Hi! I have the Privateer 2: Darkening running fine on a (Windows 95) Pentium 200 Mhz MMX, 4Mb graphic card with an analogue joystick. And it's also running on my (Windows 98) 550 Mhz Amd K6-2, 32 Mb Geforce 2 graphic card and USB joystick MS Precision 2. I think your 200Mhz would do fine with Privateer 2. For Privateer1 I don't know. Perhaps Message "Privateer" of 2003-02-04 04:59 has an answer!? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- "Patrick Thompson" <p.h.th...@worldnet.att.net> skrev i meddelandet news:JTV2a.50924$zF6.3430339@bgtnsc04-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > I saw a copy of the Privateer 2 collector's edition at a local used software > shop the other day for $5, and I was wondering how possible it might be to > run Privateer 1 and 2 on modern systems.
