My laptop has pretty decent specs.

1.8 GHz mobile P4
Radeon 7500 32MB
512 MB DDR


I'm wondering what would be the best game that doesn't really require an external mouse or gamepad.

So far, Tiger Woods 2003 and SimCity4 seem to work well using the touchpad.

Any other reccomendations for newer games?

touchpad gaming?? /me shoots self in head


I walked in my brother's room once and found his friend playing unreal tournament with his touchpad!! :Q

I promptly went to my warehouse facility of spare parts and got him an old mouse.. I felt relieved after he started using it.

I'll have to look into that one.

Wonder if there's a demo available.

Quake III works pretty well, as does System Shock 2.

Most things work well for me. Just takes getting used to a different input.

Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain . . . no mouse . . . just KB

It came out about 1999 and has OK 3D graphics (and good game play but limited "saves") . . . I think there is a recent Part II but don't know about the mouse.
