. I haven’t tested it yet but I’m pretty RuneScape (RS3) should also work well. The last time I ran RuneScape on Linux was when I had a computer with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and I was able to get an almost playable frame rate at my usual graphical settings, so I’m curious about how well it’ll run on my current computer, but I currently don’t have any interest in playing RuneScape at the moment.

As for other games, if you’re interested in games similar to quake, I’m not really a fan of these types of games but I know that World of Padman worked pretty well when playing offline, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work well on your computer. It might seem like a weird choice at first but the levels are quite large and detailed, and the music is also pretty good as well. It started as a mod for Quake 3 before it became it’s own standalone game. This can either be downloaded from their website or from Flathub.

Another game I know of is called Urban Terror. Similar to World of Padman, it also derived from Quake 3 but it looks and plays more like Counter Strike (or at least what I think CS plays like). I personally didn’t care for this one as much but some people might like it more than WoP. This can be downloaded from either their website or from Flathub.

Mine was probably on a demo disc around 2000s. It was like a battle on some destroyed city, had futuristic tanks, aircrafts and anti-air. The tanks had WW1-style tracks, like they were huge and squeaky and the size of the whole side. The anti-air had Σ-symbols (faction maybe) and shot blue lasers. The closest I have come to is G-Police, but that’s not it. It was on Win98 most likely.

I have two games.

The first one I found out was called Nanosaur and even has a free download. I played like 20 minutes of this in grade school one day and never got a chance to play it again during my childhood.

The other is insanely obscure, because I’m pretty sure I know the name of it but cannot find any trace of it. It’s a fantasy themed RPG maker XP game I’m fairly certain is called “The Under” Where it starts as a training mission but your team discovers strange things going on and reality re-writing itself. It uses a real-time turn based combat (similar to final fantasy) and…

spoilerEveryone in the party except the kobold dies at the very end.

I’m also fairly certain the person making it started working on a sequel that had a small demo I played. A quick google search brought up another RPG maker game called The Under, but this isn’t the game I’m talking about.

I still dont know the name of a c64 game i played a lot as a kid. You had to move some kind of flying submarine through a maze and if you touch the wall you die. The first few screens you had to fly downwards.

ZeroGravitas,

Is it Snare by any chance?

polle,

Sadly not :(

polle,

After a long search i remembered that it also could be some game of a magazine disk, then i though it also could be also some obscure german one and looked through an big list of german c64 games and there i found it. Its called Mission Transmiter! It seems to be a really obscure one, no wonder nobody knows that one.

This sounds familiar, but I can’t find anything about it online! The controls were mostly just up and down, right?

polle,

It started going downwards, but then also going left and right. It was some kind of maze. When iam back at my parents iam going to look for the disk boxes.

Glad you found it! Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t look like the game I remember playing. That one was more of a submarine shape with sideways movement. Maybe with monochrome graphics?

I’m going to have to ask my parents what they remember from those days. All my searches are coming up empty.

The gaming benchmarks show you’ll probably be able to play most of the older f2p games at 720p low settings and be =>30fps.

The legend of Kyrandia or something

Not smooth but Guild Wars 2 can run on those specs, obviously on very low settings.
Path of Exile should work also. These specs af not that bad. Most 10+ year old games should run easily. I would just check steam for older F2P games, there are a lot more. I think swtor and eso should run also. Those had F2P tiers.

Same with my laptop!

My laptop is 3:2 and it looks exactly the same as yours there. Not super readable is it :(

Try incremental games like Cookie Clicker.
