Do You Play On Old Hardware?
Posted by hermitCSep 3
Today I was pondering about the (minimum) requirements for Nordenfelt. It is a pure 2D game without heavy physics calculations or complex artificial intelligence. Therefore it should run smoothly on older hardware as well as on modern PCs. Hardware statistics from Steam and Unity are cool for investigating these details. The problem with these statistics is that they don’t show how old the inspected systems are.
Now I want to know if you have older machines which you still use for gaming. By older I mean systems built before 2005. It would be nice if you could drop me a line including:
- age of the machine
- operating system (only Windows please)
- RAM
- number and speed of CPU cores
- free hard-disk space
- video card type
I’m looking forward to your replies. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Thomas

I don’t recall how old my machine is (not that old I believe) but will comment anyway:
– some years old
– Windows Vista (getting 7)
– 4 gigs ram (upgrading to 8 gigs)
– dual core (3+3 ghz I think)
– 401 gb free
– nvidia some pretty fancy one (one day I’ll learn how to check it ;))

Thanks, guys.
Hope to get some feedback running Nordenfelt on those machines.
