Good games/Bad Graphics

Right now I'm using a graphix card that's so bad it might as well be nonexistant. The games I'm playing for it are limited to civilization 2, and basic card games. Does anybody know of any games that don't require a great (who am I kidding... I baught this card off of a friend for $3 cuz I didn't have one) or even a decent or OK graphics card to play?
 
If your card is that bad, you must be on PCI.

Sorry, NO CARD on PCI is good enough to run remotely modern games well.

AGP is the very bare minimum these days, and even AGP is losing a lot of ground to PCI-E.

As for games, well, Counter-Strike runs on fairly low settings. Same with Diablo II.
 
Doom obviously. Blood 2 is pretty good, though if you're running XP you'll need the update, as it can be a bitch to get to run right.

Honestly, I keep an old 600 Mhz P3 with 98 on it for my old school gaming needs. Though I really need to chuck the 4MB TNT1 card (might want to be careful with that though, wouldn't want to chip a couple of "chips" lol) on there and go for a an old 32MB or 64MB GeForce
 
I believe alot of the early Blizzard games are known to be able to run on older cards. Warcraft 2, Starcraft, Diablo 1 & 2.

I have an old laptop with terrible graphics power, but it runs one of my favorite games of all time: Axis & Allies (the old WWII turn-based board game).
 
Older (like Pre 2001-2002) strategy and RPG games run fine even on my old Compaq with an old Radeon 7000 series card. Plenty of good ones can be found in the jewel value case section even.
