I havn't played any of the games in the repository besides the card games. Any suggestions for my 2mb video lappy?

If you use DOOM, make sure you provide one or more of the following wads:
doom.wad (original or Ultimate)
doom1.wad (shareware)
doom2.wad (freedoom or commercial)
tnt.wad
plutonia.wad

You can download freedoom and the shareware wad for free. tnt and plutonia come from Final DOOM. You can also find the commercial wads on the DOOM Collector's Edition CD, which can be found near the budget games at your favorite store.

The laptop I use has a neomagic video card that can be used on one meg, so what I have tried is using old shareware windows games under wine ( a 5.00 cd bought at walmart with 99 games on it). As long as they do not require 3dfx or direct x they seam to run.

Happy gaming...
