2.1  Minimum Requirements for PC's / Game Info

    Computer games are requiring more and more from the hardware as the
    years go by.  Whereas a 486dx2-66 could handle anything the gaming
    world could throw at it a few years back, today it sadly is barely
    able to shine the electronic shoes of a brand new P266 with a
    voodoo2 or agp graphic cards.  Please be aware that the games you
    buy might be beyond the ability of your computer to play them, so
    always check the minimum requirements first before handing over the
    dosh.  If you're not sure then look at the absolute minimum and
    remember that anything higher is generally better.

    The stats for the Gold edition add-on levels are the same as for the
    original game.

    All the games support most major brands of soundcards, graphics
    cards and game controllers/joysticks.  TR3 supports any card that is
    100% DirectX compatible.

    [1] Pentium 133 w/ 3D accelerator card and Pentium 166 w/o 3D
    accelerator card.  Same thing with TRLR - the higher speed is needed
    without the accelerator. [2] We think these are a bit high for the
    PC req.  A number of us had the game running comfortably on a P166
    with a 3D graphics accelerator.  The only reason for having them
    this high is the bink-encrypted FMVs -- slower spec computers will
    have problems playing them. Ivans Chou has done a little more
    research and he's come to the conclusion that you really need a PII
    minimum to play the bink encrypted videos at anywhere near normal
    playback speed/quality anyway.  A Pentium I is nowhere near fast
    enough.
