OK here I go again. Good game quiz!! Whats good with my G400 max??

[ccoltas]

Just curious what games are good with my G400 max? I have a K7M with 512 MB SDRAM and a 900 mhz T-bird Slot-A. I don't play a huge number of games, but I'd like to see whats decent to play, given that the G400 is older and not the fastest card. Looking for all kinds of games, but mainly 3D first person adventure shootem ups.

I've played all the following very successfully:

UT
Ghost Recon
Age of Kings
Asheron's Call
Empire Earth
Everquest
Nascar 4

For 3d Shooters I can play successfully :

Half-Life & all official mods (havent tried CS)

Unreal Tournament (although I think the Unreal Fortress mod slows down a bit.)

Red Faction

I really enjoyed Clive Barker's Undying......
great gameplay, good story, lots of fun.
Also, as this FPS has been out for a bit and
I've seen it for as low as $19.99 Canadian.

on a G450 - Black & White plays just fine.

But at the moment what is really taking up some time and bringing back LOTS of memories is... a reverse-engineered version of the original BBC Elite, called Elite: The New Kind.

well, all the quakes and unreals play nice. If you are asking for insane framerates, both jedi knight and forsaken qualify.
i know these are old, but especially jedi knight is worth playing, it is a classic.

hmm! just renembered glquake sucks on a matrox card, last time i tried it, don´t know if they have fixed it though.

Counter-Strike works good at 1024*768*32

Thinking about older games, I would recommend Dungeon Keeper II. It runs fine on a G400, the graphics still look very nice (even bump mapped water) and you can pick it up for under $10 (US).

It's not a first person shooter, but more of a real time strategy game. But it combines stategy with first person fighting -- it's really quite fun. (Made by the same guy that made Black & White and Populous).
