  • wesnoth

    An open source, turn-based strategy game with a high fantasy theme.

    Those are all paid. If you want to you can pick through some lists of free games here, here, here, here, and most recently here; also this PCGamer article on them as well. FreeCiv (fan based version of classic Civ), The Battle for Wesnoth (hex-grid turn-based strategy in a fantasy setting), Angband (a proper rogue-like dungeon crawler), ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery) (a more up-to-date rogue-like which also features an RPG story mode), Spelunky Classic (the original version of the famous game), Minetest (a lowend friendly Minecraft clone), SuperTuxKart (a nice kart style game with several play modes), and Shadow Warrior Classic Complete (an og FPS with some cringe-worthy humor thrown in) are some of my favorites.

  • daggerfall-unity

    Open source recreation of Daggerfall in the Unity engine

    I recommend you checkout the free fan made standalone game The Dark Mod, a homage to the Thief series, though I don't know if it will do well with your setup (the OpenGL implementation by Intel was/is spotty). Also, The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall (free) imported into the Daggerfall Unity fan recreation that has many improvements would be worth a try. Not sure how the game will run on your system with Unity, but it's free and actually a fairly decent game, if the mod doesn't work out the game will still run in DOSBox it comes with.
