good games with low requirements

All the Thief games.

Max Payne

COD 1+2 (not sure if you can play the 4th game).

Half-Life 2 (Vanilla).

yah ok ill try the thief games. i might invest in a 8800 gt but im not to sure yetag3ntz3rox0x

Excellent: Start with Thief: Gold. Thats the first game (the dark project) but with three extra missions.

The Orange box, only 1.7ghz processor,speed and .5mb ram min req, thatll keep you occupied for a well long time, also counter strike, and the battlefield series

Dawn of War + expansions. They're excellent, very current (unlike the old-timers listed in the posts above), and the graphics look pretty OK yet not demanding.F1_2004

im in love with rts games,. but i downloaded the demo of the dawn of war and i couldnt run it on high. will it nullify my experiance do you think?

Episode 2 is a lot more demanding than vanilla HL2 and EP1 - particularly the forest stage.

But Portal isn't that demanding, and it's one of those games that I'd reccomend to anyone. Short, but sweet. And hilarious.

good RTS games with low requirements include age of mythology, age of empires II, warcraft III, and rise of nations (maybe the highest req's of the four). other great non-RTS games include the no one lives forever series, KotoR, half-life (the original), deus ex, and mafia.

The rest

Sim City 2000

Alpha Centauri

Grand Theft Auto 1,2, 3 and Vice City

Worms Armageddon (if you have a friend to play with)

Max Payne

Only Vice City, Dawn of War and Sam and Max season 1 are more recent than 2003, so you should be able to run just about everything here quite comfortably - and many of these games are amongst the greatest games of all time.

Im really surprised nobody mentioned Starcraft. Although its really old its still a blast to play, just go ask the koreans. Warcraft would be nice as theres so much custom maps you can play like dota and footmen. Theres also:

Call of Duty 1-3

Maybe halo

Fear 1

Half Life 2-ep 1

Counterstrike Source or 1.6

The sims even though i dont like it

Age of Empires 1-2 maybe 3 if you're lucky

kotor 1 & 2

the path

doom 3

you might be able to run:

mercenaries 2

f.e.a.r.

your actually not in that bad of a spot its your cpu thats the issue

for mercs 2 you need a 2.2Ghz cpu or better so you could do it with a little slowdown

and f.e.a.r. is 2.3 i believe

i forgot a few:

diablo 2

mercenaries 1

medival 2: total war

empire earth 3

gta3

need for speed: hot pursuit 1 & 2

need for speed: most wanted

RTS: definitely Rise of Nations. Age of Empires II or III is also nice, I even liked those better than Age of Mythology.

TBS: Alpha Centauri; Galactic Civilizations II if you're into that kind of game (i.e. the setting is in space); Armageddon Empires for something quite different

FPS: Unreal Tournament, perhaps UT 2004 if you meet the system requirements

If you're in doubt, Gamespot and/or the developer's site typically list the minimum requirements. I use this all the time, seeing that I play on a laptop with integrated video card :p

Torchlight runs wonders on extremely old PCs and it's system requirements are ridiculously low.
