I have included a image of my specs, im also using Linux sense thats what works on my laptop. Im looking for free to play games that will run smoothly on my system/laptop. I would like to try popular and maybe online titles.

I thought about trying old school RuneScape but idk.

    -Free Stars on steam, used to be called Star Control 2. Old school space adventure. And it is literally free as well.

    -Imperialism 2 on GOG, 4x game set in the age of exploration and industrialization.

    -Civilization 4, the best of the series in my opinion, I’ve played them since the 90s.

    -Beyond Good and Evil, comes to mind, don’t remember much about it, except that it’s good.

    -To the Moon, indie adventure / puzzle game. Has great reviews by the developers aunt, among other things.

    -Banner Saga 1-3, holy Nordic inspired epic tactical strategy, batman.

    -Jagged Alliance 2, another tactical combat game, modern time, funny, realistic and really difficult.

    Eh, realized that only the first one is free to play. But the other ones are old (or very old), so you can snatch them on sale on steam, GOG or Epic for less than a chocolate bar and get dozens of hours of enjoyment from them.

    Technically, every game is free as long as you know where to find it.

    And any game made before 2010 is likely to run perfectly on these specs.

      I love new Vegas, but none of the mods I found fix the 1gb memory leak error. Crashes so often, it’s unplayable for me.

    Tumbleweed, there are dozens of us!! <3

    The trusty twinkpad will play a lot of *‘good old game’*s, just to name a few:
    Doom(s), Quake(s), Unreal, Deus Ex, Elder Scrolls (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), 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, Dark Souls (1 & 2, bcs 30fps, but only barely/unpleasanty?), …

    Maybe some newer retro ones, like Dusk?

    Or not that visually important games, like 2D platformers and management games, etx - like Stardew Valley, Terraria, Dead Cells, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Momodora(s?), Spelunky(s), …

    All of the mentioned are excellent.

    Any Gameboy game with an emulator.

    Nintendo doesn’t care about making their old games, nay, works of art like Golden Sun still playable, so I consider them free to play at this point.

      Bit of an odd example to cite since both Golden Sun games are officially available on NSO.

        Seems like it’s a yearly subscription membership only thing. If I can’t buy it and own it I pirate it.

          The person I replied said Nintendo wasn’t making their old games playable at all. You’re complaining about something else.

      Many people look at the game graphics and think it’s a joke, but the gameplay is actually great, even by today standards. If you’re even a little into transportation games, just give it a go. It’ll also run on a toaster.
