Old school shooters like Quake or Duke Nukem 3D ought not to be too taxing.

Total Annihilation or Starcraft if you want a less obvious choice than Red Alert.

NFS:2000 (Porsche Challenge) if you want a racing game that will run on almost anything. Toca and Toca 2 might be worth a punt as well.

Ooh, Total Annihilation. That's still one of the best RTS games of all time IMO, was way ahead of it's time when it came out. I'm sure I've still got a copy of it somewhere.

OpenTTD, if you loved Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Hours'll vanish to it

Sim City 2000? Transport Tycoon was an amazing game, sadly I never managed to beat the first empire I built. I had planes any everything, made a ton of cash. I seem to remember Cardiff got a very busy airport.

Sim City 2000 was brilliant

Oooh and don't forget Civilization 2, even better game

OpenTTD adds a lot of useful and cool stuff to the game that the original was missing, it's an entirely open source re-creation of the original, still under lots of development. Would love to see it move to a new graphics engine, but I doubt we'll see that any time soon
