Multiplayer Shooters For Modems And Slow PCs?

Posted by simoniker on from the catchy-logon-noise dept.

rekrutacja writes "Soldat is a multiplayer action game which takes the best from games like Liero, Worms, Quake and Counter-Strike, and gives you fast action gameplay with lots of gibs and gore. It only requires a modem and a PC with a 333mhz processor, since it was written to meet the reality of the Polish Internet, still dependent on modem connections and cheap computers." For those countries and locations where you can't get broadband, and PCs just aren't that swift, what other action-based shooters are still reasonably playable?

    Duke Nukem 3D! Ahh the joys of playing this game on a 486 back in the day. Tons of fun, and trite system requirements.

    Maybe SOMEDAY we'll have that fabled follow-up game. Maybe.
