Answer
Hi Tyler,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.  Between kids, work, and home, it takes me awhile to do research to answer questions.  

Disclaimer:

Before, I begin, I just want to say that I don't advocate downloading games online due to all the viruses, trojans, and spyware that exists on the internet.  I am only providing this information because you asked. If you download games, I can't be held responsible for any harm that could happen to your computer. Therefore, if you are under 18 or using someone elses computer get their permission to download any games that you want to play prior to downloading.  You must also assume full responsiblity if a problem should arise and can't hold myself or About.com liable.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest.  I have some places that have games under 10mb that you might be interested in.  Below is a list of places for you to check out.  All that I ask is if you are 18 that you make sure that it is okay with a parent or guardian for you to view these sites.  I try not to pick inappropriate website but I can't check all the games.  So I ask that an adult is aware that you are using these if your under 18.  Thanks!

If the links don't show up clickable, copy and paste the entire link into your web browser.  If the link is broken copy each line individually into your browser to get the entire link.

http://www.freeoldies.com/fo_search.php?type=guide&rub=adventure&lang=us (cool old games - tons here!)
http://www.cgarchive.com/Gamelist.php?genre=4&system=1 (another big listing of games!)
http://www.abandonwarering.com/?Page=Listing (I just found this site but they have a huge listing of sites that offer abandoned software which is now freely distributed on the internet. There should be a ton of places to find free software that meets your needs here!)

I think the classic games look like your best bet. There are a ton of games in every category that were made for older slower computers.  They need to be downloaded and played differently so read the instructions and faqs carefully to learn how to do.  

I also found this Online Game: not sure if your connection will be okay but you can try:

http://www.gumshoe-online.com/ (dectective game looks fun!)

Even though these are only a few links there are tons of games here to keep you busy.  if you need more help or have questions feel free to contact me again.  Goodluck and Safe Surfing.

And thanks for the great question.  I've learned a lot of new things thanks to you! :)

Sincerely,
Candace
