system requirements

[Secret Agent]

What are the system requirements for SP? (I just bought a computer for $10 with Win95, so I can play SP! But...it is Stone Age. :laugh: )

If the computer can run Win 95, it should be capable of running Steel Panthers.

Actually, it might run Steel Panthers easier than a new computer :)

As the games (Steel Panthers and it's many variants) are free, why worry, download them and give them a try hehe.

Well, I'm worried b/c the rest of the computer is 'stone age' (e.g. the processor may be like 100 Hz :halo: ).

With SPWAW being so large (1GB more or less) a 100Hz machine might be a little slow just shorten the message delays and play with it a little and they should work OK.

Is SPMBT smaller than SPWAW? Becuase I am mainly interested in SPMCT. Something else: If I installed Windows 95 on my good computer (and erased it from the old one), would SPMBT run OK?

A lot smaller, about 240mb. If I understand, you would have to have a seperate dos version installed on the old comp. I think dos was a part of win 95 by then. But then if that's so, yeah; I use to run the games thru dos only. It somewhat of a pain to set up, sound etc. but it will work.

Sounds good. Thanks everyone!

Fully installed, SPMBT is like about 1/10th the size of the full install of SPWaW when you add the 4 Mega Campaigns.

It's the massive sound folder with SPWaW to some extent. I think the snd folder is over 400 megs all on it's own.

Both SPWW2 and SPMBT are considerably smaller files set up. Same great game, much less data to store though.
