Good laptop games?

[pookguy88]

what are some good games I could put on my laptop? like games that don't need a mouse, keyboard only. Like shooters and stuff. I saw someone with a ibook and had some kind of cool shooter called Darius on it, anyone heard of it? where can i get it?

Stick to 2D games (Diablo, Starcraft, Total Annihilation) and lightweight 3D games (GLQuake, Quake2) if your laptop has a 3D accelerator.

What's wrong with a mini-mouse? (I know . . . Ask Mickey . . . sorry . . . )

Anyway, I just played Serious Sam-II Demo with the keyboard and touchpad (it DOES take some getting used to) on my Dell. Since I only have the ATI 16MB DDR card, I had to lower the resolution to 800x600 to avoid slowdowns.

3D gameplay is going to be limited by your videocard and processor speed . . . either get used to using the touchpad or get a mouse (even optical mini is available).

Oh, "Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain" is a pretty good 3D game that (I believe) uses just the keyboard.

you can never go wrong with Doom!

Scorched Earth! Star Control 2! Commander Keen!

pookguy88, I have a Dell laptop and stick w/ 2D games since it's not a 3D powerhouse. I got my laptop for travel, so gaming wasn't an issue; but I do play Starcraft, Diablo & Age of Empires on it w/o a problem. Other than that, I stick to card games, kinda dull, but kills time while on a train or while flying. Hope this helps.
