Rune
3rd person Adventure / Hack'n Slay based on ut'99
- runs great from box installation
Sacred Gold
Hack'n Slay Roleplay Game like Diablo
- runs little laggy, but still very enjoyable
- start in windowed mode
- The Game has fixed resolution at 1024x768 so you either want to play it on external monitor or you can't see the skill / action bar. You can move the Window pressing alt+left_mouse. So you can see the action bar. But then you can't see the health bar anymore. Email Michael from linuxgamepublishing.com and ask for a fix for that!!!! - would be really great if we could fully enjoy this game on the netbook!
UT'99
First Person shooter

- use "Normal" renderer, I couldn't find a visible advantage with the other ones
