Less demanding games.

I'm going on a trip on the 12th of July. I will be taking my tablet pc with me and need a game for the flight and trip in general. The video card isn't for gaming, it's an intel gma and I don't have a cd rom

Basically what I need is a game that'll kill time, not very demanding and is downloadable.

Thanks in advance

 

What kind of genre of games do you like to play(fps/rts/rpg/racing ect)?

Some of these are pretty nice. C-evo (like Civilization II) and FreeCol are nice strategy games

 

I also recommend Trackmania Nations ESWC. It an arcade-racing game time trial with tons on maps and is visually stunning but runs pretty well on my laptop(see sig) on low at reduced resolution so your card should have no problem.

Also try a DOS emulator to play old school DOS(classic) games.

 

Thanks a lot guys, I'll give them a shot when I get home.

 

Would I be able to play UT2004 by any chance?

 

I second the TrackMania recommendation; just spent a good two hours playing it tonight. And if C-evo is anything like the regular Civilization games, you'll probably be hooked on it pretty quick.

You also could download several game demos (just make sure they have a single-player mode). Rise of Nations is one game that has a very nice demo - you can actually play out a whole game in that one. Halo's demo isn't bad, either - it has a full scenario.

Not sure exactly what the demands of these games are, but they should all run.

UT2004: My guess would be yes. Not sure how old/new of an Intel GMA you have. Requirements on Wiki.

 

Civilization III is playable on my old laptop with a Radeon IGP 200M, which is in the same league as the GMA. Mind large maps with lots of civs in the late game though. Halo was also happily playable on this card (note, the ORIGINAL Halo). I also played Alpha Centauri well, and although it was a bit jerky with the zoom-in effects for the aliens and other enemies encountered, UFO: Aftermath was fine to play too. The older Command and Conquer games should be possible too, probably Tiberian Sun (C&C2) and earlier, since I got C&C Generals going just on the borderline of playability. Hope this gives you an idea of the games you can play.

Its stupidly, stupidly, stupidly, stupidly addictive.

You can play UT2K4 in software rendering mode, most likely.
