... I got a copy of this game from a German PC Magazine (PC Joke). At this time, I just had a 386 with 120 MHz with 32MB of ram ish (don't remember exactly) and Windows 98se running on it. It also got a Voodoo 2 3D supporter Card. And Septerra Core worked. Well, I had to switch off cinematics and do something to the sound settings with some start up parameters for the game and resting in a Tent (a way to restore health for free in game) took at least 15 Minutes ( I always bought a lot of bread though), but beside that it worked just fine. So I wonder why the requirement now is so high, but ok. The game has a wonderful loverly developed background story plot. The game and storyline really lives from this well made background story. And it was fun playing (consider the loading issues on such a slow PC, you would not take this if the game is not worth it). What else should I write, what other people didn't. May be one hint (I do not know what version gog is selling, I assume the patched one). Without the latest Patch, there was a game breaking bug. You have one main Character Magi (if I remember correctly) and for the story she needs always be in your team, but at one point, a bug removed her and you can't go on with the story. So if you have this issue, you know now why :) Have fun
