    Hello!!

    ready for a weird question?

    whats the best game that could be run on a x3100 WITHOUT THE NEED OF A KEYBOARD, in other words, just using the mouse. Preferably something not like Company of Heroes, Age of Empires... but something fast which i could play in 20min intervals, you know, fast paced thing.... :rolleyes:

    thanks... ill tell you why i need this requeriments in a sec. :D

    It's probably the most addicting game ever.

    Other suggestions: Minesweeper, Solitare, and etc.

    I'll second Starcraft.

    Warcraft III should work too.

    Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are hard to play with mouse only. Especially if you want to be effective assigning squads, quick keys to perform actions, etc.

    I agree with peggle 100%.

    I am assuming either your work demands a large amount of your time and the consistent use of one hand or you have laptop keyboard OCD and you don't want the buttons to suffer much wear and tear.

    Your best bet would be those Yahoo puzzle/arcade games and probably games in the same vein as Yoda Stories. The next category for "fast games" would be first-person shooters. One round is usually enough to satisfy a minor trigger fix. However, you would need directional keys at the very least.

    Peggle IS fun, but there's too few levels. Blew through them in a couple hours. Would like lots more maps or even a map editor with maps to share on Steam or something.
