The following is a list of games suitable for play on lower specification computers such as older desktop computers, laptops and netbooks. A game is considered for the list if the ''minimum'' system requirements permit a single-core or low-powered dual-core processor (e.g. Intel Pentium architecture) and at maximum a GeForce 6-series [or AMD equivalent X-series] GPU. Note that only native game versions for Windows, Mac and Linux are noted in this table, and some games incompatible with modern operating systems will be excluded. | The following is a list of games suitable for play on lower specification computers such as older desktop computers, laptops and netbooks.
