I think you'll live I never finished it until a few years after it came out, but I did manage to play on my Pentium 133, with 80 megs of RAM and a voodoo 2 card. It took some tweaking and didn't look great, but I got it to run pretty drat smooth. People seem to forget just how slow computers were ten years ago.

What happens if you upload the Gray Death schematics to Tracer Tong, but escape VersaLife without destroying the UC?

I installed Deus Ex again, and ran in a few technical issues. Deus Ex does not like DEP, but that's easily fixed with an exclusion. My bigger annoyance is that I can't get the D3D10 renderer working. "Can't initialize Direct3D device" SCREW YOU! For some reason my sound was also distorted the first few times I launched it but it seems to have fixed itself. God knows how.

Most Atom-powered netbooks have Intel integrated graphics chipsets, which are terrible for gaming. It might be playable, but it'll probably be pretty choppy most of the time.

You notice the MIB's third eyes a lot more if you try and knock them out instead of making them explode.

bartkusa posted:Can't you go out the front door? I've never taken the elevator and always opted to use the sewer entrance. Call me crazy but I've never wanted to charge through a horde of spider bots, or even the reception area given that my exit is usually: 1. Drop gas grenade from four floors up. 2. Jump down with the Leg aug. 3. Flip the bird as the elevator closes. Deus Ex is one of the few games where I've really enjoyed causing a huge commotion, dodging ten hapless guards and escaping without firing a shot.

My favorite run through was taking the mods for silent feet, invisible to organics, and invisible to machines, increased melee damage and the dragon's tooth. I just stocked up on batteries for the first half of the game without using any, and then for the last half I just turned those three things on for close to the whole time and went around wailing on people with the sword. Nobody could see me or hear me. As far as they knew people were just being sliced open and/or exploding for no reason whatsoever. It was awesome.

Jetsetlemming posted:Intel integrated chips are terrible for gaming but Deus Ex is so old that it still doesn't matter, especially with how low a res netbooks run at. The last time I played through Deus Ex it was on a PC with an Intel 8 chipset, and most netbooks are on Intel 9 series. As long as the netbook guy doesn't want to play TNM or that one DX mod set in Tokyo with the retarded big maps, he'll be fine. I based my response on my own experience trying to play DX on a Lenovo netbook with a 1.6GHz Atom, 2GB of RAM, a GMA 950, and Windows 7. My framerate generally hovered around 10-15 and rarely went above 20.

AXE COP posted:Didn't someone post a video in the thread earlier that showed an escape vent right above the UC? Can you still not get out that way? That's the first stage of VersaLife, where you get the Dragon's Tooth designs, not the second stage, where you get the Gray Death/Ambrosia designs, and destroy the UC. I seem to remember going in through the door to level 2 from level 1, instead of using the sewer pipe, but it's possible I got the door code off the internet instead of from the game.

I just looked it up, and the code is the same as the one you use to get in the sewer (55655). Check it out: http://sites.google.com/site/darkreality/codes

Have any of you tried going through it using the complete opposite playing style to the one you prefer? I tried playing it as Quake guy once, but it just felt so wrong, so I just reloaded and went through as a stealth character again.

All this talk of Versa-Life reminds me: The second time you go there, if you ignore what the game says and go through the front door instead of taking the secret entrance there's a giant version of those little spider bots guarding the entrance. To the best of my knowledge that's the only time you encounter one in the game.
