We have versions that run on Amiga, N64 and NDS - so pretty weak stuff [19:30] and games like Ultima don't exactly suffer much from performance issues [19:31] most likely if your old PC can run Windows XP decently, it can run most 2D games in ScummVM decently too [19:32] (we also have builds for 95, but I don't think anyone benchmarked us on a 486 with windows 95) [19:33] Harekiet (harekiet@kittens.harekiet.com) left irc: Ping timeout: 260 seconds [19:36] It would be on a PC.
