As someone who hasn’t been played games for more than 15 years now, this makes me want to play again for the nostalgia; but I dont know where to start. I only have a macbook and an old laptop running linux. Will the remaster work on any of those? Is Steam the best way to install it?

I’d have to see your Linux laptop specs but with proton you can run it with little hassle on steam.

Thanks. It’s a pretty old laptop, but the specs are:

i7-3630QM 2.4-GHz x 4 16 gb RAM Nvidia GK107M [GeForce GT 645M]

I was running Arch but recently switched to Mint because it was getting more unstable as the hardware got older and older. Do you think it will work? I did check out the required specs but I’m quite behind on the latest stuff about CPUs and graphics cards since I mostly run old hardware except for the macbook that I use for work.

Well… I can play other games of that era on the Integrated graphics of business laptops, so I can’t imagine it wouldn’t crush the base game. Unless they did a full remaster with modern graphics anything with discrete graphics shouldn’t take issue. If your laptop is post 2010 there isn’t much to worry about.

That being said I’d hate to steer you wrong and I’m not familiar enough with the older Nvidia chipsets to know for sure. Is the display 720 or 1080p? If it’s 720 I say go for it, as the minimum specs are reasonably comparable and based on 1920x1080.

Thanks! I think it should be at least 720p. I might just go ahead and try it via Steam.
