BTW, this thing doesn't require a joystick, does it?

I have a 466 celeron with a plenty of RAM and a voodoo 3 16mb, does anyone know if the game will run on my system ?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">We have a beta tester running it on a 333 Mhz PII with 128 MB if I recall correctly. It's been a while since we discussed our system specs. He was only getting 10 fps as I recall. If you call that playable I guess it's ok. I'm getting 20-24 fps on an 800 Mhz Duron with 512 MB. I think it's preferable to have at least a 1 Ghz CPU myself. Not very expensive these days. (In fact, I just purchased a 1.33 Ghz Athlon XP to upgrade my current system... $43!)

Re: Estimated System Reqs?
 

where'd you find it for 43$?

Re: Estimated System Reqs?
 

www.pricewatch.com

Edit: Heh! So now I go look again and you can get one for $2 less! Ah well, you have to buy some time or other.

Re: Estimated System Reqs?
 

isn't buying like that somewhat chancy?

Re: Estimated System Reqs?
 

How is it any more chancy than any other form of 'distance' buying, like mail order?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've been buying computers and parts almost exclusively from www.pricewatch.com for about 5 years. I only had one problem with a vendor, and it was kind of my own fault. I bought a processor which only had a 30 day warranty, waited 2 months to put the thing in the M/B and it didn't work. I have had to return parts (that were IN warranty) and never had a problem.

If your not a "computer person" you might have better success with a local computer company, but if you know what you want, pricewatch is the way to go, imho.
