Here's a list of games that I play on my NC10 that run well despite its feeble specs. Feel free to add any other games you can think of. Most of my picks are freeware:
Spelunky:
This is a compulsively addictive cross between a Metroid style platformer and Nethack. The levels are randomly generated and there are lots of secrets to be found. Expect to die in a variety of ways--I've died over 200 times and I haven't even completed the game. I think it strikes a good balance between being extremely difficult, yet fun at the same time. Very rare in modern gaming.
Charles Barkley's Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden:
I find this game hilarious. It has a completely ludicrous plot (you play as Charles Barkley in a postapocalyptic alternative Earth where basketball has been banned) but the game takes itself unbelievably seriously. It's a brilliant and polished pastiche of Japanese RPGs.
Deus Ex:
Runs exceptionally well on the NC10 and it is one of my favourite games. Bonus.
I'll add to this list when I have time.
