I'd like to personally piss on the retarded-moron who filled these min/prefered spec's!!!:evil:

Guess it's time to upgrade('cause I'm not going to let this game slip from my grasp :lol:

 

Well, the minimum specs in the readme aren't a rock-bottom minimum. You should be able to get it to work on your system, as others have gotten it to run on similar configurations. It won't run very fast though. You'll probably need to run in safe mode, too.

 

Happy days,happy days.I was about to uninstall 'bout an hour or so of surf'n and decieded to give the game game one more try..and it works!:grin: .
Opening cinematics are the best I've seen in a while.Even though scrolling and some fighting are choppy as hell,I don't care..'cause it works.I take back "most"of what I've said earlier(if they posted the "prefered" minium specs,I may not of downloaded it:wink: .
By the time the full-version comes out,I'll have my upgrades :lol:
