That depends on you.
For kids on a PII, The Gameboy Advanced Emulator would be a dream come
true. Gameboy Advances games are lots of fun to play, and some of them
such as Final Fantasy Tactics I've found to be truly engrossing, capable
of taking up hours of my time.
The Visual Boy Advanced emulator is the best I've discovered.
Which leaves the question of where to get games to play on it.
You can purchase a Flash Linker and an actual Gameboy Advanced, then use
the Linker to copy the game cartridges which you purchase to a .rom file
on your PC which can be used by the Emulator on whatever computer you
like.
Or...you can download the Roms online, and purchase the game from the
store, thus taking care of copyright issues.
Games from the era of the PII would probably be near impossible to get
nowadays. However you could check Abandonware (google it :) ) websites
that carry older games that can be downloaded for free. Perhaps even
classics such as Kings Quest series, Space Quest series and others might
be available.

Subject: Question to Gamers (Was RE: ROFL! Duke Nukem...)
Low-tech/High Enjoyment games:
I have some less than cetting-edge computers at my place - a couple of
PIIs
and the like.
Can anyone suggest some older networkable games that kid could have lost
of
fun with
without high-end graphics? Are they all too slow by today's standards?
Doesn't have to be search and destroy type games - could be anything.
tanks,
Patrick

Hahahah!
Why can't they just say that they have run out of money to develop the
game, and whenever they do release it, it will not match up to the other
titles on the market. It will probably look like it should have been
released 3 years ago.
A title cannot be 'in development' for this long and still have any sort
of cohesive vision behind it. Are they ripping out the game engine every
year? Is it going to be 5 Gigs of AI and world? No....its a damned First
Person Shooter. I would think that perhaps for a complex simulation from
the ground up 7 years might be acceptable (and then only with delays and
other unforseen issues). Duke Nukem ain't going to come out, and if it
does I think sadly it may be another DaiKatana.
Reading that 3D Realms is funding the development themselves, by now
they must be pretty low on funds. Now *that* could be the reason it's
taking so long assuming people are still working on it.
Probably because they have one or two people working on it ;-)
