I really enjoy playing factorio

Skullgirls is great but on lower end machines it can struggle to maintain constant FPS, i.e. Peacock's powers that spam shit all over the screen result on dips on my HTPC macmini with an nvidia 320m (340.xx drivers)

Forgot tremulus!

Heard of a little puzzle game called Mini Metro:

Simplified way of building a subway system for a growing city.

You can get usb copies of snes, genesis, n64, gamecube, etc controllers now. That or just get a usb adapter and run a normal controller.

I use a real nes controller I rewired for usb, an xbox 360 wired controller, or now I have some clones of the snes controllers that are bluetooth that seem pretty good. I wired 360 controller seems to be one of the best options for most although they have the adapters for the 360 and xbox one wireless ones.

For wii games you can just use a real wii controller as they link via bluetooth.

For years emulators have been one of my games of choice for laptops. From playing NES games on like a pentium 1 laptop.

Duke Nukem 3D with the eDuke32 source port. You do need the Duke3D GRP file that comes in either the original, atomic, or Megaton editons of the game but there are not sold anymore so you will have to acquire via other means. There is the World Tour version by Gearbox since they own the Duke Nukem IP and while it has cool additions, problem is the sound quality is pretty low compared to the original.

powder, dungeon crawl stone soup, delver, barony, crack attack, blobwars: blob & conquer, gzdoom or freedoom.

I played this for 2 months straight. Then got into dwarf fortress. My gtx 980 is crying.
