Talk:Low end computer games

Format is basically

Picture/Title+Year/Genre/Sys Req/Description. Leave your suggestions, I'll add them in bulks.

Neat idea.
I especially like how you post the required specs. That said, you probably wouldn't post emulators, right? On the flip side, would emulation of old DOS and PCs like that be allowed? I always seem to think about Wizardry and stuff like that. I'm not sure about Freeware, but might that also work? --Dejiko 05:56, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

No offense, but I think the idea of listing down low-end computer games is moot.

If anything, this would be THE list that would pretty much encompass everything in the PC list in time. I would rather suggest adding the requirements in the PC games list or let the user judge for themselves based on the year the game was released. Just suggesting though, since I really see no point in keeping this list up. 203.177.91.252 13:08, May 23, 2012 (UTC) please respond, anong

Actually
I think it'd be a good idea to add emulators and their sys req. Freeware is always welcome too.

Edit: Added more games, more to come.ChangosDown 22:18, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

~16bit consoles and down work fine with even crappy pcs, 32/64bit is still questionable and relies heavily on setting and plugins but psx and n64 should run fine on most whereas saturn requires more cpu. anything 128 and above will need a bigass pc. as for handhelds, anything before ds is in the 16bit and before catagory while ds and above is in high end catagory.

Dwarf Fortress?
Are you sure about that? If you manage to survive long enough, DF can be a CPU pig.

~Settings and work arounds~

Are we including these? some games that are high end can work with older pcs using cheats and such, plus what about those games that don't work with certain types of pc?

And what exactly are we using for a basis for low end pc? my pc isn't that good but can run Alice fine but audiosurf, even on lowest setting, chugs alot. simularly Quake 2 works fine but quake 2's update had issues. Halflife 2 is meant to work on any pc but simply crashes on some older/integrated graphics pcs (ditto portal, can load, can play but once portals are used it dies)

Shall we say 1ghz/1gb ram is low end?
