    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.

      Brother, we’re pulling out paper and pencil to play tic tac toe with the price of electricity these days
