Reccomendations?

[RyMan]

:bye: I'm running my old Windows 98 computer right now because my other is being used. I don't know how great of a graphics card I have on here. I can run things like Duke Nukem 3D. That's probably the most advanced thing I've run on it. I can barely play Starsiege Tribes on the lowest of qualities. So that's about my limit. I have 48MB of RAM on here. So if you know of a good game worth trying, post it here. I don't really like text stuff, I do like things like Civ. I'm a fan of top down stuff. And just recently I've taken up turn based games and 2D stuff.

[Scatty]

Well, if getting is no question for you, and you like Civilization, and if you're a fan of top down view...try Dungeon Keeper :ok:

[RyMan]

I actually just got that a little while back. It is a great game, but I need a break from that. It's hosted on Underdogs in case you didn't know.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Try a few adventure games, they can keep you busy.
A few from the site, that'd probably work...

-7 Days a Skeptic
-Alone In The Dark
-An American Tail - Fievel Goes West
-Beneath A Steel Sky
-Cirque De Zale
-Conquest Of The Longbow : The Legend Of Robin Hood
-Darkseed
-Death Gate
-Dune
-Enclosure
-Fable (Rather big, and might not work well)
-Flight Of The Amazon Queen
-Hook
-Jack The Ripper
-KGB
-King's Quest Series
-Legacy : The Realms Of Terror
-Lure Of The Temptress
-Maniac Mansion Deluxe
-Martion Memorandum
-Maupti Island
-Mean Streets
-Personal Nightmare
-Pirates! Gold
-Project Nomad
-Return To Ringworld
-Ringworld : Revenge Of The Patriarch
-Spellcasting 101
-Touche : The Adventures Of The Fifth Musketeer
-Veil Of Darkness
-Waxworks

And just try browsing through other genres.

You don't need a graphic card at all to run Duke Nukem 3D... I think you could run that game on a 486. :P

[_r.u.s.s.]

haha, without graphic card you should see colored lines displayed on monitor :bleh:
you probably mean some kinda 3d accelerated graphic card with direct x support=)

[The Fifth Horseman]

1 MB graphics card is more then enough for Duke.

[Scarface]

Try some adventures... those games can keep you glued to your chair for a long time. Or if you're fanatic of action games there are some great games like Blood or Cannon Fodder

[RyMan]

I didn't say "I don't have a graphics card". And I'm only 15 so to tell you the truth, I don't know what a 486 is. I meant to say Tribes was the most advanced thing I ran. And I'm not surprised Duke only needs a MB, afterall it is a DOS program. Already played and loved 5 Days a Stranger and 7 Days A Skeptic :ok: . Those only made me jump a couple times LOL... I'm gonna look through those other games though. Not a big fan of point and clicks either. Some keep me entertained, but eh.

Edit: Ah, that guy said it, and that's who you were talking to...

[punch999]

Just to dispel rumors about the age thing being a valid excuse. Im thirteen and I know what a 486 is.

[RyMan]

Okay, but I still don't know what it is :bleh: . I figured it was before my time. Maybe not.

[kajjj]

If I remember if right, it was a processor just before Pentium started to rule the world

[Eagle of Fire]

My first computer was a 286, and it was sloooooooow... There was a "turbo" button which made a lot of difference, as well as no hard drive and two big 51/4" floppy drives. LOL

[kajjj]

before I had the AT, I had Atari 800XL :D

[RyMan]

I'm glad I only know the days of Pentium, but I would of loved the hacking :whistle: . Just to play around :whistle: . Hehe... But I'm glad I missed 'em for the most part. I mean, I'm patient, but I dunno how long I'd last!

[Scatty]

You have no idea what you're missing....

Amiga times = golden gaming time....

486 was top of the line when you were about 4 years old. May I suggest a history lesson from Wikipedia?

Just to dispel rumors about the age thing being a valid excuse. Im thirteen and I know what a 486 is.
Kudos to you. From your conduct on the forums I've expected you to be an adult - quite a surprise.
Most thirteen year olds one sees around can't make out the difference between an FDD and GUI (heck, usually they don't even know what either is).

If I remember if right, it was a processor just before Pentium started to rule the world
Yup. Pentium 1 was actually initially given name of i586 - it was supposed to be a next generation - but since Intel could not copyright that, they renamed it to Pentium.

I'm glad I only know the days of Pentium, but I would of loved the hacking* . Just to play around* . Hehe... But I'm glad I missed 'em for the most part. I mean, I'm patient, but I dunno how long I'd last!
Hacking isn't dead nowadays, just less in the plain view.

Aw, sweet old days ^_^ I had a Commodore +4 then, with all those cool games and BASIC for programming. My 386DX came only 4 years later ^_^ And don't say but I have a 3.5 Ghz Athlon64 with 1 G RAM and a X800 Pro :D
