Games...

Is online flash games my only option just now, I'm sitting here with a ridiculously crap pc. P4 at 2.4GHz and 512MB ram. Geforce 4 though :eek:

My grans pc, wassn't expecting that in it.

Maybe I should just download steam for it and play the original half-life... Just any recommendations duuudes.

Or any free downloadables.

Thanking you for your time! /salute.

3 words. Medieval: Total War (the 1st one).

UT2004 will run on it. With high graphics too. Theres whitchcraft going on in that game im sure.

LeJosh · 20 May 2009 at 23:03

Hmm I'm kind of only here for couple days and can't really purchase any games. I'm not into the whole piracy deal (as is the forums).

But just any free downloadables just now would be handy. I'm bored out my skull.

I did bring games with me but I don't suspect supreme commander, half life 2, mass effect would cope very well on low.

Install Steam, buy the Unreal pack or UT2004, download, play. Then when you get back to a proper PC you can use them then.

Thanks man I'll check it out.

Edit: Oh dear, too much monies.

Skeeter · 20 May 2009 at 23:19

Shame you didnt mention sooner. The channel island online shopping place has Unreal Anthology for £8. Thats Unreal, Unreal 2, Unreal Tournament and UT2004.

Do you know of any freeware games that I could play?

I've been google hunting freeware games but I'm skeptical...

manic111 · 20 May 2009 at 23:27

Check out a freeware game called Savage...pretty tootin' fun!

Oh sweet, that looks good. Seems to have a sequel out.

manic111 · 20 May 2009 at 23:35

I played the first one a couple of years ago and it was good for a free game, a fair bit of fun. Not sure how the community will be now, but give it a go.

LeJosh · 20 May 2009 at 23:43

Man it says my network is 4.7Mbps but only getting 20KB speed... That can't be right surely? -_-

Thanks for the link though Manic111.

bulder's gate apparently is good on low spec system

LeJosh · 21 May 2009 at 00:07

I'd have to pay plus I'm only here for a couple days.

any way you can download it legally? i have never used steam etc but i hear a lot of old games are downloadable these days...

LeJosh · 21 May 2009 at 00:10

*Does more google hunting*

I'll report the findings.

Free Ware games available

Re-released Commercial games as freeware

Trackmania United Forever, the original was the first PC game I brought, and I ran it on pretty much that spec (P4 2.53Ghz, 512mb and GF4 MX440 64MB!!)

Remember getting a 9600pro 128mb and being astonished at the graphics on full!!!
Command And Conquer Generals would be a good bet too, brilliant RTS. Then the normal stuff like Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and Worms Armageddon...

unwashed potato! · 21 May 2009 at 00:22

ooo what about mafia? fairly certain it would run on those specs as it runs on my turd laptop and is by far the bestest best game you could ever play from the past.
