We have 4 computers in our house:My high-end Ubuntu box, a decent Vista laptop, a OK XP box, and a crappy XP box. I am looking for some games that we could play over our LAN that can run on all the systems. Not only do they have to be able to play on Linux/Vista/XP, but they have to run on a P3/448RAM system also.

So please post your favorite games, or links to places I could find some.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks, that was just what I was looking for. This will give us something to take a break on from Halo 3 :p

To add to that, you could also try the turn-based strategy games Battle for Wesnoth (http://www.wesnoth.org/) or Freeciv (http://www.freeciv.org/), both of which require very low computer spec.
