    I love playing Heroes 3 (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_edition) + Heroes 3 HD mod (https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/) on my W510.

     

    I was also looking forward to Days of Wonder board games electronic remakes (http://www.daysofwonder.com/online/en/m44/steam/ and http://www.daysofwonder.com/online/en/t2r/steam/) but they do now work properly as the current graphics driver has also problems with OpenGL rendering (http://community.acer.com/t5/Acer-Tablets/Graphics-driver-for-W510/m-p/46875)

     

    I guess that adventure games should run well on W510 (Broken Sword?).

    I plan to replay some C&Cs but then I would have to connect a mouse as two mouse buttons are needed to properly control these games.

     

    Lots of great old games should work properly. However, there is one big issue - the graphics driver doeas not support scaling so unless the game works in the display's native resolution, you will see only small rectangle in the middle of the screen.

    Another issue I have encountered is running DosBox - it won't run untill the keyboard is connected (DirectInput - cannot enumerate devices error)

     

    Hope this helps.

    I installed CS 1.6 and can play against bots but online gaming doesn't work very well. I'm aso able to play Age of Empires II. I like this thread, hope I get some nice tips on good old games!

    The games from Microsoft, solitaire and minesweeper. Pretty sweet playing them with a touchscreen, besides the fun.

    I have warcraft 3 and usually play DOTA

    For an unknow reason, warcraft works not too bad BUT when i play by internet like battlenet start lag and its the game not the internet conection, this situation is similar than another person who wrote about counter strike.

     

    I have an 3 years old acer netbook with old atom monocore procesor and i can play without any problem, and resolution settings are completly better, but with this modern atom processor i cant re-scale the image on the display Smiley Frustrated this procesor its worse or there are problems with drivers?

    If someone from Acer read this, please explain what happen with this new atom processor and grafics.

    hello ja91zero,

    No, i can not.

    Its completely stupid that with an old atom processor i have options for that but with this new one we can not almost anything  do with grafics setings.
