PrimoTurbo Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I just got an old system for cheap and I was wondering what games will run on this system. Pentium 3 753Mhz Intel 815 Motherboard Voodoo 3 PCI 2000 16Mb 256 SDRAM 20 Gb of space The system is running on Windows 2000, surprisingly very fast. Any suggestions? Remember I'm running Windows 2000 so please no old dos games. I want more recent games. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted June 13, 2005 MVC Share Posted June 13, 2005 just do this... find the date at which the computer is made That computer will then usually play every game that was made up until that time... and alittle bit after :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixated Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Return to Castle Wolfenstein should play. I used to play it on my old Celeron 750Mhz and my Riva TNT 32mb. Dont know if the Vodoo can handle it though. Also GTA3 maybe? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper217 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 deus ex, tribes (maybe tribes 2), and medal of honor should run decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ride Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 My friend has a very similar PC to yours.He got a GeForce FX 5200 for like $ 60-70 and he can play plenty of the newer games like Max Payne 2, Legacy Of Kain: Defiance, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Tropico 2, ANNO 1503, Warcraft III Reign Of Chaos and The Frozen Throne ... etc. Inversting 60 bucks in a new graphics card pays off.

Shadrack Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Civilization 3 is pretty fun. And it will run fine on that system. You know what else is fun: Kawaks. The arcade street fighter series is killer, and it runs very well on old computer hardware. Just get two gamepads, some beers and friends, you can be set for hours ;) -nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makeshift Hammer Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Unreal. That's still a pretty playable game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatJuice Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 wolfenstein enemy territory might work, my old computer was about the same processor speed though it had considerably more ram. and it somehow managed to run ut2k4 and call of duty, though with that ram and graphics card you probably wouldn't ahve the same luck i definitly recomend starcraft and warcraft 2.

PrimoTurbo Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 I think I'm going to pick up Serious Sam & Deus Ex, haven't passed these games yet. Can anyone suggest any good Strategy or RTS Games? I already have Starcraft, Warcraft 2/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl33per Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Then you already have the best of them. The Red Alert series is pretty good. You've also got the Age Of Empires series, and the Civilization series. Edit: I also recommend Deus Ex. It's one of the most amazing games ever created for the PC.

PrimoTurbo Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yeah I love the C&C series, used to play the original multiplayer on westwood. AoE is good too, haven't really played Civilization III yet. Maybe I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimoTurbo Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Any idea if SiN is any good? I remember it was out about the same time as Half-Life. I can't seem to find Trespasser in any stores, I had the demo once and was amazed of the physics in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espesaly on the map where you have to constuct the gun controls and build that assult ramp, so i dont think it will play.

YBG Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I think you should pick up some old need for speed, that's the good stuff right there (Y) NFS 3 or Hot Pursuit should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET is Team Arena engine which is a little more powerful then Quake3 engine but I'm sure it will still run fine. I could even run Doom3 and Half-Life2 if I really wanted it to, it would like crap but it's possible to play it with some editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
