I have a ME computer and I would like to find some games to play on it. If anyone out there can help me, I would appreciate it very much.

Will Syberia 1 work on this computer, because I have it on my game shelf?

Syberia 1 should work fine on a ME computer.

Used to play some games on my sister's computer, and she had ME.

I think almost anything released the last several years should work on ME, except for the really recently released stuff.

I've played Syberia 1 & 2, Scratches, Still Life, Barrow Hill, and Journey to the Center of the Earth all on a PC with ME.

I also played And Then There were None and Murder on the Orient Express with no problems


You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to.

I installed Syberia and when I started to play, the computer said-no 3d accelerator. I have onboard video.

I have a Windows ME computer from 2001, and I am SO glad that I have it. It runs a lot of the older Windows games that just don't get along with Windows XP (including Amber and Noir!). And just recently I tested out DOSBox on it, and it does a great job with that, as well!

If you have onboard video, you might have some problems with some games from the last few years. I put a Radeon 9800 Pro card in my Windows ME, and it can handle pretty much anything now, newer games as well as older ones from 1995 to 2000. wave thumbsup

Grandpa, you might try putting your 3D accelerator problem in a post in the "Glitches, Bugs, & Patches" forum. it's for technical questions, and you'll probably get an answer there.

Good Luck!

One game (science fiction if you like, that will play very well on ME), is 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. (Nothing to do with Pink Floyd). I had been hunting for this game and got it in a trade a while ago. I had tried to play it on my Win 98. No go. Got an XP, same no go. Something made me try it on my ME, sitting all alone in the familyroom like now. The game installed perfectly, and I've replayed it 3 times with NO problems. It's an involved game (if you can find it) with FMV and lots of locations and VERY GOOD storytelling. It's about a guy who is called to a planet to find out about his uncle who left him an inheritance and a mystery...I'll let you find out the rest. Good luck if this is your fancy. If so, please write back! Loved both Syberias but never tried them on that PC. Sorry. Could give 'em a go if you'd like.
