DOSBox + Abuse = Hours of fun that can run on most computers. I mean, even my laptop can run it at full speed, and it can barely run L4D at absolute minimum settings. Might also want to look for other fun games in there. ;)

Also, with DOSBox, i also recommend the original Quake. While the full version costs, the shareware version doesn't, and it's still plenty fun. Quake isn't found at Abandonia, but you can find the demo at http://www.xtcabandonware.com/ and probably some other places too.

I'm also looking for a new browser game to play, i'll post here if I find a good one.

Dragon Age flash made by EA2D

quake live is pretty kickass

mechquest? i dunno you might like it.

That dragon age game is pretty good. I have The console version.

Why don't you try minecraft?
