In need of recommendation for PC games
 

Well, like the title suggest, I need recommendation for games here.... which can run on low computer specs, mine is as follow

750 MB RAM
1.6Ghz Intel Pentium M 725
64 MB Intel Extreme Graohic Card

Well, preferably RTS or any of the RPG or adventure games... Any ideas??

Pong. Its fun.


In all honesty though, im not quite sure what to recommend to you. Maybe something like Sam and Max: Hit the Road or Day of the Tentacle. What games are you able to run at the moment smoothly and without many issues? Can you run Quake III smoothly? If so that gives us more of a general idea of what your PC is capable of playing.

Jesus, that is one heck of a computer. ;)

Some of the old might and magic games should work on your machine. They are RPG's and quite enjoyable. Might and Magic 8 was my favourite, it improved over 7 and was a lot better than 9. Also, it should be very cheap now.
I think that Empire Earth may be playable on your machine, it's an RTS, and quite fun. Sim City 3000 might be worth a try too.

Try here for some decent strategy games, you should also be able to find some RTS games there as well.

heh nice computer ;)
go here for some fun freeware games www.gamehippo.com

Try GuildWars, it does not use that much memory and it has very low requirements or you could try Gunbound -.- or MAYBE MapleStory if you are really bored...

Get the Fallout Collection. I guarantee you all those games will work for your computer.

Space Rangers 2 is a mix of adventure, RPG and RTS and what else.. I think it would work pretty well with your PC and it's a great game. The RTS section of the game requires a DX9 compatible graphics card but it is not necessary to play the RTS minigames if you don't want/cannot.

edit: oh and it has superb music too

Definitely second on the Space Rangers 2. That game is worth it for the text adventures alone.

Starcraft. Age of Empires 1. Good Luck.

An absolutely amazing adventure/platformer game that would run perfectly on your system is Cave Story. It also has the advantage of being free :).

Starcraft is also gets a massive reccomendation from me :).

I am still having great fun with Heroes of Might and Magic III, so that's what I recommend you.
Short description: It's a turn-based strategy game. You have your town and your heroes, you can build structures, buy creatures, upgrade them, lead them with your heroes against foes. Your heroes can carry artifacts, learn special skills, cast magical spells, visit special adventure map locations and (lol) much more. There are a total of 150 or so creatures to choose from, all having unique characteristics.

Seconded

Agreed.

I also recommend the Homeworld games.

maybe etherlords 2?

Double Post:
Etherlords 2 is a turn-based game and you summon monsters and use spells & stuff.

Seconding Cave Story and Starcraft, they're really good games which I still play today.

Also, there's always the touhou shmups if you're into that sort of thing.

There's always time for NetHack

For rpg's, you might look at games from the time of Arx Fatalis, Wizardry 8, Gothic 1 and Gothic 2.

But yeah, if you don't have the Fallout games yet get the Fallout Collection first, regardless of what your specs are. :D

Forgot about Arx Fatalis, that game was surprisingly fun.

Civilization I/II/III and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. If you've liked one of those games, you'll like the others. If you haven't, then you'll either love or hate. They're strategy games, but turn-based.

You want to good game try Freespace 2. Still awesome space sim even until this day. Also from what I understand the full version can down be downloaded for free. Just not sure where exactly.

Here's some footage.

Actually, your system may actually be able to play Civilization IV, my old computer had lower specs than yours and I was able to play Civ IV. Its a more involving game than the older ones.

Some of the older RPGs still hold up very well for me despite having played through them many times. Fallout 1&2, Arcanum and Planescape: Torment are all wonderful.
As a matter of fact I'm replaying Planescape: Torment at the moment, and it's just fantastic. Stuff like Oblivion may be pretty, but it can't hold up to the depth of the world in these games if you ask me.

I highly recommend them.

I'll second Civilization IV (I had forgotten about it until The Wise Vivi mentioned it.)

As for being able to run it I found the specs for it and,
Looks like you meet the minimum specs, go and get it and have fun.

I second that. Etherlords 2 is an awesome game. I install it now and then because Im having a lot of fun mixing and matching my monsters and cards for the fights. This is pretty much how you want a Magic TG to be on the PC.

Seconded. No game gave me such a rush as did Freespace 2, when you race along a HUGE Spaceship, or if you enter a mission and the first thing in the first second you hear is someone screaming "DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!" and you just BARELY dodged a GIGANTIC Spaceship.

Medieval: Total War.

LIES! Civilization II shall always rule supreme! My fanatics will burn your entire civilization to the ground.

That aside, while I suppose civ 4 would be ok at first, doesn't it get incredibly slow in the later turns? I mean, my computer's fairly decent, but there are still times at which it takes a while to get through each turn, and not because I'm ordering units around.

That's usually solved after my "nuclear blitzkrieg", though. A shame they removed tactical nukes. I loved those things.

Just shrink the map a bit, and a few less players. That's how I played, even with medium graphics on. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

And I never really liked Civ II... it is definitely my least favorite... :( Sorry.

if the PC has specs that can run pong at best, it's time to save for a new PC

Well, in '07, a big game to try would be Jade Empire: SE. It's a port of the highly regarded Xbox title. It's by the same team that is responsible for KOTOR I & II, and the port should be high quality as they have been taking their time and it's listed as a special edition. I know I'm excited for it.

Other than that, you can always check out great games you might have missed. Dungeon Siege is one such title that I keep playing again and again. Day of Defeat or other Source games are great to try. Battle for Middle Earth II is supposed to be an excellent RTS. Just a couple thoughts.

Try the Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War series, you'll love it. Doesn't need a hefty system as well.

Rse of nations

Warhammer is only really worth it if you play Winter Assault, and to play that you need the full Dawn of War game.

If you're gonna play any Warhammer you might as well just pick up Dark Crusade, since it has the best Singleplayer and the most races.

Thanks for posting those links. What does any one have to loose the game can be legally downloaded for free.

As for that Dive, Dive, Dive part. The mission that makes people shit their pants.

Agree.

Unfortunately, be aware in Dark Crusade multiplayer they will restrict you to choosing just the Tau and Necron races, unless you have some of the original games. (DOW to open the four original races, and WA to open up Imperial Guard). So if you like playing it online, you'll probably start pining for the originals to let you play as all the races.

Luckily, DOW/WA is being sold as a "gold" collection now and DC is cheap, so I was able to pick up all three games for the same price as a typical new game.

I second that game.


A lot of strategy games don't require a lot of graphical power.

You should be able to play Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, and Civilization well enough.

Princess Maker 2. Don't let the cutesy title fool you; it's one of the most original and entertaining games you'll ever play.

Starcraft!

looooooool great game! Highly recommended!

I dreamt of Neverwinter Nights 2 a few nights ago. So I think that's a recommendable game.

Here's mine recommendations. (Couple of them already been said)

Ragnarok Online*

Starcraft

Warcraft III/Frozen throne.

Diablo II

Soldat*

Counter-Strike

GunZ*

Gunzbound*

GuildWars


Titles with “*” are required to download.

I'll try not to mention ones already said:

WarCraft 2

C&C Red Alert
C&C Red Alert 2

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

Unreal Tournament

Quake 2 / 3

Half Life - Counterstrike

The Sims

Rollercoaster Tycoon

You can play World of Warcraft as well. :range:

* Intel Pentium® III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz
* 512 MB or more of RAM
* 32 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as NVIDIA® GeForce™ 2 class card or above
* DirectX® 9.0c (included) and latest video drivers
* 6.0 GB available HD space
* 4x CD-ROM drive
* A 56k or better Internet connection

He will lag like shit on major towns. I remember playing it with around same spec as he did, it lagged like bitch.

I was thinking about Ground Control, it's expansion and Ground Control 2: Operation Exodus.

I mean, GC2:OE is pretty good.

Baldur's Gate and BG II .... older games but goodies. You could also play Morrowind no problem.

Ah, thanks to you I jus thought of something. Dungeon Seize... ah that was addictive. (Dungeon Master too)

I just got into Neverwinter Nights 1 (about time eh?). I found the main campaign thingie to be boring as hell, so I was about to uninstall it until I remembered how people used to rave about the player-made modules.

So I downloaded a few that people seemed to like, and I must say that some of them are really well-made. It's also just fun to play something created by the community.

I'm not sure how demanding the game is, but I think you could run it. It's worth it if you download the mods.

The main campaign of NWN is boring.
Get the Hordes of Underdark expansion for true DnD Goodness.
Also, download this and use it: http://nwnprc.netgamers.co.uk/index.html
Dozens of new races, classes and spells

I can list a few good classics.

Wolfenstein 3-d
commander keen (any of them)
warcraft should work
X-Com intercepter
I also suggest the fallout games
might and magic as well. 3 and up might not work but.
civ 1-3, 3 might not work
Duke nukem 1 and 2
doom, it should work
and my personal favorite: Jagged alliance: Deadly games

The original Asheron's Call is apparenlty still going strong. Might be worth checking out.

I hate ragnarok.... i've seriously wasted sooooooooo much time in front of the screen because of that game. It's so much fun but all you do is run around and kill porings for an hour, than grasshoppers, than ants, than cookies, than christmas presents, than O NO!!!! THE URGES!!!!!! AAAAAH!!!!
