Good Games for Netbooks

[ResoundingSuccess]

Hello! I own a nice gaming computer, but it's out of commision right now, so all I have is my tiny little crappy netbook. Now, I'm cool with desktop computer users posting here, because y'all can be some help too, but it'd be nice if I could get some actual netbook users' advice and experience. I've already tried Sonic CD, Binding of Isaac, Risk of Rain, Terraria, and others on here, but modern indie games don't seem to work well. I'm thinking more games from the 1997-2002 timeframe to ensure that they work well. Here are my netbook's specs:

- Acer Aspire ONE Netbook
- Intel Atom CPU N270 @ 1.60 GHz
- 1.00 GB RAM
- Windows 7 32-bit
- Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family
- 1024 x 600 Resolution (60 Hz)
- DirectX 11 (DX 9.0 runs better, though.)
- USB Mouse / USB Keyboard
- 68 GB free hard drive space

Hope I can find some good games! I'm bored to death right now!

Fallout 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 have run alright on my LG x110 (more or less same specs as your netbook I think), and are both great games.

Slightly off-topic I guess: I play I lot of browser stuff - mainly European style designer board games on yucata.de, boiteajeaux.fr and similar sites but for something a bit more video game-y, Card Hunter is a really great hybrid deck-builder/tactical turn-based RPG.

Thanks! Funny thing is, I have both those on a hard copy. But seriously, thanks anyway!
