Sid Meier's Pirates.

Runs on anything and is great fun (I'm running it at 1280x960 on medium details etc on a GF3 Ti200 and an athlon 1.2 with 256mb of ram.

Good fun too and the mouse isn't important.

Can equally be played with a touch pad, and doesn't require precision like a FPS.

True lol, nevermind then.

You havent lived

Diablo 2 online is quite possibly one of the best games online, the gameplay was fantastic (re : couple of years ago)

Yeah Uplink gets my vote as does Baldurs Gate 2 which i put on my laptop last night after reading this thread. Although i do find it easier to use my USB mouse off my computer when im sat in bed with laptop

Lol, when i played it i don't know if i had internet. would have been dial up so not that cheap to do.

Might have to crack it out at some point. How easy is it to play with mates? There still any online comunity?

P.S. sorry my other post was a bit poorly typed and short, was posting on my PSP so takes too long to write a lot.

If you mean "how do you set it up?" - it couldn't be easier. Actually, it's probably the easiest game to get going in co-op there is.....you don't even need two copies of the game. Just follow the on-screen prompts and you'll be off in seconds

It's the only way to play Diablo!

Swish. So it works over LAN or internet?

It's weird i never tried it.

Half-life one can be fun on a laptop

Ive been playing need for speed underground2 on my low spec laptop, it works quite well on a low resolution.

Considering the laptop has a 64mb gfx and 512mb of ram.
