Red face play the pc game

hi...i am in japan, have windows me, don`t have a playstation and would like to play a game.

i found an english version of madden in tokyo for pc but don`t know much about what to do...could anyone help me before i decide to buy it?

1. it said i need 2gb of space on my computer on the game box....so....do you install games on your computer rather than just plat them as you would on a playstation?

2. it also said i need a video and memory card....really? what are they and how do i use them?

3. genarally..do you think it is worth me getting such a game or would i be better off buying a playstation?

for any help...thanks

Red face Re: play the pc game

hmmm...thanks for that..well...

1. i have 254 ram. windows me, celeron processor, broadband (that isn`t relevant , is it..), a sony vaio...

2. maybe i made a mistake...it specified a "direct x compatible video card" and "direct x 9.06 sound card"...i dunno what these are..

3. we are talking japanese yen but i guess the game alone is about 15-20% the price of ps2 plus game

again..thanks

to download a new version of direct X (9.0c) visit microsoft.com/directx


are you looking to play madden 2005? Im trying to find the entire system requirements for it on the net AND ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!


No website has the system requirements for this game; what is your processor speed? What video card do you have?
