    Help! Gaming drought ahead!

    I've got to go away for a couple of days on a course, so I taking along a laptop to tide me over as I won't be near a PC for a couple of days.

    Its a P233 machine, so not hugely powerful, but can anyone reccomend me a site where I can download some freware/sharware games old enough to run on the lappy?

    I tried doing a network install of Worms last night (no CD drive in the lappy) but it wouldn't work, so I'll have to download stuff onto it today before I go.

    HELP!! (cos otherwise I'll have to make small talk and socially interact with people)

    ..alternatively you could look into emulation as that system should be able to run old school Amiga and Atari ST games as well as some of the earlier consoles games
