rjk · 15 Sep 2008 at 14:50

so im getting a netbook in a few weeks - just really because i want one

thinking eee pc or the acer aspire one [intel atom/1gb ram/winxp]

i know they are not going to run crysis
but i have seen some examples of quake/doom etc running on them

was wondering
what games run well on netbooks?

[im hoping somebody says red alert]

Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament run perfect on the eeepc

Most games are tested on the old 701

im being realistic and not expecting anything so that any games are a bonus

I think RTS games would be pretty cool to play on the go! A nice game of Red Alert 2 skirmish while chilling in the park
