OCNewbie Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Another vote for Quake 2. 9 year old game still loads of fun to play. Fast paced and lots of trick jumps etc. you can learn to do. Doesn't take much of a system at all to run. Need to have some sort of 3D Acceleration though, equal to GeForce1+ I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anospa Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Age of Empires, pretty sure its an RTS. I bet if you could get joysticks, some flight sim fighter games would be pretty fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFlow Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Are most of these guys posting even READING the opening post? The games suggested must not require a high-end machine to play! I've played a few LANs in the past with some of the folks only having minimal processing power in their machines. We'd play old school HL1 mods such as Counterstrike (of course), Team Fortress Classic, Firearms, Sven Co-op, and also Natural Selection would be a great HL1 mod for LANs. You play starcraft too so obviously RTS games aren't out of the question. My personal favourite, for single-player and multi-player alike, is Total Annihilation. It was released way back in '96 or '97, has very minimal system requirements to play, and is still considered by many (including me) the best RTS game ever made. Its not the prettiest RTS to date, but it was one of the first 3D RTS games (although the 'camera' is not adjustible, it is locked in on a top-down view). It certainly doesn't look bad, even by today's standards. My best friend and I have been playing it quite frequently with each other over the internet (you have to use the built-in 'TCP/IP DirectPlay' funtion and connect to the host's IP directly). It has two official expansion packs, Core Contingency which adds extra units and maps, and Battle Tactics which is mainly a single-player expansion, adding new missions. The best addition to this game is the user-created TAUCP (Total Annihilation Unit Compilation Pack), it adds over 230 third-party units, options for much more advanced AI opponents, and more whilst still maintaining a great balance in gameplay. With TAUCP added this game can bring even my system to its knees (Opteron 146 @ 2.87GHz), I even installed a 5000 unit limit patch (default unit limit is 200, or 250 with Core Contingency installed). TAUCP can be found here: http://www.planetannihilation.com/TAUCP/ This game is so much fun when playing with friends against TAUCP's Banzai AI, or even just against each other as a deathmatch. Try it out, see for yourself. Oh, one last thing. This game was developed by Cavedog Studios by Chris Taylor and his team. A sequel is in the making (finally) by Chris Taylor and his team, but cannot use the name Total Annihilation (long story), but instead will be called Supreme Commander.

ilikeducttape Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 ET is enemy territory, the free add on for return to castle wolfenstein. i like it, its a lot of fun. not as good as bf2 though, but still fun. AOE is age of empires, a real time strategy game. another good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
