I have a HP Compaq dx2200, My specifications are:
Intel Pentium 4 651 (3.4Ghz)
NVIDIA GeForce 7300/7200 GS
2GB DDR2 RAM
103GB of free space
Windows 7 Home Premium

and i have gone on sytem requirements labs to find games that will run on it, numerous times , it is NVIDIA but it was made in 2005 - 2006 so i cant even run Euro truck simulator 2, Need for speed ,and any other 'high end' games made after that time.

Does anyone know any games that will run seamlessly on my specification?
(racing games, non violent fps games, adventure, action games)
(Sorry if i posted in wrong place and thanks in advance) :|
 
That's a really old system - I'd recommend checking out gog.com, they sell a lot of older/classic games. At least some of those should run OK.
 
1. DarkSector
2. Hitman 2
3. Up till Fifa 2007
4. Desert Storm series
5. IGI series
6. Need For Speed Most Wanted
7. Devil May Cry
8. Shadows Ops Red Mercury
9. ...

I will let you know more as I can recall.
 
The GeForce 7300 series was considered to be a low end GPU even when it was new. The CPU was good for its time but is horribly outclassed today, even by most current smartphones.

GoG.com is probably your best bet. They've repackaged a lot of classic PC games to run on modern operating systems. You'll be able to play things from the 90s up until the mid-2000s. Later games on low quality. They've got a lot of great titles.

Might be time to start saving some pennies though for something more modern.
 
As others have mentioned classic games that aged well are the way to go. Starcraft and Broodwar would be at the top of my list. Warcraft 3 and all of its custom maps would probably be fine as well.
 
Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy
Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
Age of Empires 2
Emulated N64 titles (Star Fox, Mario, Smash Bros., etc)

Given your specification about nonviolent games, N64 games are the way to go; the Jedi Knight games are about as violent as the PG-rated Star Wars movies. Morrowind doesn't have much violence, but there may be some mature themes of various sort.
 
Faster Than Light
Hotline Miami
Shovel Knight
Don't Starve
etc ... go indie, there's tons of good titles that run on potato PCs like yours.




srsly .. W7 on 2gb or ram .. come on man.
 
I think both KOTOR games would be ok. Both were great games, although the second game was rushed and had a weak ending. Pretty much any game from maybe 2007 or earlier should run ok. If you like shooters, the Half Life series, Fear, or the early COD games. For RTS, Rise of Nations, age of empires.
 
I want to add xcom, the original not the remake. Awesome game, the remake is great too but I doubt you'll be able to run it.
Start saving a few bucks for a new machine. Cheapest desktop on the market would be a huge upgrade in power.
 
Mostly games from pre-2006 era:
Thief 3
Master of Orion 2
Prince of Persia - Two Thrones
Heroes of Might & Magic 1-4
TES 3 - Morrowind
Stronghold Crusader

Below might run a little slow but still 'do-able':
Heroes of Might & Magic 5
TES 4 - Oblivion

All great games.
 
Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ)
Limbo

Very different games but both very fun, very low on PC requirements. See Steam for details.
