    I have a decent desktop at home, but no broadband, I have broadband in the flat i stay in whilst working, but only a crappy laptop. (p111 256Mb, 30Gb, ati 128M graphics, probably shared - dont know) havent really done any online gaming since diablo 2 and starcraft.

    Are there any decent online games out there that I could play using my "sure it'll do to surf the net in blanch" laptop ideally something along the lines of starcraft or diablo.

    Thanks.

    Defcon should run on your machine I reckon. Very addictive too. If you purchase it off the net its only a small download too so you can play in no time!

    there's still all the HL1 mods that are still popular (DOD and Counter Strike.)

    I'm pretty sure I've played Starcraft on a P2, 5GB, Intel 2MB Graphic Card... so you should be grand.

    Also, get Doom2.

    There's still lots of good games you can play on that.

    Fps

    Counterstrike
    Day of deafeat
    Quake 3
    Deus Ex (fps with rpg elements, great single player game)

    Rpg

    Any of the Elder scroll series pre oblivion should run on it no problem. Your a little bit over the min specs for morrowwind.
    Dungeon siege

    Rts

    Starcraft
    Warcraft 3
    Cossacks
