Minimum:

Graphics: Something within the last five years would be nice and gorgeous, better is always better.
Storage: 501 MB available space
Sound Card: I made a bunch of these bit blaster xl sound effects by making stupid noises with my mouth into a pretty low rent consumer microphone, so I recommend not having a sound card, or you may realize this.
Additional Notes: When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
