What are they? I do not understand this term - Games. I do know what you mean about using an older machine though, I have a P2 350Mhz (maybe 450mhz) with only 128mb ram in a small Slimline Compaq :) It ran FAMP, FTP, SSH and X pretty well and kept up with the (small amount) of requests. Only reason it has been 'decommissioned' is the hard drive failed during a house move where the PC must have got chucked around, it had the only copy left of my CMS (another hard drive had failed in my other PC that held the 'backup' of my website/CMS) and since then could not be bothered to rebuild my website/CMS as it had taken an age to get it to a decent state with plenty functionality. I too was impressed with the little 'beasts' performance, friends who used the FTP & SSH services thought it was a newer machine because it was quite nippy :) Back on topic then... Never tried these games you've talk about, although I do remember playing text based games 'back in the day' :) Cheers, Jayton
