theavonlady 2 Posted November 22, 2002 One of my sons is reviving an ultra-cheap and ancient Pentium I 90 (not 900) Mhz notebook, running W95. Anyone know of good free military games/demos for that platform? Any good ancient game download sites to scour? TIA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MesserJockel 0 Posted November 22, 2002 hmm i dont know if there are any realistic games, which were developed at that time... only thing i could suggest is the old id-games, eg doom1&2, quake1 etc. may i ask how old your son is? because all the games which would a) run on that machine and b) come near sth somehow combat-oriented are rated mature... i do know some abandoned games sites, but i am not sure, if this isnt warez in some cases... on one site i found quake 1 on their ftp, and this game. for instance, isnt abandonware. i suggest a quick search for +abandoned +games +download, there is lots of them. i dont think that there is something with this ofp-like realistic approch anyway.

MesserJockel 0 Posted November 22, 2002 just got an idea the company "ssl" developed a lot of round-based (correct? dunno) strategic war games, where you can replay masses of historic battles, primarily ww2 ones. you move your units on hex-fields, graphics arent that great, but i remember us playing for hours. you can battle each other btw, similar to "stratego" or other "hardware2-games. i dont remember the name of this game tho, if i find it, im gonna post it :\ k think the name was "steel panthers", or "panzer general"; the company was ssi, not ssl. hth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Kurtz 0 Posted November 22, 2002 Here is a thread with links to download Steel Panthers:World At War. Link Note that it is a 420mb Download. I will have a look to see if it will run on a  P90 Win 95. *Edit* Ok the game supports Win 95, but I cant find anywhere that says if it will run on a Pentium 90. It is based on the Steel Panthers III engine so I will go and look at the requirements for that. *Edit2* Right, Steel Panthers III would work on a 486 so I think you are all clear for download.

MesserJockel 0 Posted November 22, 2002 erm sorry, but the company seems to support these games after all, so its no abandonware http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,2690/ except for the first part http://search.ebay.com/search....anthers between part 1 and 2 there is hardly a difference, its more like a mission cd or sth like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
