It's supposed to be the same as BOTF1 - so if you can play BOTF1, you can play BOTF2!

If it;s the same as BOTF, then how come the devs have been able to get away with the better graphics and features

bear in mind though that the minimum specs listed for the original BotF were what was needed just to run the game. it had woeful problems late in the game with slowdowns and the likes on older rigs.

I was joking by the way though it's probably impossible to reach 7 million turns unless they had a robot to constantly hit return

that would crash any system:) and by my calculations, would (even at 1 turn = 5 seconds) take 66 years 215 days 13 hours 20 mins ...... to accomplish, Thats an awful long time to waste on a botf game lol

Zahadoom, how the hell did you get to that numer..?
I assume you use the 5 second per turn rule to make you calculations (otherwise, why state it so obviously?).
But according to me, a 7 million turn BotF played automatically with an average of 5 seconds a turn takes 5 * 7,000,000 = 35,000,000 seconds which is equal to 1 year, 40 days, 2 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds. To be exact.
I do agree with your final solution that it is an awfull long time to spend on a BotF game.

I think Centurion_Vardin is right....My calculations show 5sec. X 7000000=35000000 so it sould be 35000000 seconds......Correct me if i'm rong becauce i'm not that good in calculating
