: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.

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.

-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

-Pirates! Gold
-Project Nomad
-Return To Ringworld

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

Cool

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

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 k: . 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...

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