SimCity2k was the best. I have a copy of it actually. It runs wonderful on XP.
Maybe you could "borrow" it at the next clug meeting ;)

Thats not that old... I think I am gonna cry now. I play Master of
Orion (1 and 2), old skool battlechess (ran nicely on my old 386
laptop), global conquest (a really good strategy game that is still fun
to play), star control 2 (or the redone Ur Quon Masters, which has
debian sources for native linux gaming goodness, woo-hoo). I also like
Sim City 2000, and a host of fun DOS era games.
Also, your machine specs may also explain why FC5 is slow, it is geared
towards higher end hardware.
