-This wiki page is about games that run well on a netbook along with tweaks to make them better.
-== General Notes ==
-Most games in this list will benefit from a RAM upgrade, especially to 2GB (the max supported in most current netbooks). They will often also benefit from overclocking the Intel Atom processor, especially a 24% overclock, that is possible with a bios upgrade in the MSI Wind U100, and possibly others.

-==== 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!
