Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more!

Default Do you know any games for my CRAP PC ?

I have an incredibly bad PC; I think my dad bought it back in 1999 or 2000. Unfortunately I'll be able to get a new one in July, after the exams.
This piece of crap has got 8 GB. No. Not RAM. It's an 8 GB HDD. My iPod has got 10 times more.
I think its 128 MB ram. Maybe even 256.
Crap graphics card. Intel III processor.
I don't know how, but I got XP to run on this shit. Whereas it was designed for Windows NT and 98.

I'm kind of sick of playing Half Life over and over again, what I've probably done 10 times.

So here's my question:
Do you know any good/fun games I could play on this 8-year-old over-sized calculator? Thanks.

Diablo 1+2, Fallout 1+2, Sim City 2000, The Sims, Warcraft 1+2, Age of Empires 2, Red Alert 1+2 and Baulders Gate 1+2.

Lots of sequals, the notable sequals however are Diablo Fallout and Baulders Gate.

If you have a shitty PC your only reasonable choice is RPGs.

^ what he said. most of those games can be torrented rly easily these days anyway. oh, and system shock 2. a mix of fps and rpg, but a rly good game and your old system should be able to handle it.

you can download it free at underdogs (http://www.the-underdogs.info). actually, you might be able to find lots of other games there that your crap computer can handle.

i can recommend a few. i used to have a computer like yours and underdogs was where i got most of my games from.

I was recently rummaging through my box of computer hardware, mostly outdated stuff, because I never throw hardware out, and came upon a one gigabyte hard drive.

I for one, couldn't believe that I still had that one gig drive, and was also in disbelief that at one point in time, that drive was actually hot shit. My dad said when he had his computer with that drive in it, he pretty much had the best computer out of everyone he knew.

Unreal Tournament possibly one of the greatest games ever :) plus you can get custom maps but they are really hit and miss..... Red alert 2 is always fun as is simcity 3000, age of wonders erm... what about deus ex?

I have a computer that's even better than that, and I don't think I could play a lot of these games listed.

Deus ex. There's really nothing to explain here, that you probably don't already know.

Aliens Vs Predator 2. The only game that actually scared me. Goddamn Marine Campaign.

Mechwarrior 3. I played the shit out of that game when I was a kid.

Tribes 1 is still kickin ass today.
Tribes 2, but I still prefer 1.

Command and conquer upto generals you should be able to play fine.

If you're into RPG's you could check out Neverwinter Nights.

continuum .38 or .40, takes like no memory i play it all day long. to do the man who said diablo 2, if you are talking about d2 and then installing the expansion (which its pointless to play without the expansion) you are talking about consuming like half of his memory. full install of both games is like 2.4 gigs.
