Rumble Box

I found this game over at the Independent Games Festival page, where it's up for the Innovation in Game Design award. It's a cartoonish fighter where the object is to pile up enough shattered enemies to escape the arena. It's a small download (~11 MB), it's dangerously fun, and it's free. Check it out.

A 1-GHz processor and five-year-old video card is too high for you?

not that hard to believe.
up til 2 months ago It would have been too much for my system.

I've since upgraded. :P

well my personal PC's motherboard just shat itself a few days ago. it was a 900mhz Duron with a GF2MX videocard. bought it in... um.... probabaly 2000 or so.

i'm currently typing this from a 500mhz laptop.

the only other pc around is using it's integrated nforce2 video. which frankly is not that much better than my gf2mx.

it is pretty amazing that a tech demo that looks as retro as this would need a GF3! i don't believe it. i've run quite large physics simulations on my 900mhz duron (when it worked) and they ran just fine as long as the physics engine was written well (ie: objects had an "at rest" feature).
