Will Blood Frontier Run on My Netbook?Today, I heard about Blood Frontier, a free Open Source first person shooter (FPS) game that runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The screen shots looked interesting and I read that it is fun to play. It is based on the Cube Engine. I need a fun game to play on my netbook and this game sounds like it might just do the trick. But FPS had notoriously needed ultra performing 3D graphics cards with a fast CPU. I looked for the system requirement for Blood Frontier, but only found it needs "3D acceleration hardware, OpenGL". What does that mean? The built-in graphics card in my MSi Wind U100 could do 3D graphics. But can it run Blood Frontier? I don't know. But I'm downloading the 400 MB file now and will soon find out. Chieh Cheng It does work! After downloading I started the game and it ran just fine on my netbook. It ran at 7 fps, but that's only because I was running large file transfer between two USB hard drives. And as you know, USB transfers uses up a lot of CPU. I will have to try it again when I'm not doing work on my netbook. Now I have a fun game to play when I'm on the road.
