between pcs, i used a laptop without any graphics card and had tons of fun with:
commandos, ace of spades (older version), völgarr the viking, rollercoaster tycoon, terminal velocity, planescape torment and probably others that i can't think of right now
gog helped a lot in that aspect.

not brutal doom with all the fancy decals and effects
>get a dosbox frontend
>download a tonne of shit from abandonware sites

Can someone give me some tips on how to get doom and associated launchers and mods?
I kinda want to but upon learning that there is a ton of launchers, wrappers and what have you with compatibility issues between them I'm kinda lost
dwarf fortress
>>333500946
tell me your specs
Dwarf Fortress. You only need lots of memory allocation.

i started with gzdoom. it seems to be compatible with most wads. for some few, that aren't compatible i also got zdoom later, but you can only get gzdoom for now
so you need 3 things:
1. the launcher (gzdoom)
2. the doom or doom2 iwad (see pic related on where to get it, upper right corner)
3. gameplay or map wads (wads are basically the mod-files for doom. also see pic related)
you download gzdoom, download the doom or doom2 iwad and put it in the gzdoom folder.
for now, doom should be able to run if you simply open the gzdoom launcher. ingame, you can fiddle with the videosettings and controls as you like. i recommend for your first time to play it as originally intented as possible (ctrl-alt-arrowkey-controls and low res), though i'd totally understand if you wanna play with wasd and mouse.
now, to get mods (wads) to work you download the wad into your gzdoom folder. then you click the .wad file you want to play with and drag it over the launcher file.
boom, there you go, thats how easy it is to mod doom
if you want to combine multiple mods (e.g. a gameplay wad and a map-pack wad), simply click on all the wads that you want to play with while holding ctrl and then drag them over the launcher again. as long as they don't conflict, it should be working
have fun

Huniecam Studio.

Drag them over the file?
In the system explorer/file browser?
Seems a strange way to do it, I'd expect to drag them in a folder or a .wad selection option in the launcher itself
>>333507104
Yes, drag them over the launcher's exe with the file explorer.
>>333500946
Any game using the Source engine can run on most toasters

May I ask the reason for such a weird system? Why couldn't they use a mod folder and/or loader?
>>333506712
Doom always had mouse support, just not freelook.
>>333506712
>drag and drop
doesn't it come with configurable .ini file, like zdoom?
>>333508356
dont know the reason, but it makes it fairly easy to create desktop shortcuts to your favourite mod-combinations
how to:
create shortcut of gzdoom.exe
right-click the shortcut and go to the file path
next to the path of the gzdoom.exe put -file and then the filenames of the wads you want to add (as long as they're in the same folder as gzdoom.exe. if not, just put their complete file paths as well)
here is one of mine for example:
"E:\Spiele\GZDoom\gzdoom.exe" -iwad doom2 -file demonsteele-v0.9.pk3 demonsteele-nowthatswhaticallmidi-v3.5.pk3 Rebirth1.wad
here i also specify, which iwad it should use. if you only get the doom2 iwad, you can leave that bit out
voila, now you can open your mod-combination from the desktop with a double click.

If you never played the original Doom, just avoid Brutal and try Chocolate Doom instead of GZDoom (just to understand what was the original way of playing it). Then, if you feel too much uncomfortable, use GZDoom (which remains great for modded and external IWADS).
>>333500946
I have way too many to type out. Narrow the search field for me a little bit. What genres of games specifically are you looking for?
>>333500946
chess, its a classic, a bit hard to get into, but worth the effort, the dev cant be assed to fix the balance, some units ar op as fuck, also so pick white for ezmode
>>333503429
Factorio and Prison Architect actually need quite a decent CPU. Most of the desktop ones will do, but not every laptop one
>>333509351
You can make the bat file yourself if you want to combine multiple wads
>>333508356
How would I know? I didn't program it
Pretty much any game made before 2007 or so will run on the average laptop. How "undemanding" are we talking here?
If something like FEAR is too mch, then just tick backwards year by year until your PC can run the majority of games from that year.

Solitaire
Minesweeper
3D Pinball
Newgrounds

Question: if I wanted to "chain" level wads together, what should I do?
