Hey, I'm looking for games to play on my laptop. I have off times at school throughout the week which I have nothing else to do. I won't usually have a mouse on me, so that's a factor. Also, my laptop is widescreen, so if the games are full screen, it'd be great if they fit that aspect ratio (Starcraft stretches too much ). But really, I'm looking for anything at all. Commercial games, freeware, shareware... the specs of my system are:

1.8ghz Turion x2
GeForce Go 6150
1gb RAM
Windows Vista Business

Thanks .

Battle for Wesnoth - it's a turn based strategy, so you can play it even on touchpad.

Haha, thats what happens when you use the same 1cm area of the touchpad all the time. I have a friend whose laptop has a small worn spot in the touch pad because that's the only area he can work up the energy to move his fingers on.

Starcraft
Warcraft
All HL (1) based games.
Chess
Minesweeper
Spider Solitaire

On my keyboard the "w" key doesn't have a "w" on it anymore... I blame Halo.

Ha! You think wearing down keys is hardcore? I use my left Alt key for all of my keyboard shortcuts (eg alt+x opens up a terminal), and it fell off about a month ago. I swapped the right alt key to the left, tho, and now it's good.

Then again, maybe my keyboard just sucks.....

Keys falling off of your keyboard is less "hardcore" and more "angry German kid playing UT2004*"
*-Well, at least the background music in whatever game he plays is identical to that of the "Tokara Forest" level in UT2004.

Actually, there's one case where missing a key is not only understandable, but even desirable, and that's the case of the "SHUT DOWN" key. Playing a game where you use F12 to save was torture until I manually removed the key (with A SHARP KNIFE!).

Sure it is, but I was getting serious headaches from it's interface. Those pictograms weren't intuitive and I just didn't know what those icons do. I know it's old game, but still. Besides this I was actually enjoying it.

Nethack is the only game I play on my laptop (roughly).

Play Dwarf Fortress.
It's an awesome game. Just make sure you have your laptop recharging while you play it, because it's a real CPU hog. (and IIRC that means that your laptop will be drained rapidly.)

I had a friend once who removed all his keyboard's keys and rearranged them in alphabetical order, not qwerty-style . The perfect way to protect your PC against children-intruders, I would say.

I have a very old AT keyboard I use for my server. I`m removed all the keys many times to clean out all the gunk that gets in there. It`s fairly safe to do I think, unless it`s a laptop and then I wouldn`t attempt it. You can be a new keyboard cheap for a desktop, but laptop keyboards are expensive if you break something.

Why do you use substandard browsers then? Opera remembers form contents (except for password fields) as long as you don't close the tab you filled the form in.

My thinkpad has those buttons too. I love 'em.
