47559 2002-05-07 07:33:00 Hi people

I need a good shoot em up type game, need something to blast to release tension.

Wolfenstein and Jedi Knight II require too much grunt, want something that will run on a PC without a super graphics card.

Preferably very low cost, but kosher.

Either first person wander around and blast, or something like space invaders.

Anyone got any suggestions?

47560 2002-05-07 08:09:00 How about Resident Evil (an oldy but a goody) It was originaly made for playstation but there is a pc version available (I have seen It at the warehouse). It doesn't need that much grunt (Minimum requirments are windows 95, 133MHz cpu 32mb ram, and some sort of graphics card) and It's got a pretty good story line too. Guest (0)
47561 2002-05-07 08:45:00 Hi mate, here is my recommendation which can all be played on a system similar to mine - P2-350, 128MB Ram, 16MB TNT Vanta.

Quake/Quake2 - both classics and cheap, playing Q2 at the moment.

Doom2 - shoot to survive, great level design, grab a utility like GL Doom from the web to utilise your graphics card. Still makes me jump out of my seat!!

Jedi Knight:Dark Forces 2: - one of the best FPS made, great Star Wars action.

Theres also Unreal, Half Life

cheers

I really enjoyed playing Red Faction, both clocking it, network, and on the internet

Interesting term. From the days when the score in Space Invaders went to 9999 then started again, because the programmers didn't expect anyone to get that far. Reminiscent of the y2k problem.

Bit like 'versing', meaning to verse, or play against. Entirely a product of Tekken and similar.

I've been playing DX Ball in desperation, not exactly splatter, but does the trick.

47564 2002-05-07 09:50:00 I can very highly recommend Medal of Honour - Allied Assault which is built on the Quake 3 engine. It is a superb WW2 single player game that manages to keep the tension right up there and offers a variety of different missions. The games Omaha Beach mission (from D-Day) is probably the closest any of us could ever get to what those guys went through during those landings. It is a total stunner of a game and the game engine is highly tweakable performance wise. Guest (0)
47565 2002-05-07 10:00:00 Can I run it on a PC without any video ram? Guest (0)
47566 2002-05-07 10:27:00 Hi Robo

Head to Kazzaa or other file sharing place and grab the Duke Nukem, Quake or Doom exe's.

These will run on low spec PC's and network nicely if needed (can turn down the gore factor for kid's eyes on some).

47568 2002-05-07 12:41:00 Robo I did not realise how low specced your machine would be. Your better with Quake 1/Doom as suggested.

I doubt you could run MOHAA without a great deal of difficulty. But when you get yourserlf a decent vidcard you should have a look. I have played lots of shooters and personally this ranks right up there with the very best. The single-player game would be hard to improve IMHO.
