best airplane trip game

So....no mice...somewhat dim screen...neighbor....maybe an isle seat.


What game would you play for a 3hr flight?

 

Mile high club in the bathroom is a pretty awesome game...

I usually just bring a movie for airplane rides if i'm riding alone

 

something racing-test drive?grid?

 

lol,you can try flight sims

 

AoE II would be good...not an intensive game so saves your battery life. Plus it last for a long time!

 

Something with Terrorists and Exploding Airplanes. A Hi-Jacking scenario would play out well too. Don't forget to ask for a seat belt extender before you begin.

 

If you've got a numberpad, Sid Meier's Pirates! might be a good option.

 

Leisure Suit Larry.

And ask a Stewardess (ahem!...flight attendant) to help with the puzzles if you know what I mean.


Or, based on your avatar, don't fly until Fallout 3 is released!

 

Portal? ? I think so.

 

Any turn based stratgy game:

Civ 4, Galactic Civilizations 2, Sins of a Solar Empire

 

3 hr flight?

i had a 16 hour flight from new york to taiwan...try finding something to do for 16hrs

 

I had a 16 hour flight from San Fran to Honk Kong.

DANG that was long and the movies sucked.

 

I had a flight from Chicago to LA, LA to Guangzhou, then Guangzhou to Chengdu. Top that. LOL

The only movies on were "iRobot" and "Legally Blonde 2".

P.S. the trip back was even longer, I had to get from Lhasa to Chengdu...

 

3hrs seems kinda short to play any decent game

during my 16 hr flight, i saw a few ppl playing bejeweled the whole time rofl

 

Oregon Trail/emulator

 

i'ma do it big and go for Amazon Trail.

 

Definitely this.

 

Agreed, except go with Civilization III - much less demanding on the graphics subsystem and thus drains less power.

For shorter flights I recommend Trackmania Nations Forever (free racing game from Nadeo), but it drains the battery too quick for that long of a flight unless you've got a really good battery.

 

Heroes 3 complete is my suggestion, I saw someone sitting close to me who was doing exactly that with just the touchpad.

 

Cant beat 24hr in C-130 trip i had last week. Flight was only 8 hrs(stayed in plane whole time) but circled whole iraq twice to get to my destination. I couldnt feel my *** for hr after i got off.

 

Minesweeper

 

The best one is actually Africa trail, but no one I ever mention it to has ever played it.

 

I tend not to bother with my 14" Asus - usually I'd just watch videos/listen to music on my iPhone, otherwise I'd be chatting with neighbour passengers or the airhostesses.

 

I've doen Africa trail, i loved it

 

Get a PSP. Then the options are much more diverse.

And guys, stop flying so much. That's the problem
