Recommend me a game for my laptop

yeah, you can't work with that crappy mousepad... even in Word or other **** I need a mouse..

In games this factor is 10 times as important so you really need a mouse..

Most mice nowadays are pretty good quality and will work on most surfaces (infrared), you could also get yourself a good old ****ty classic mouse, that works on every surface, but is not quite that comfortable

I play Civ 3 or GBA/SNES emulators games while Im in class.

I carry a USB ps2 lookalike controller with my laptop, but I dont always take it out and use it. Keyboard is fine for playing games like Sonic advanced, castlevania etc.

Stick with emulator games if you arent plugged into an external power. Its really not a question of computer specs or mouse usage... battery power will be the biggest concern if you're playing games outdoors. (Since you got Dell Im assuming you got extra battery as well... Dell laptops suck battery like crazy)

Get extra battery if you havent.

oh yeah, battery life is as big a concern as interface.

And when you install software, be plugged in.

It came with an extra battery, don't worry.

I haven't gotten it hooked up to the internet, so I don't have the chance yet to download any emulators.

How about Caesar III? More than two years old (I think), but still a nice game. Works like a charm on my 4-year old laptop.

Edit: Or is my laptop 3 years old? Doesn't matter, should be no problem for you.

Hm, that didn't seem to please the mob...

How about some oldies but goldies? In 1999 Hasbro released refreshed versions of the classic trio Space Invaders, Missile Command, and Asteroids. I have the first two and they're a decent waste of time.

Missile Command cost about 8 USD a couple of weeks back and has both the classic game and an ultimate version. When you win Space Invaders on the hardest level, the classic arcade version becomes available in the main menu...
