Recommend an old game for me.

Newer games that might work on your laptop:
Torchlight (dungeon crawler rpg)
Plants vs. Zombies (strategy)
World of Goo (physics puzzler)
Braid (platformer puzzler)

Otherwise (other than what was already recommended):
Quake 3
Starcraft
Duke Nukem 3d
Doom/Heretic/Hexen
Ultima
