I just looked at rollercoastertycoon2.com and under the requirements it says at http://www.rollercoastertycoon2.com/info.asp: ---- System Requirements: Operating System: WindowsR 98/Me/2000/XP Processor: PentiumR II 300 MHz or equivalent Memory: 64 MB RAM (128 MB recommended) Hard Disk Space: 120 MB free (200 MB recommended) CD-ROM Drive: 4X or higher (8X Recommended) Video: WindowsR 98/Me/2000/XP-compatible video card* Sound: WindowsR 98/Me/2000/XP-compatible sound card* DirectXR: DirectXR version 8.1 (included) or higher * Indicates device should be compatible with DirectXR version 8.1 (included) or higher. ---- That doesn't sound like too heavy of a requirment - I have 486 machines that have DirectX 8.1 capable video cards. I also didn't know Atari was still in business. What have they been making over that last 10 or more years? > -----Original Message----- > From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Vernon > Balbert > Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 12:14 PM > To: Computer Shop Talk > Subject: [CTS] Release note typo > > > From the release notes of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2: > > RollerCoaster Tycoon2 must be played on a video card capable of 640x480 > screen resolution at a bit depth setting of 256 bits. > > Do you know of any card that has that kind of color depth?
