Given an AMD 1100 with 512 Mb RAM and a solid state OCZ 30Gb drive and Ubuntu 9.04, the following games could not even start (application launched, but start screen was already sketchy)

• • Extreme tux racer

  • Sauerbraten (FPS)

  • Alien Arena (FPS)

  • Nexuiz (FPS)

The following games almost worked (not enjoyably playable)

• • Open Arena (FPS, Quake III Arena replacement)

  • Planet Penguin Racer

The following games worked, as long as they were the only thing running

• Frozen bubble

  • Supertux (Supermario replacement)

  • FreeDM (original Doom) (old FPS)

For some reason, Warsow didn't launch.
