    There are thousands of amazing older games that run on old hardware. Forget AAA and wade into your backlog or pull out some classic from gog or a yard sale.

    Don’t chase the high end, relax and start a game of CIV 4 or Anno 1404

      In the past 2 weeks, I’ve played Tie Fighter and Dune 2. Glad I had over the minimum 640 KB of RAM for Dune - it’s pricey these days but worth it for a smoother experience!

        Dune 2 was my favorite game as a kid. I tried to play it again couple of years ago and couldn’t. The UI is so clunky and the graphics are pretty bad.

      Bought the Shadowrun trilogy for $10 bucks on GoG. That’s gonna be my next adventure.

      New shit can blow me.

        Enjoy. The first is a bit clunky but good lore points - the second is where it really takes off

      You mean civ V. Hexagons are the bestagons!

      Technically very much a AAA game though, four was the first one published by Take Two and after it came out they bought Firaxis
