Hi, I am in high school and I am doing a very serious research on E-sports. The grade I get is very important so I take this very seriously. 

 

Next friday I have 60 minutes of computer class where I will be organizing an event / tournament between 2 teams of 5 teachers and what I need is games that can run on school PCs (dual core pentiums, 4 gigs of ram, nothing too fancy). They need to be easy because I will have little to no introdouction for the games. 

 

Here is what I have thought about:

  1. Haxball (browser game)
  2. Counter-Strike 1.6
  3. Quake Live

Please, help me find games that I can install on school PCs. I want to have a best of 3 games. Any opinions welcome.

Team Fortress 1, Doom, DoTA, Starcraft 1

Dota 1 (warcraft 3 game map) Though it might be hard to learn it from scratch.

CoD 2?

Unreal tournament

 

 

That's a freaking awesome school, i wish i had to do that research, lol.

 

Btw, e-sports are competetive games, you might wanna try dota1 or LoL, cuz that's a massive esport.

 

 

Also, it's hard to find old games that aren't mmorpg's but are online in LAN.

Counter-strike :)

 

A few guys from the IT department at my fathers work years ago connected their PC's in a Lan network and played CS 1.6... Until they were found out and had their pays deducted....

I will think about TF1. Dota and SC1 is too complex imo. Never thought about Figher games. Maybe there is another type of figher game with a different art style?

 

Supraball?

Checked out the trailer. Are you sure it will run fine on office PC?

Serious sam: The first encounter

Halo Combat evolved

Flatout 2 (i think it had LAN option)

 

 

I think, as i said before, Unreal Tournament it's a MUST.

You can try running emulators for older systems if you want to do 2D fighters...

Generally fighting games turn to button mashers in front of people with little understanding of them. If Dota is too complex to put in front of someone with very little understanding, I wouldn't attempt fighters.

 

Quake 3: Arena gave us endless enjoyment on shitty school computers. There's also Unreal Tournament: GOTY, and Painkiller

When I did IT training back in highschool we had Pentium 4 machines and a few core 2 duos.  

 

We played SC1 all the time, and that worked.  But CS GO Will not work; we could barely get 10fps in minecraft on a P4 machine w/o a gfx card.
