battlefield 1942 :rockout:

some earlier hitman games

anything on unreal engine 2.x should work well at 1280x1024

C&C generals and any C&C game before that

worms

empire earth

driver

grand theft auto 3/vice/san an

devil may cry

prince of persia sands of time/two thrones/warrior within

sims... :cry:

theres a host of star wars games thatll work

freelancer

crimson skies

doom/dukenukem

not all fps's sorry. thats all i got off the top of my head, hope youve got some of em.

MilkyWay · Feb 6, 2008

certainly try the ati omega drivers i tried them on my x800gt a while back and it did improve FPS for whatever tweaks it did
try oblivion with everything set to low hmmn other than what been mentioned id try atar wars republic commando short and sometimes the enemies are annoying but a decent game with decent story

oh and get the cod expansion it adds a few more levels if your bored and defo try medal of honour allied assult its a great game
you might be able to play command and conquer 3 on that but a low spec

Mussels · Feb 6, 2008

Since star wars was mentioned - knights of the old republic 1/2.

Great games, and 1 definately has low requirements.

RED ALERT 2!

Red Faction 1/2

Why CS 1.6 / CZ? You can run CSS on his computer...

i've run far cry on an athlon XP 2400+ with onboard Geforce 4MX graphics. it looked horrible, but it ran fairly well.

Ut2004 might be a stretch, but all the earlier ones whould be fine - 2004 runs on a wet fart by todays standards for sure

http://www.fury-tech.com/en/Reviews/Far-Cry

Nah UT2004 will work perfect @ 800/600 and medium settings. I didn't know that FarCry will run on such low specd systems. I've only played it on Xbox I think.

Because CSS sucks donkey balls. And I bet he won't be able to play train with that system. Dunno why but that level moves too slow.

Freespace 2 if you have a joystick.

snuif09 · Feb 6, 2008

maplestory

(no serious i love that game :eek:

)

descent(good old times)

death rally ( really good old times)
morrowind :rockout:

Knuckle · Feb 6, 2008

Go get Rayman. Yes, number one. The original. It kicks so much ass.

I'm playing it to keep me busy waiting for assassins creed.

mrhuggles · Feb 6, 2008

system shock 2 [one of the greatest games of all time.]

zatblast · Feb 6, 2008

Maybe an internet FPS: Wolfenstein Enemy Territory - still many players even though it is quite old - and it is free

+1

WOLF:ET still has a massive community...at minimum of 10K players online. Plus i played the game on my old rig which used to have a 9600xt, sktA 3000+, 512mb...and i could play it maxed out just fine. And for a older game, it still looks great.

not anymore really, it is playable but there is a massive hit in all but the earliest levels that havnt been updated.

oh good call mate one of the best not the best as its hard to compare differnt genre of games like fps and rts but there are some equal top level FPS like half life and system shock and cod 1 i see as all equal at the top

vampire622003 · Feb 6, 2008

Thank You!

Thanks for all those ideas guys, I got another 512MB so I have 1GB now. I will still take some games into consideration, you can still post some games or recommend some if you want.

I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING BATTLEFIELD 2 @ High Settings 1152x864 2x AA

Ive played on a similar system with an MX440 gfx and it ran everything without lag unless going into more than 10v10 online games.

On my FX5200, it ran the game flawlessly (and the 5200 is a POS

)

Scrizz · Feb 7, 2008

man do I love headshots

3991vhtes · Feb 7, 2008

ToCA Race Driver 3

It will run on 512MB RAM
(It plays on low with a PIII 866, 512MB PC133, and an nvidia mx4000)

Corrosion · Feb 7, 2008

yeah, the first half-life, unreal tournament FOR SURE!!, and crysis.

Frick · Feb 7, 2008

Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2
American McGee's Alice
Something Thief (the second game is awesome

)
Psychonauts
Beyond Good & Evil
Fallout 1 & 2
Jedi Knight
Jedi Outcast
Jedi Academy
Freelancer
Everything Monkey Island (and the rest of the old LucasArts adventures)
The Longest Journey

Just for starters.

EDIT:

Oh, and @ System Shock 2:
It appears it's abandonedware.

Starcraft would run good. Be carful though, you need 32mb for Battlenet.
