I have many suggestions in this regard. Been using eee's for the last 3 years
Games that I run under linux in my 1015 and/or ran in my 1000H
- Battle for Wesnoth
- Pretty much any roguelike barring Tales of Maj'Eyal (older versions do work, though)
- Dominions 3
- Diablo 2 under wine. special effects did not work though.
- Globulation 2
- Cube 1
- Imperialism (wine)
- Dwarf Fortress (ok here: in my 1015N it runs fairly well with a pop of 80-100 and a 2x2. In my 1000H it started to lag hard after 70, but still worked if you didn't mind low fps's in periods of high activity -or alternatively restricting pop to 50-60. Since your processor is even slower, I make no guarantees)
- Warzone 2100
- Shadow Magic under wine ( SLOW MOUSE. I regarded it as too annoying to play that way)
- Unreal World (though I personally think it's boring. the most viable survival strategy is to trade with the wanderers. In particular: to perform amateur brain surgery on them with an axe in return for their belongings)
some I dont suggest but comment on my attempts:
Paradox games (wine): Wont work at all in default resolution. If you manage to stretch your screen (couldn't in ubuntu 10.10, but I can in 11.04) or plug an external monitor they work, but slow.
Freeorion: haven't managed to make it run in either computer.
Spring engine: will likely be slow except for small, simple games. You might be able to play kernel panic. Ran on 1000H, but doesn't on 1015 (different graphic cards accounts for this, I think)
Starcraft: slowmouse problem. This was annoying in shadow magic. In a RTS is a game-killer
Neverwinter Nights 1: allegedly this one can be run natively. I didn't try because on the 1000H it ran slow on windows, and did not expect much better results. Perhaps I ought to experiment again.
Alpha Centauri (wine): barely works. Crashes randomly.
Total war: Never tested on linux, on windows I did not manage to run Medieval 1 at a decent performance on my 1000H. Shogun worked fine though. Maybe worth a try.
EDIT: On the fedora games thing: You don't need a cd to run it. Just run sudo mount -o loop /pathoftheimage /pathofwhereyouwanttomount (I think, check around if it fails), and presto, you have a virtual drive. If you have problems with the console, just install acetoneiso
HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK SOCKS.
I didn't actually know what a Spin was. I thought it was just a cd which allowed you to play the games from any linux version.
Still, might be worth it to create a live USB from it.
If it wasn't that humongously big, that is. I'm not about to buy a >4gb stick just to do that. I'd rather install the games one by one.
