Great games that don't need great hardware to run

[mopar man]

Yes, that will be problematic. Hope you get it fixed.

 

[EXCellR8]

Glad to see you got Riddick EFBB on there, THE most underrated game of all time imo.

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

Agreed. The Longest Journey, Grim Fandango and a couple of other games also fall in that category IMO.

 

[snacks]

Underrated means it got lower scores than it deserved, you're probably thinking of something more like under appreciated.

Hey wat about postal 2?

http://gopostal.com/postal2/

 

[flashn00b]

what about gunbound, mabinogi and maplestory?

 

[Quickshot]

I would add Operation Flashpoint to the list

 

[Justin]

You should add the Exile/Avernum/Geneforge games to that list. Great little RPGs if you don't care too much about high-end graphics.


I also don't see Elder Scrolls III: Daggerfall on there, even though you have both Arena and Morrowind.

 

[Justin]

And how did I miss the Ultima series?

One of the longest-running and most amazing RPG series of all time!

Ultima I
Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress
Ultima III: Exodus
Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar
Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny
Ultima VI: The False Prophet
Ultima VII: The Black Gate + Forge of Virtue
Ultima VII: The Serpent Isle + The Silver Seed
Ultima VIII: Pagan
Ultima IX: Ascension
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss
Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds


I personally suggest Ultima 6 and 7 for anyone who is a fan of story-rich RPGs, and Ultima 4/5 for a very unique style of game.

You can pick up Ultimas 1 through 8 on a single CD via the Ultima Collection.

I also don't see Elder Scrolls III: Daggerfall on there, even though you have both Arena and Morrowind.

Hehe, it was Elder Scrolls II, not III.

 

[Justin]

Whoops, typo

Daggerfall and Ultima VII were both eye-opening experiences for me.

 

[mopar man]

right, I'm checking out Ultima right now. I actually never knew about it.

 

[Falco75]

Civilization! The first 2 (some say are the best) could practically run on a toaster, with 3 and 4 not being very steep at all.

 

[Lou3]

What an awesome thread! Now I'm not in such a hurry to upgrade my system. I haven't played a lot of the games on the list, but I should before running to upgrade.

Might I add Pop the Balloon Dog?

Just kidding - but, hey, my wife likes it.

 

[RockmasteR]

Cold Fear is a great game with great graphics and it works onsome old PCs, I think it must be added to the list

 

[jonnymoon]

thanks for the list =)

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

Hey guys, thanks for the fantastic contributions. I've finally updated the list, thanks to some tweaks made by Mr. Julio.

Enjoy and keep them coming!

 

[Jager]

Battlefield Vietnam... really great game... nothing truly beats flying a Huey and having Music from the chopper sound out over the battle field, while your gunnies fire like madmen

 

[Technochicken]

Speedy Egbert is a great side-scrolling game, and it will run on a pentium 3.

 

[kyleman]

definately add combat arms
i can run it on my 1.9ghz pentium 4, geforce 2 mx400 with 512mb RAM
you can download it free from nexon..give google a shot.
great fun, sort of like cs (multiplayer based) but its free
heaps of servers 24/7 modable guns etc.
hours on that one

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

Good additions, but please do look at the list itself since a large majority of the games you've posted are already on the list.

Thanks for the other contributions though.

 

[Residenthalo]

Wouldn't Runescape go on the list

 

[mopar man]

Do you not realize that it says "Great games", not "Barley moderate, killed through cheating games?"

Nah, just kidding, but I think we're aiming more toward games you install and play, not online flash games.

 

[Kastan]

World of Goo - Its a really great game and kind of new. Check out if you like awesome 2d games.
Freedom Fighters - 3rd person shooter
Tactical Ops - First one is great, based on UT (99) engine. Like CS.,
Audiosurf - Ride your music.. hard to describe.
Scarface: World is Yours


Actually that system you listed can run lots of games, but the thing is if you want to run it on high or low/barely running mode.

ill check over my game collection and add more
