Recommend me some games that can run on my T42
Hi
I'm not very familiar with computer games and need some recommendations. I've only got Call of Duty 2 now and it's great. Anything similar, or else action-adventure related? Thanks.

Sure, but nothing too mentally-intensive please.

Re: Recommend me some games that can run on my T42
Well, then I guess the civilization series are not of interest here. I don´t consider Age of Empire and Heroes III as mentally-intensive, but I´m afraid that´s rather because I have played too much of them
In such a case I can only think of StartCraft and WarCraft II, III (III may not run so great on your machine, but with lower settings it shouldb´t be a problem though). I´m pretty sure there are many many more you can run, I just have to start remembering all that stuff again...

Hit 'em old school with some Halo:CE. I played that on my T43 just fine (not the most resource intensive game), and I bet your T42 has the same specs.

I would check out some emulators like Mame or maybe some consol emulators. I played Sonic the Heghog quite a bit on my T41. Or else I would go to Gamestop and look at used PC games that were put out the same time as your T42 or earlier.

Every now and then I throw in some Roller Coaster Tycoon. I always ending wondering where the last four hours went though... Addictive
Cell phones are my specialty. Got questions? Ask away.

I've been playing RCT3 a lot lately and man is it fun!
I have no idea where last saturday went, but I built a 9.4, 9.3, 5.2 coaster. (Excitement, intensity and nausea factors).
It was at 16 for the intensity until I removed the 325 foot drop into an underground loop followed by a reverse corkscrew, a large upper helix back to the surface and a height increasing barrel roll. And that was all in the first 20% of the ride. I tend to build coasters that I want to ride.
Fast, hard, and long.
I hate intense coasters that last 2 minutes when I waited in line an hour. fI want it to last 7 minutes or more.

Re: Recommend me some games that can run on my T42
I love the ones you build where the intensity is highlighted in red. I played a scenario once where my guests wouldn't ride anything with intensity under a 9, so all my coasters had to be hand built. It was fun building coasters with no regard to G forces for once.Temetka wrote:I've been playing RCT3 a lot lately and man is it fun!

Maybe Half-Life 2, it's a great game.

Re: Recommend me some games that can run on my T42
Why not play something that's exclusively for a laptop with an accelerometer?

Although this is might be best to use is you have a ssd instead of a mechanical drive
