Title: Max Payne on a G3 400Mhz?
Post by: Mrious_be on February 07, 2003, 03:26:00 PM

Does anyone has experience playing this game on a similar system?
According to the box it should work, but i can't really imagine that a game like that only needs a 400 G3?
this iMac only has 8Mb VMemory though, while the box said at least 16Mb VRam  
But... Ghost Recons shows a minimum of 450 G3 and 16Mb VRam it it runs (nearly) perfect here, with a little tuning.
I think somehow my 640Mb Ram has something to do with this, that i can run Ghost Recon, but offcourse... that doesn't mean that Max Payne will do the same.
So, before purchasing the game, i thought of asking here.

Congratulations M_B.  

Looks like it might be difficult to run that game.

You could always try it and play it on your next computer.

Thanks Kelly  
Yeah, i don't think it will run  
Been searching the complete net myself and i better don't buy it... sniff.
Otherwise i can stuff it next to the "RTCW" Box which is waiting for a new computer to, hehehe  

Thanks again

This Review says pretty much the same thing.  

Good Review though.

You should be playing Deus Ex anyway.

Yeah M_B. I think it will run on your machine. I played it in Classic Mode.  

There's an OS X Patch available if you decide to try it.
