System requirements

Windows
Minimum
Operating system (OS) 98
Processor (CPU) Pentium II 300MHz
System memory (RAM) 32MB
Hard disk drive (HDD) 560MB
Video card (GPU) 16MB AGP 3D video card
Requires Direct X compatible sound card and 8x CD-ROM drive.
Dynamic lighting only works on cards with T&L support ( at least GeForce and Radeon) even though the option is available on all cards.
Even though the game says a 16MB AGP card is required some lower spec cards do work, The Matrox G200 and ATi Rage pro cards (8MB AGP) seem to run the game OK. The game will not load on Savage IV cards, this is a driver problem with the card.


Notes

  1. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
