    1. RUNESCAPE -> can run on any computer. Even a 25 MHZ Pent I with 1 MB RAM !!


    2. Anarchy Online -> then immediatly put all the settings on lowest. AO on lowest settings can run on a 250 mhz Pent II with roughly the same or less RAM you claim you have.



    3. Astonia III -> RS (Runescape) main competition. It might work... their servers are in Germany. It might not work. Free to try.

    I hear LIFE OFFLINE is a good game with Very low almost Zero compuer specs needed and its graphics and game content easilly rivalls any game out there.

    there have never been 25 MHz Pentiums ^^ ... Those were 80/386 IBM machines with 33 or 20 MHz... ^^



    I had a 486 DX/2 66Mhz once... good times ^^

    You could probably play AC, EQ, or UO. DAoC possibly. MapleStory?

    UO probably.  Definetly nothing 3D has the lowest sys reqs, not to mention EQ is bloatware.

    Asian games tend to have low system requirements.  Also, asian games are usually free to play.



    Sites like gpotato, acclaim, and ncsoft have lots of the asian games localized to english.  There are other companies that that translate asian games and distribute them here but I forgot what they were named.



    Or you can just play the older games.  There are a ton of good old games.  Wacraft(I, II, III), Starcraft, Diablo (I, II), Doom (I, II, III), Quake (I, II, III), Mechwarrior (I, II, II), Xcom, Masters of (Magic, Orion), Halflife (I, II, counterstrike), Ultima Online, Asherons Call, Everquest, and the list goes on and on.  Load up that laptop hard drive with all the games you can get your hand on.  Sometimes you are in the mood for differnt stuff.  No need to pick just one game.

    Haha me too. Me and my family have a couple of 286s, 1 386 turbo(16 mhz), and about 3-4 486s(mostly DX/2. They run at 33 mhz)

    I remember the days when having 8mb ram was high end, those where the days!



    I suggest you try Maple Story, or find a way to upgrade your PC and buy higher end games.

    Believe it or not, WoW and LOTRO may work. I've been able to get both working on my POS Intel graphics card in my Dell Lattitude. EQ, UO, and AO all work just fine as well.

    No, just no. I got a 2.4 ghz comp with 768 ram and 256 mb graphics card and i cannot run WOW or LOTRO. There is no way he could run those. His computer will most likely lag playing runescape and the other suggestions aswell.

    You can probably play astonia. www.astonia.com. it only requires 4 mb video ram and 300 mhz processor.

    Wow ran very well for me on a 3 year old machine...P 2.4, 512 ram and a 256 mb radeon 9000 series card. And I didnt do any settings tweaks either.

    Only issue was heavily populated cities, and the game freezing for a sec when a red player appeared on screen.

     

    With some tweaks, i think theres a good chance wow can run fine on the OP machine.

    lol those hardware specs mean absolutly nothing to you don't they. well i cant think of an mmo right now that has not already been mentioned but you could always play StarCraft :)
  • Grimaceat7Grimaceat7 Member Posts: 21
    Dofus will run with those specs, its pretty fun the battle system is turn based strategy. Another choice if your into korean mmo's is ragnarok or any game with similar graphics. In the end you will find your better off upgrading just set a goal and save save save.
  • EichenkatzeEichenkatze Member Posts: 340
    Oh yeah. WoW will definantly run on the OPs computer. The little brother of my best friend's girlfriend (lol) plays WoW on an extremely pad laptop. I think its right around the same range. Laptop.. 450.00USD. Can't run much else other than XP and Word at the same time..



    some how though it runs WoW.



    Now i warn you... its uglier than crap when it runs. ground and sky textures are blotchy and sometimes block patches of just solid color on the ground. Really ugly. Animations get sluggish sometimes in heavy combat.



    But its playable..... if you can stand playing it that way anyways.

    Puzzle Pirates would work I believe.

    I managed to get World of Warcraft running on a 600MHZ Pentium 3 with 320MB of RAM, at 800x600 resolution, it wasn't bad.

    this game need a lot of ram thats it .graphic not really.but it does need 1g of ram to run or you end up loosing a lot.your system should run it might have to lower eye candy but then you dont gain as mutch as gw to get them full so you can put them fairly low.
  • PunkMonkPunkMonk Member Posts: 483

    Any game should work. If it doesn't lower the graphics to minimum.

     

    I'm running on 512 MB ram, a 4800 NVidea Asylum graphics card, and the AMD Processer that came out about 4-5 years ago. So far, I've managed to play LotRO, WoW, EQII, GW, CoH/V, SWG (that one took awhile), DAoC, including many of the lower ends and beta's for games. Sure, every once and awhile I lag, but who doesn't?
