Game suggestions? For my old Acer 1.6ghz Nettop. :) Details inside.


Hiya! First post here, not a newbie to Linux though!

I'm looking for some games to play on my computer with the following specs:

1.6ghz Intel Atom
2GB RAM
Nvidia Ion LE

If that doesn't narrow the selection, I don't know what will. xD
I want a game that isn't cartoon-ey (Example: Super Tux Kart)
Preferably something Adventure relating, including RPGs.

And NO EMULATORS. I'd rather play on the actual system. I'm looking for native (or wine) free Linux games!

If the game is awesome, feel free to suggest it even if it doesn't meet my preferences above. Just please no puzzle games, I've got dozens of them. Haha.

Thank you, hope to hear back from you all soon!

Not cartoony, RPG/adventure? Rougelike games. ADOM, dungeon crawl, etc.. If ASCI graphics offend you, some of them can use tile graphics.

True Remembrance in Wine. Trust me on this. This is a must-play.

Yeah, as in no "chibi adventures" and whatnot. xD And ASCII graphics are of no offense here! Prefer them not to be, but some games (like nethack) are not the same when they're using tile graphics.

It looks really awesome. xD Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there anything special I should know about running it in Wine?

The opening movie doesn't play. Everything else works perfectly.
