Point'n'Click adventures. They do not depend so much on resources.
Mini RPGs ("Cthulhu saves the World" for example. And check out "Mad Father") are also fun.
Simply stay away from Shooters and other games that depend on rendering huge 3D worlds (though I am able to run Max Payne 1 + 2 good on my 8 year old notebook, which also has only an Intel graphics chips).

I can play Penumbra Overature alright on my HP Mini 110, it's made by Frictional (the developers of Amnesia), as long as the graphics are set to as low as they can go.

It depends on your processor, most of the time Atom processors don't go above 2GHz, which is not enough to run The Binding of Isaac.

Everything from before 2000, in my 5 year old netbook I can run Half Life and its sequels at 60 fps with everything on high.
Also Deus Ex.

that's a classic netbook right there, have one of those too
i plan to check out what works and what doesn't during vacation, so i'm downloading a bunch of those small games on an external harddrive.
i know 'And yet it moves', and 'atom zombie smasher' works so far, i know deus ex 1 works too, but probably without mods.
Games like braid or binding of isaac doesn't work. Terraria also kind of dragged so it was unconfortable to play.

Barely playable. He'll still have frame rate issues. ;)

I don't have a netbook, but I think you should try Onlive for the games that have more requirements. That said, you should check this thread out.

I have basically the same netbook as the OP (ASUS Eee, 1.66Ghz Atom N280, 2GB RAM). When I was on vacation and couldn't sleep, I played FEAR 3 on Onlive. The picture quality of the stream won't be at maximum but it does work and it's perfectly playable. Onlive will warn you that it's not an optimal setup (and I also only had 1GB RAM at the time), but I found that picture quality has more to do with your internet connection than with your hardware - even on a low spec netbook.

I've personally played the Sims 1, GTA III and Vice City on my netbook (same specs as yours). I suspect most of the games on GOG.com would also work. You can also give Onlive a try (though it's more expensive). Like I replied to someone above, it will say that your specs are too low, but I never had a problem with it. Any degradation in picture stream quality was more about my net connection than netbook specs.
There's a huge list on this this site:

Counter Strike: Source with a few config tweaks or Counter Strike 1.6 should work fine. :)

I've tried CS 1.6 with all the settings as low as they can go, but it tends to lag a lot. I don't know if it's because Valve is still updating it and that means parts of it are more modern and unfit for a low-end netbook or I just haven't tweaked it enough. Do you have any suggestions by any chance?

I love to take the netbook to travel due to size and weight, but a weak intel atom processor and intel graphics card does not allow you to run most of games.
What Steam games do you play on a netbook? Who can share their experiences?)
Specs of this monstro:
OS Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Processor / Chipset
CPU Intel ATOM N280 / 1.66 GHz
Chipset Intel 945GSE Express
Memory RAM 1024.0 GB
