i got a new eee pc (a 20GB, 1.6 ghz atom 901 with a REAL 1024x600 screen) and now i need some game suggestions! the only requirement is that they have an 800x600 mode.
i have installed:
diablo 2 + expansion
quake 3
avernum 5
angband
civ 3
i do NOT want to install:
starcraft (never a huge fan)
bg2, iwd/iwd2 and torment (played through them again in the last couple years)
c&c/ra titles (only really like generals and ra2 these days, and i have ra2 on my main rig)
let the suggestions flow like the rich bounty of your loins, ye true gamers :bow2
console scum go home
-
fate is awesome, but the intel integrated graphics would get murdered by it
-
ZSNES
VisualBoyAdvance
JNes
Kega Fusion

i think you'll have a hard time finding a PC game from the last 10 years that doesn't allow 800x600....
-

Even at such a low resolution?
-
That machine needs some Monolith lovin'. No One Lives Forever and Alien vs. Predator 2.
-
You ever play NOX? That was a pretty fun game.
-
Grand Theft Auto 2
-
age of mythology
silent storm
fallout series
also, with all the people here who have low-powered laptops/subs, we should start a low-rent bf1942 or CoD (1st game, of course) goof-off club - we could call ourselves The Pooter-Shooters
-
Could it run Morrowind?
I am waiting for that Dell one of these small computers. I just need to dig out all my old PC games to play on it.
-
Make sure to pick up one of these. (http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=12328)

SPREADSHEET GAMING PROLE - The Strategy First collection on Steam
http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=posts&id=1728&cc=AU
Space Empires, Disciples, Jagged Alliance, Sacred Gold... all perfect for the EEE PC.
I have the 900 model which is the same but doesn't have the Atom processor, but has the 1gb of ram and the sexy screen.
-
i adore this little thing, and omg disciples 2!
-
yes how good is the 900? that screen is pure sex, and you get some decent storage space. plus mine came with a 120gb external hard drive
make sure you get eeectl so you can adjust the fan speed.
-
going for a decent cross section of low-res PC gaming awesomeness
age of wonders shadow magic
gothic 2 w/ expansion
warlord battlecry 3
children of the nile
painkiller (might be pushing it on the graphics department, if so go for serious same and serious same second encounter)
space rangers 2
jagged alliance 2
wizardry 8 (PM me if you want to borrow my copy or something, it's hard to get)
combat mission: barbarossa to berlin or afrika korps
settlers 10th anniversary or anno 1503
I want to say that the old SSI general games (PG2, Star General, Fantasy General) run at 800x600 as well and would be perfect but I don't have one handy to try. Pretty sure about the other ones though.
-
ooo, i have the super rare rites of war -- the warhammer 40K SSI "general" game. i'll install that!

That game was ahead of its time. Home is only now catching up, minus the word-processing.
-
Unreal Tournament.
-
Crysis :lol
Seriously try Shogo, it should run.

Shogo is awesome. I might install it and play it again.

All these posts and no x-com? weak. I'm sure Xcom 3 supports 800x600, the others may be 640x480, surely sub is acceptable right?
There is also Doom 1-2 for windows.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2

Quake 2

age of empires 2 is still really fun if you're in the mood for an old-school RTS.
