What are some lightweight games you like, which will run on an old and slow computer?

I've got an old 233Mhz laptop with a measly 64megs of RAM, and was wondering what fun games could run nicely on it. I can't get sound to work, but the screen is really nice with 1024x768 resolution.

Just looking at, say, Debian's package list is overwhelming: http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/

I'm hoping to put together a nice little apt-get line to load up a bunch of fun little games for old computers. Something like:

apt-get install angband crawl gnome-sudoku liquidwar pingus sopwith sudoku ...

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've always been a fan of Konquest. It's a KDE game, but I don't think it requires KDE and it should have low system requirements. At one point I actually set out to make a semi-clone of the original game that it's based on, but sadly that little QBASIC project is probably lost to the depths of one of my Windows crashes (never again, Windows, never again:p).

X-Wing was a pretty sweet game that I played back in the day too on an even lower spec machine than that. I wonder if it would run under DOS Box on that.
