Only if your idea of "games" is "slick-looking realtime 3D-rendering
games".  There are lots of games that work perfectly well on 3100-class
(and even slower) machines, such as roguelikes (rogue, larn, hack,
etc), text adventures (ADVENT, DUNGEON, etc), phantasia, Seahaven,
Klondike...the list is long.

It's not?  Someone once built a Turing machine in Minecraft....

Depressingly close to accurate in far too many cases. :-/
