Game suggestions for a rubbish PC

Had to lower the settings considerably, but my old GeForce 3 Ti 200 could handle CS Source (thus also HL2) with 60+ FPS.

If turn based strategy is your thing; consider civilisation 2 (I hear 3 is also quite good).

Grand Prix Legends will be just fine on that rig

also, combat mission for some good ww2 strategy.

Guild Wars should run ok on that, I know people running it on lower spec systems with no complaints!

HL2 scales like mad, so you'll easily get it running if you drop the details and resolution.

The Neverwinter Nights games run well on lo spec PCs, and of course Baldur's Gate 2.

Thank god someone suggested that. Baldur's Gate 2 all the way. Neverwinter Nights isnt as good IMO, but BG2 is a pinacle of CRPG.

StarCraft!

Yes I would hope it ran ok on that, slight upgrade from the OPs system

Max Payne (both games)

ANY:

Medal of honour

or

Call Of Duty (original version)

All excellent and should run at lowish settings, have Fun!!

Morrowind [use the fps otimiser cos it's pretty cpu intensive]

Excellent game & looks very nice -better gameplay than Oblivion too judging by some forums.

Runs pretty well on my xp1600, GF3 & 512mb

You could even run Oblivion if you use "Oldblivion" -think you'd need 512mb ram though. Runs surprisingly well & looks quite nice in the dungeon areas but the countryside looks horrible.

SOFII was a great game and ran fine on my first personally built PC - 1700XP with a Geforce3TI and 256MB Ram.

Yeah that's a good game. Took me a while to get into the graphics style though -seemed so much different graphically from the 1st one. Thought the 1st one was gorier -remember that bit in the subway toilets where you could chuck a grenade into one of the occupied cubicles

Swat 3 for the win - AWSOME game

Fulcrum · 17 May 2006 at 01:33

You could play CSS or Half life 2 on that, its not that rubbish.

But an old good game is Driver

jim5000 · 17 May 2006 at 02:02

Serious Sam will run lovely on that rig

It's abit old but great fun, much better than 2...

I've got a worse system and Call of Duty 1 GOTY runs fine with all effects high and detailed with low textures at 1024. I have to limit it with vsynch.
Using a 1ghz athlon, ti4200 whcih is broken and 256mb so you should be fine. Used to run max payne on this too.

Mafia works on it too so I'd recommend that also
