Only has a X1300 Pro graphics card though so I'm not going to be able to play any really recent games I don't think.

Assuming we aren't just talking about Steam, Starcraft if you somehow haven't played it yet. SC1 should run on anything with how old it is, and II (Wings of Liberty) is very scalable, as most Blizzard games are.

SC1 looks like $15 for the downloadable on Blizzard's site, and includes its expansion Brood War. SCII is a bit pricier at $40, being by far the more recent game.

That might be able to run FTL.

I've got it, and runs pretty well for me, everything's at the "Optimal" level. My machine's not a beast, but i've learned that it can do all the current stuff at ok levels.


My PC specs here:

Intel core i7-860
8GB DDR3 Memory
ATI Radeon HD 5770

It's a couple years old, but beats out the Recommended Specs I read online:

DirectX11 graphics card with 1024MB Video RAM
Quad core CPU
4GB Memory

Starcraft is actually one of the few games I played back in the day on PC. It was a lot of fun, but honestly I preferred Age of Empires II and Red Alert over it.

Will check into it since I hadn't heard of it.


Are there any games similar to like Fable or Skyrim that would work on an older PC like mine? I know I'm obviously not going to play those, just similar games would be fun.
