i don`t really know, but i don`think so. I think s2 needs 60 Mhz.
but try civilization, duke nukem 2 (3d might run under lowest configuration.),
The King`s Quest series and LSL. that should do it.

I got civ1(sorry about putting civ2!) to work.
I also found it had 1MB more memory than what I thought!
I was relying on the startup Bios readout,which didn't include the xms memory or someting.The DOS command MEM told me it has 2660KB of memory in total,Which sounds good.

Mine is running good, i just got one problem: Everytime i play a game, after a certain amount of time, the system stops and the tone last played by the soundcard is everything you hear. Ctrl Alt Del won't help, neither would the reset button, only the power button does what it's supposed to do. This happens with games on both harddisks, and trying to put in my old hd won't work, because the pc doesn't recognize it.


Happens to me too on a pentium 1.But not that often.Heres my hint:
Press alt ctrl del TWICE.The computer will either restart or come up with a blue screen.If it comes up with the blue screen,Then press space and wait.
Both ways will not keep the game running,But the reset button not working?sounds bad.
I reckon its atwo things on your IRQ ports with the same number or something.
sorry I can't solve that.

thanks for the tip, keen, but my pc is a dos machine. that blue screen is what windows got famous for. anyway, the computer's down now, so it doesn't matter.

holy crap, i feel so new, well i am new. I have an old pentium 2 processor 350 MHZ and i am having alot of trouble running any games on my comp ;_;.... I want to play x-com apocalypse so bad, but i dont remember how i got it to run on my comp a long time ago *i had cd of x-com but cant find it anymore. So i need help. The DosBox doesnt run on my comp even though i followed the faqs... then i found out that it might need 2 ghz so i'm screwed there....How can i get x-com to run on my ancient comp

Simple. Get another HDD. Install DOS 7 or Free Dos on it. Install the game. Have fun.
