Toshiba NB100 and games

Hi, I have just bought the NB100-12, and though I fully realise it is not a gaming machine, I wondered if anyone has installed any yet. I tried a few old ones which I thought were not very graphic intensive, but have hit a few problems.
Scrolling in a game is one problem, I installed sins of a solar empire as I read this may work, but scrolling to set up the game failed, as the boxes all disspeared below the shallow screen, and no way could I get down there.
Rise of legends was another, but that shows an initial display but then says the graphics failed to initialise.
Am I expecting too much? or does anyone know of any games to install that are playable other than card games etc.
Anyone know how to scroll on a Toshiba NB100? its OK with IE and other installed progs, but I installed Photofun, which was supplied with my Panasonic counter and that dissapeared below the screen and was not accessable.
Help or advice appreciated.

 

you wont be getting anything lower than *768 (cannot get *600) on sins of a solar empire, see here;

heres a list of all the games and if you click on the game, you will see if there is a resolution hack/ ini file for it to play on a netbook resolution, i'm presuming the toshiba has a 1024*600?

if you dont see the game you are looking for, select the letter, as that list at the page i gave you is just the 'most searched for' only.

 

Yes you are right about the resolution, the problem seems to be the vertical resolution will not go above 600, the other res being 800 by 600. I will search on your link and go through the list of games carefully, but a quick glance did not show any with a vertical res of 600. I am sure as the netbooks become more popular clever people will find a way around the limitations. It certainly works well on video playback, and I would have thought some of the older games should run once the resolution problem is fixed, or even the ability to scroll in games.
Thanks for the input.
