So far I got

Unreal Tournament
Half Life
Diablo II
Quake II
And Serious Sam.

DRACULA: the resurrection
DRACULA II: the last sanctuary
NECRONOMICON: the dawning of darkness

Baldur's Gate (and its expansion, Tales of the Sword Coast), Baldur's Gate 2 (and its expansion, Throne of Bhaal), along with Planescape Torment and the Fallout series and you're set.

With that you could run anything from 2 years ago and back...depending on the RAM which you failed to meniton. Black and White, Warcraft III, Sim Golf probably return to castle wolfenstien.

I doubt Black and White would run on a 600 mhz processor, good luck with that though.

Most minimum requrements for older games is PII233MHz or less, and 64MB RAM or less. Then there's the video card (I'm not too sure on that), and sound card (DirectX compatible, and a lot of games have the version of DirectX necessary on their install disc, this also applies if you choose to use a controller instead of the keyboard/mouse). Then CD speed (if you can't meet the requirement for this, then you shouldn't be playing video games on your PC :lol: ). Most older games I've seen only require a screen resolution of 800x600 16-bit (High Color) or less. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but that's pretty much all the important stuff.

I doubt Black and White would run on a 600 mhz processor, good luck with that though.It ran on my ancient 350MHz Pentium II. It'll work.

Oh, and add Deus Ex to that list.

Get Ultima 7 and 7.5, and run it through Exult (http://exult.sourceforge.net/). You will then be rewarded with dozens of hours of good gameplay.

- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
While the latter is an impossibly brilliant game, the first set is only good if you enjoy having millions upon billions of ways of dying when you make even a small mistake. I don't know about you, but that's not the way I want to play a game. Sure that doesn't happen with Leisure Suit Larry, but they're just crap. I'm sure that Sierra games like that are free to download now though...

Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis was the greatest point and click adventure ever, IMO. Day of the tenticle was great too!
