I'm getting a new laptop that is going to be more focused on work than gaming.  Of course I'm going to want to do some gaming, so I figured I'd try some of the old classics.  I'm not going to have a dedicated graphics card so I am guessing I need to stick with Diablo II level games.  I've got the following, what games still hold today that are not on my list?

1. Starcraft
2. Diablo (I STILL play it on my desktop).
3. Diablo 2
4. Baldur's Gate I & II
5. Icewind Dale I & II
6. Planscape Torment

Fallout I & II
Deus Ex
Beyond Good and Evil - Adventure RPG
Dungeon Siege I & II
Morrowind Game of The Year Edition or Oblivion
Evil Genius

Titan Quest is similar to Diablo so you may enjoy that.

BF2 and BF2142 while great games are really online games, though they have a token single player element.

Zork I, II & III

Hey they don't get any more classic then that :P

I bet Rise of Nations would play well on that as well as CIV.

Too bad all but two of the game you listed actually need a video card, and he won't have one.
