Adequate for web browsing, maybe not so much for gaming, depends on the game and the resources it requires.

Can you give a few examples of the games you want to play?

I have been running Android 4.1.1 (Jellybean) on a Samsung Galaxy S (original) for a month or so and it works fine for all apps, and web browsing. I do not play any games but could test a few out and report back.

The specs on this model are as follows:

HARDWARE

System chip:

Exynos 3

Processor:

Single core, 1000 MHz, ARM Cortex-A8

Graphics processor:

PowerVR SGX540

System memory:

512 MB RAM

Built-in storage:

16 GB

Storage expansion:

microSD, microSDHC up to 32 GB

A few apps. do not run in 4.1.1, but they may be working on new releases to overcome this deficiency.
