Bear in mind however, that Unreal also had the best software renderer that could handle most of the visual effects on even something as simple as a 200 MHz Pentium w/ no 3d accelerator. I myself ran the game smoothly in 320x240 on such a system (and could run 400x300 if I didn't mind the slowdowns)
