Getting a new laptop -- what games are good?
I've been out of the PC gaming loop for some time.
Is The Sims anygood? What else would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance! |
laptops aren't good for serious games like unreal tourn, etc.
games that i'd recommend for playing on a laptop is Starcraft :) plus, there's always windows Solitare. |
I have M.A.M.E. on my notebook, that keeps me occupied rather well. I also have a NES and a Genesis emulator running on it. Between those three systems and thousands of games I don't even bother with PC games anymore on my notebook. :)

Hmm...well let me know if these specs won't be good for games. All I really care about are games like The Sims and Deer Hunter....I'm certainly not a serious gamer.
AMD Duron 900 MHz 14.1" viewable 256 MB RAM 10.0 GB hd 8x DVD=ROM 128-bit AGP 2X graphisc with 3D hardware acceleration; composite TV-out support w/ external TV encoder 56 Kbps v.90 modem 10/100 ethernet Win XP As I said, I don't know a whole lot, but it is a wonderful system from what I've seen -- my boss has one, and its great. Thanks for any insight! |

Max Payne (have yet to finish it) Starcraft (multiplayer) Counter Strike ZSNES MAME Some of my friends are really addicted to the The Sims but I never really got into it, it just seemed boring to me. However if you like it then go for it, you will love it, its just not everyone's cup of tea. I'd recommend getting a demo first maybe to see how it runs on your comp and if it works then buy the full. I'm sure you'll be able to get those to run ok on your comp. A lot of these games aren't that expensive anymore like Starcraft so you should be able to get them cheap at compuexpert or amazon.com. |
Games will suck battery power like nobody's business.

The Sims
Starcraft Diablo I and II |
What about Black and White? I heard a lot of things about it, but have never seen it.
I also wanted to pick up one of those Deer Hunter-like games. My friend used to have one ... don't know if it was Deer Hunter or Big Game Hunter ... but I loved it. I looked for it last night, but couldn't find it :( |

And even if you do get it to power up, it'll be very slow as your frame rate will be unbearable. Now these are the intensive 3D games. I'd rather stick with the desktop pc. Laptops are generally slower than pcs since they have less power to burn. |
I run nhl 2001 and madden 2001 on my laptop at 800 x 600, works fine. I also run Mame, Virtua Fighter 2, Jedi Knight, X-Wing Alliance, Emperor the Battle for Dune...
My laptop is 750 mhz with 128 megs of Ram and it runs games pretty damn good. |
Age of Empires II works great on mine, provided I have a mouse attached. I downloaded a hacked executable so I don't have to carry around the cd with me.
