Origin seems to have just pushed the envelope with their game requirements. 
And if you don't have the stuff to play them, you're screwed. 'Course if you 
do, you're in for a GOOD game. The last game I bought from them that ran ok 
was Ultima 7/7.5 and it RULED!!! I got Wing Armada and thought they'd come 
out with enough add-ons to the war between Earth and Kilrah. Although it 
looked REALLY cool at some points (like when the cloaking ship becomes made 
up of boxy polygons, glows, then there's just the wireframe, and then that 
glows and vanished. It looked awesome). Ultima 8 sucked but since Origin 
doesn't come oput with that many games that are overwhelmingly hated tha can 
be let go. Everyone makes mistakes, especially when trying to come out with 
something new and inventive in a game series that basically has the same 
principles all thought them (U1-U8). I bought System Shock, maybe their first 
game to ask for the most from your machine. It ran like crap. It pulled the 
sorriest frame rate out of my computer I've ever seen. It was my first look 
at what a pentium is for. Yet I struggled thourgh half of this tortourous 
game JUST because the gameplay and game engine were SO awesome and the plot 
(while a little cheesey) involved me. Made me feel like a lonewolf trying to 
save the others who are also trapped in this big base. A real DIE HARD-ish 
feel without the midnless violence. After that I gave up ever buying an 
origin game again until I get my machine up to a Pentium, which will be 
awhile. But if I DO upgrade my computer, the first game I'mgoing to install 
will be system shock. And the first game I buy of there's will be Wing 
Commander 3. If anyone wants to write to me and tell me WHY exactly Origin 
sucks. I'd be glad to hear it, because out of the rest of the computer game 
designers Origin at least cleans out alot of their bugs, add GREAT cut-scenes 
 with well-known actors and keep the basic gameplay there. Using this trick 
as more of something to compliment gameplaying, instead of making it feel 
like you're solving some mission or puzzle JUST to see the nifty sfx and 
pictures on your computer screen. Just wanted to give my .002 on a post 
saying that one of my favorite game companies "sucks"
