My GPU recently broke and now I'm stuck with my internal Intel graphics chip. I want to use this opportunity to play some old classics and graphical not demanding games.
Any genre goes.
Every recommendation thread.

Will check out, thanks.
>>319516580
If this is your first time playing the gamekiddon't make the mistake of getting the "HD" version on Steam. It's shit.

I think these should work on intel without problem.
X-COM Apocalypse
>>319516771
fuck, forgot to remobe ThunderWolfes. Those probably too much for intel built in.
also this >>319516821 and all other X-Com games, remakes and such.
Also Z. Not steam port tho
>>319516771
Seconding Alpha Centauri and Caesar III and also adding on Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun
http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=41
download TibSun here, it's legally free
>>319517016
Fuck yeah, Tiberium Sun. Why the heck I forgot to put it. Also I guess Red Alert 2. And Open RA for older stuff.
PC has too many great games.
>>319516715
>>319516580
and then get the HD mod to play windowed
>>319516084
Just about anything from with mid-2000s or lower graphics.
>>319516771
>>319516821
>>319516969
Thanks. A lot of games on there I've always wanted to play, but never got around to do it.
Or my dad wouldn't buy them for me.
>>319516771
Seconding Recettear.
You'll probably only get ~12 hours of playing before you're sick of shopkeeping, but damn is it fun. Like, surprisingly fun.
You barely even dungeon crawl, you just sit in your store managing your capitalist empire, selling sailor uniforms to old men for 10,000 gold.
>>319517483
CAPITALISM, HO!
>>319516084
I've recently been having another go at Gal Civ 2 and I think it's actually grown on me over time. It also runs flawlessly on my Intel Atom tablet.
>>319516084
Dwarf Fortress
>>319516084
I never had any issues with Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines on my integrated. It ran pretty well at 60fps if I could turn a few things down here and there.
>>319517831
I wish it had GUI
Wizardry 8 and Arx Fatalis
>>319517942
Dwarf Therapist updated for the new version, so not all is lost
No DFhack yet though.
>>319517993
It's too little for my casuality.
I better wait for some "inspired" games to be finished.
Dota 2
Half Life 1 - specifically in software mode 640x480 and no form of filtering whatsoever.
Starcraft and Brood War
Diablo II
Command and Conquer 95 all the way through to Red Alert 2
Deus Ex
System Shock 2
That should be all the games you need to last you a lifetime. Any one game on this list is of higher quality than any game made in the last decade. Combined it has the total power of all of humankind's greatest minds.
>>319518714
Fuck I knew I forgot one.
Max Payne
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Deadlight
Bloodrayne
LISA
Telltale's The Walking Dead
Hotline Miami
Battleblock Theater
>>319518714
surprisingly HL2 runs at almost 60 all the time
MORROWIND
MORROWIND
MORROWIND
>>319520426
With what?
>ctrl+f
>no mountain blade
What the heck happened to /v/
>>319520968
can you even play that without a gpu? all them units?
>>319521120
Unit numbers are CPU intensive, mostly.
>>319520780
intel hd 4000 and i5 3570
>>319521120
Dude, M&B should be fine with an Intel chip, it has totally shit raphics.
>>319521175
That's almost PS3 level graphics. Just turn down them settings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua2gajdpsTo
>>319521120
set to directX 7 and you'll be fine
>>319520968
>>319521219
M&B totally fucks up my laptop as soon as large battles start. It's not unplayable, but slow enough that it ceases to be enjoyable.

Emulate n64, psx, gba, snes. There are lists of games on v's wiki. PC exclusives usually age like milk sadly.
>>319523140
>PC exclusives usually age like milk sadly.
It often depends on controls and camera. What a shame.
>>319523140
>emulate N64
nice joke anon
90% of 2D PC game aged beautifully.
So why won't you shut the fuck up?
>>319516771
look at all these shitty games
>>319516771
if you want a multiplayer shooter, surprisingly I can get 60 fps at 1080p on medium settings for pic related on intel hd 4600with no AA, it is painful
>>319524445
plays into my arms. i utterly hate AA
>>319518714
>Half Life 1 - specifically in software mode 640x480 and no form of filtering whatsoever.
Half-life was made to be filtered. consumer 3d accelerators were already a thing early in development.
Suggesting playing in 640x480 is just bizarre, i played 800x600 day one.
>>319516084
wow that is one ghetto setup and fucked up resolution to play at.
>>319524094
no way commandos looks that good.
holy fuck, that game is seriously GOAT
>>319525176
it doesn't, the original game would've been in more like 800x600 than 1680x1050.
>>319516084
>Any genre goes
DCSS
Ancient Domain of Mysteries
dNetHack (a NetHack variant)
>>319525326
>dNetHack (a NetHack variant)
nigger nethack 3.6 came out yesterday and you're going to suggest some ghetto variant. get bent.
>>319525176
It actually looks that good. But screenshot is from widescreen mod:
http://modelrail.otenko.com/electronics/commandos-behind-enemy-lines-resolution-fix#downloads
Vanilla game runs in 640x480 by default
>>319525272
>what are resolution mods for old games
nigga, how new are you?
>>319525272
>>319525412
but the assets aren't changed, so it's p cool
>>319525369
>nigger nethack 3.6 came out yesterday
This is actually news to me, I know what I'm doing at work today.
>ripping on dNH
Shit's great, the only thing I don't like about it is how they treated Gehennom.
>>319525412
>>319525470
>how new are you?
old enough to have played it on release. when you increase the pixel density of the art by 2x it's not the same perception of the art. yes the game looked like that but it didn't look like that.
>>319525523
fair enough
>>319525523
>yes the game looked like that but it didn't look like that.
>>319525470
Yeah, that's why most 2D PC games age nicely. You just need to increase rendering resolution to make them a bit more playable on newer hardware
>>319525523
That already into perfectionist territory. If you have such fanatic heavy demands, you probably already have another 90s~00s~ PC setup ready to go with CRT display to boot.
I mean I get you, I have CRT TV for 4-6 gen consoles too, but PC games took minimum hit from transferring to more hires LCD displays
>>319516084
Similar plight. I'm playing through FEAR again right now and some Dawn of War.
>>319516084
Shoulda got an APU man
>>319525691
they don't think it be like it is, but it do
>>319525786
>If you have such fanatic heavy demands
I don't have and didn't make any demands, I said the game didn't look like that. Showing art at double pixel density doesn't represent the way the game looked. Not that it didn't look great. I'm just saying.
>crt
LOL. As someone who grew up with them, couldn't wait to do away with them and never see one again. I think it's hilariously cute that kids now chase this horrible technology because it's "vintage"
>hurr i can't play smash brothers with 10 milliseconds of input lag it isn't possible
>>319516084
>that picture
>>319525974
up to 6th gen 3D games looks worse on LCD displays, even if you use component cables.
LowPoly models and blurred textures become way more easier to notice. 2D 6th gen look a bit better, but doesn't worth it.
Connect PC-Engine for example to any modern LCD screen and say that it looks better than what you get via connecting it to any old ass CRT TV. It isn't.
>I don't have and didn't make any demands, I said the game didn't look like that. Showing art at double pixel density doesn't represent the way the game looked. Not that it didn't look great. I'm just saying.
Nobody forces you to install mod, just put your monitor in 4:3 mode and play game as you want. I fail to see how widescreen mods make it all worse and "not true to original" tho.
>>319526426
why would i play an old video game? what are you arguing about? did i try to start any argument with you or say anything that needed to be contradicted or argued about? rofl
>Nobody forces you to install mod, just put your monitor in 4:3 mode and play game as you want.
What the FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Did I ever say anything about playing this game?
>>319526567
Ah, you are here to shitpost, gotcha
>>319526628
bro i made a comment and you spent like 5 paragraphs typing all this utterly insane shit
i never said the game looked worse, i never commented on playing it or told anyone how to play it
what i said is
when you present a game as having double the pixel density that it had on release
you are not portraying what the game actually looked like. you're portraying a version of the game that is zoomed out and has double the pixel density. we could not even run games at that resolution when it came out
you somehow turned this into an argument in your head, your insane need to argue from being here has warped your mind
then you tell me i'm shitposting after your paragraphs on paragraphs of utterly fucking ludicrous insane shit that had NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING I WAS TALKING ABOUT OR ANYONE ELSE
>>319527001
Ok. I stand corrected then. Too much overwork, too little thought put in post. Sorry for wasted time.I still prefer warm CRT displays for various reason tho.
>>319516084
OP have you tried pic related + mods? You pretty much can get big battles with little to no framerate drops.
Also archers are OP if used properly.
Time to fulfill the dream you never knew you had and go on a biweekly dwarf fortress binge
