Please send me some ideas! Free titles are better since I don't have a library of older games. I was able to get Minecraft to a playable state, but Hollow Knight couldn't do more than 4fps. I though Neverwinter might work since it was pretty old, but I only managed what appeared to be 1/4 fps. I'm running tests on a core 2 machine with an ATI Radeon HD4250, Fedora on a SSD, 6 GB of DDR 2.

The purpose is to spread the information to people who might be struggling with win 10 or older computers that can't upgrade. I'm offering the Linux upgrade for $10 plus the cost of a SSD. I'm only posting to my Facebook crowd because I can't do much for people who aren't close.

I will gladly post on Lemmy if I keep going. We have until the test computer is sold. Then I am moving on to the pile of Optiplex 9010 computers I bought for testing.

... you charge 10 monies for stuff we are willing to do for free to people that didn't even ask for Linux??

/s (tho that is steep compared to less than 10 monies worth of 'puters)

A few from here, bcs I listed a few already:
Doom(s), Quake(s), Unreal, Deus Ex, Elder Scrolls (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind), Thief(s), Dungeon Keeper(s), Carmageddon, Fallout(s), Resident Evil(s), Vampire: The Masquerade, Hitman(s), Clive Barker’s Undying, Gothic(s), Half-Life, Tomb Raider(s), Myst(s), Monkey Island(s), Baldur’s Gate(s), Icewind Dale(s), Diablo(s), GTA(s), KotOR, Outcast, Serious Sam(s), Cave Story, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Celeste, Momodora(s?), Spelunky (classic), …

But perhaps there are emulators & ppl can play some of these games from their phones (with a keyboard, on their monitors or TVs)?

They won't let me do it for for free. They think I'm doing bad things if I don't charge for it.

Thanks for the list!

I recommend this metroidvania, if you like puzzles and riddles. La-Mulana is an experience.

Looks amazing!

It's a great game, Spelunky from my list takes a lot from it.
