List of low-end games

This page is a candidate for deletion. If you disagree with its status, please open a discussion. Reason: (Dandelion Sprout:) The list is too short to be meaningful, and the criteria no longer make much sense (It is for instance not clear if "GeForce 6" means 6000 or 600 series). Adding minimum specs to Cargo Drilldown would help make better and automated lists.

For information on gaming on lower end systems, see this page.

The following is a list of games suitable for play on lower specification computers such as older desktop computers, laptops and netbooks. A game is considered for the list if the minimum system requirements permit a single-core or low-powered dual-core processor (e.g. Intel Pentium architecture) and at maximum a GeForce 6-series [or AMD equivalent X-series] GPU. Note that only native game versions for Windows, OS X and Linux are noted in this table, and some games incompatible with modern operating systems will be excluded.
