Oblivion ran and looked great and I was happy as a mudcrab in mud until I made the unfortunate decision to go to my friend’s house where he had it on his Xbox 360 and hooked up to his TV. Here are our answers, plus some from our forum.Ĭhristopher Livingston, Features Producer: Does buying a whole new PC count? When I started playing The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, it was on a PC that was already several years old in 2006. What’s the greatest length you’ve gone to just to run a game? Heck, maybe you rebuilt a 1998 PC just to play Half-Life (opens in new tab), or built a tiny PC for playing classic console games (opens in new tab). Maybe you’ve used a VPN to play an online game that’s not available in your territory, or had to revert to a previous that was compatible with your setup.

That doesn’t mean it’s always easy to get games running nowadays, whether because your hardware is south of the minimum requirements, or you want to play an older game that’ll only run in a virtual machine or emulator.

Thank Gordon we’re past the days of needing boot disks and understanding conventional memory and how to free up more of it just to play games on PC.
