Pocket Tanks and LBreakOut2 (there's a Windows port).

EDIT: Oh yeah. And text adventures.

Register and install the free NES client...

I use an Adaptoid as my controller, but you would need a PCMCIA USB module to use one.

Fallout 1 would be killer for a P150 laptop. The load times on my P2 400 and the blazing fast (at the time) 5400 RPM drive were unbearably long. I can't imagine loading the game on a P150, even if it had a 5400RPM drive.

I played Fallout 1 on my 1995 power rig, a Micron P133 / 32 MB RAM / 1.6 GB WD drive and performance was fine. I'd have to crack it open to check but I suspect the WD is 4200 RPM at best.

I seem to recall there being load-time problems for some people doing the "huge" (all content) install instead of the "medium" install, but I think there was a patch to fix that.

Hmmm.... I'm pretty sure I used the Huge install because we had a massive 10GB 5400 RPM drive. Maybe that was it.

check out Home of the Underdogs (yahoo it =)

If you hooked up a mouse you would have many more good choices. Wouldn't Quake run even?

Diablo
Full Throttle
Monkey Island series

I second Console Classix

Also, virtually any NES or GB game should play fine with a good emulator. I've seen some serial-port gamepads just for laptops (CHEAP on eBay).

Doom III, Halflife 2, GTA Vice City, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell....

I bought a CD once with like 50 atari games on it... I figure your lappy should be able to handle atari graphics
