What games would you play on old-ish pcs

Basically we need to organise an event at college. We decided - being the nerds we are to do a charity lan event or similiar. Wondering of a list of games to use on these pcs. They do vary from room to room, the worst being Pentium 4 something or other, 512mb of ram and the newest being Pentium D dual core, 1gb of ram - hopefully we can get the newer room. We have already worked out they can run:

  • Unreal Tournament Original
  • Flatout 2 extremely low :(

Not really tested anything else lol

We want a varying list of games to try, but we may bring in two decent pcs for one on ones in:

  • C&C3
  • PES8
  • Flatout 2 decent settings

We need it to be able to run over the network flawlessly without any networking settings having to be changed (as we dont have administrative rights), plus the games would need to be ran off the C drive (not installed) direct from the .exe)

Any other list of games for onboard graphics pcs plus any for one on ones on decent pcs.

Cheers
 
I would say Red Alert 2 but this need IPX Networking etc. to be installed...:( not good

Needs to be copy to drive, run, play, delete kinda thing...unless lecturer is really nice and lets us install them like he did with Unreal :p
 
^ Those look a bit slow paced really

Yea we play at lunchtimes lol

We just need to make sure

a) they run

b) we have permission to run external software

c) they dont require administrative rights (ive install winamp on my account easily enough yet speedfan would not :S)

Need a fast paced RTS such as red alert 2 (but it needs damn IPX networking installed ARGH)
