I have an Apple computer with 64KB RAM, 1MHz 8-bit CPU, up to two 140KB 5.25" floppy ROMs, and Hi-Res 40x48 monochrome graphics.
I have no doubt I can run any game on this monster of a machine (I did pay $750 for the extra aftermarket RAM), but I do have a few questions:
Can you help me connect to ARPANET via parallel port so I can download Steam?
Also, do I need some sort of two-button pointing device, or will I be fine with my cutting-edge linear "arrow key" peripheral keyboard?
Also, how many floppy disks will the game come on? King's Quest had 3 disks, but that was 350KB. Stellaris is apparently 4MB?! That's like, 34 disks! Surely I read the specs wrong, and Stellaris is actually 4KB, right?

You have a very old potato. I would suggest cramming the computer with floppy disks, liquid cooling it with vodka, then cramming organic potatoes into it and finding a way to crossfire them. Afterwards you light it on fire, burn down your house, then after you claim insurance fraud to purchase a new computer.

Alright! I took your advice, looks like it's working so far, but they're investigating the fire...
On an unrelated note, where do you live? I have a... uh, loose end to tie up.

I'm on a research base in Antarctica studying the effects of potato and Vodka ingestion.
