8 MB of RAM

[Icedfate]

it's funny, just how i'm playing Greedfall right now and that needs 8 gigs of RAM and then i see Daggerfall and it needs 8 MB and i'm like. .wow, just thinking about how computer power has jumped 1000x from when this game was out.
I remember when i moved into my apartment on my own in '09 and i had some pos dinosaur computer from a thrift store as my only computer at the time and the only game i had that would run on it was daggerfall. of course, 6 months later, i built a modern rig, bought oblivion and then FO3 on steam and then NV came out and i bought it from gamestop and inside the box was nothing but a steam key and i was like "well crap, why did i need to go to gamestop to buy a steam key when i coulda just bought it through steam" and now all my games are bought on steam.

Sadly, nowadays games demand a lot but deliver very little. Other than graphics that is.

OP is a filthy liar and should be ashamed of themselves.
Back in the day before I got my own PC I played Daggerfall on my moms 486 and that only had 4MB of RAM. Ran fine when I booted the machine while holding shift down and then only activating the soundcard and mouse driver before starting the game.

dude; you're a POS
what about my story is inconsistent?

what, you think computers in 2009 couldn't run daggerfall?
or about the 8MB ram requirement? I got that form the store page.
I don't remember what my old computer was, because as i said, i bought it from a thrift store.

how can you prove that i never boughtt an old computer from a thrift store that was too old to run a modern game and the only game i owned that would run on it is daggerfall?

nowehree in my story did i say that only daggerfall ran on it, just that was the only game i owned that ran on it.

or am i lying about how gamestop was selling "games" that were really empty boxes with just a steam key in them? and that was what made me realize, i may as well just buy them from the source?

everything i said is 100% true, but you can believe what you want. I have no way of proving that it's true and you have no way of proving that it's not true, but since you are the one making the libelous claim so the burden of proof is on you.

prove that computers capable of running daggerfall were not being donated to thrift stores and being resold in 2009.

prove that gamestop was not just selling empty gameboxes with steam keys in them.

oh, you can't?

you are a filthy disgusting person to come in here and call me out like that and ought to be ashamed of YOURself

Come on man, I was making a stupid joke and being a pedantic asshat. Mea culpa.

When I was little my dad had games on 360 kb floppy's.
I now own games over 150GB.
You would need to hire a moving truck to deliver such a game on those floppy disks lol

I think seeing and playing dagger fall just makes me love indie even more and am looking forward to games coming soon. I honestly like games with 3d and 2d elements mixed together.

Agreed.
The 2D / 3D Mix, I think that if done right it makes amazing games!

I would highly recommend you look at computer magazines that are several decades old if you want a great laugh.
