    can anyone think of some games i could play over a lan with a P1 233mmx and 96Mb ram. Whopping 2mb Vram!

    running GTA at the mo, can you think of any other old games that might do the job?

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,010 ✭✭✭Dr_Teeth


    Stick a pair of voodoo2s in that and you can play Quake, Quake 2, Tribes, Half-Life, Starcraft, Total Annihilation etc *trys to think of other games we played at lan partys back in '98*

    Shadow Warrior (Duke3D pedigree)
    Old flightsims
    Worms
    Mechwarrior 2, MW2:Mercs and maybe (if you can blag V2 or V1) Mechwarrior 3.

    Mario Cart emulated over the lan.

    Doom would be cool, im on 2k on both machines though :(

    iv had probs with quake I on 2k, is there a patch?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    use jdoom if your using win2k. the best win32 port of the doom engine.

    use winquake or glquake and there should be no trouble.

    Heritic 2 would work nice on it!
    If you get a voodoo 2 for it you may even get away with UT!

    bomberman,
    gltron,
    TA,
    quake1 "catch the chicken"
    micro machines
    midtown madness

    freespace missions are cool co-op

    Duke3d rules, what with the time detonated pipe bombs. Also Descent is great if a little hard to get used to (360 degree movement).

    Failing that Glminesweeper is a lot of fun.

    blood can be a good laugh (that was back in the day before i discovered wasd & mouse aiming tho)

    it might run soldat, quake is pretty essential, mech commander, atomic bomberman, aoe2, total annihilation (i've been playing a few skirmish's in that recently:) )...
    that's all i can think of now.
    can't remember if the multiplayer in carmageddon was any good, i have a vauge memory of it being pretty dissapointing

    Doom Legacy is the best. :D

    so is there a util or patch to run duke nukem under 2k?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,489 ✭✭✭Clintons Cat


    Peoples General.
    Deadlock 2
    speed ball 2
    Close combat 3

    should all play on that system specs and are windows 95/98 compatible.

    There was also a prequal to laser squad nemisis called X-com email which came bundled with the first 4 x-com games which had a lan option


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,489 ✭✭✭Clintons Cat


    looking at those specs again i got a feeling you should be able to play Delta Force Age of Empires and Alpha Centuri.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭Funky


    i heartily endorse starcraft


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,307 ✭✭✭richindub2


    go for panzer general two instead of peoples general if at all possible :)
