I used to love playing this on the train and other public places and think I was a super cool James Bondy Computer Hacker Spook!

Tip: For added effect, when you notice someone watching you, stare at them in a shocked manner, then swiftly pack up your gear and run to another place!

Loooooove uplink back in the day, never heard of onlink? Sounds interesting, these are all great ideas though guys cheers. Hopefully my little gma500 graphics can cope!

Heroes of Might & Magic IV (IV was the last one I played). Truly awesome game and will run a treat.

Torchlight! Came out yesterday and even has a 'Netbook mode'

Diablo 2 works absolutely fine, was brilliant doing boss runs on the train on the way into work, lol!

Dawn of War runs ok if you have the settings on low and is great fun.

Deus Ex runs great and (of course) is an awesome game

D
If you go to www.msiwind.net I think there's a thread on peoples' gaming experiences on the Wind which will be v. much the same

Wow i keep forgetting how old Deus Ex is, shocking it runs on a netbook and yet it such an amazing game...

Yeah I rocked out a bunch of the 'classics' when I got my Advent a year or so ago, proper nostalgia and the best thing is that because it's only a teeny screen even the crappy resolutions look fine :-)

Oh and Planescape Torment runs beautifully too and is awesome!

Here's some more suggestions

Alpha Centauri
Dungeon Siege
Max Payne (

)
C&C (a bunch of them)
Warcraft 3
Starcraft
Total Annihilation
Dungeon Keeper 2

Red Alert would be a cracking thing to have on the netbook. Defo worth a go!

Theme Hospital and Red Alert 2!
