I have a microsoft surface pro 2, aka shitty gaming computer, awesome school computer

Thought about getting a USB 3.0 external gpu but haven't found one and they apparently aren't worth it

:)

 

What are some old games with bad graphics that I can run just fine on it and enjoy?

Shipping sucks

Any gameboy(color adavnce etc) snes or nes games are a good choice due to emulation

 

Roller coaster tycoon 1 and 2

Total War Rome (It should run fine I think)

 

You can also play a lot of indie games like shovel knight, FTL, Darkest Dungeon etc
