• PC games suitable for a touchpad and a small hard drive
    11 replies, posted
So for the past few months I haven't turned on a computer at all - when I moved in to my current unit I could only hook my desktop up to my TV but even with a wireless keyboard it was difficult to use. Last week I swapped the desktop with my brother's laptop (which was actually my laptop that I gave to him back in 2012). However, he replaced a perfectly fine 640GB HDD with a small as fuck 60GB SSD. I'm only really going to be using this laptop to type up uni assignments once I go back to uni in March, but I do want to use it in the mean time for at least something. So what should I install? I like RTS games as long as they aren't too complicated. Racing games are good as well. I don't think any FPS game would work well with the touchpad. I have 45GB of free space thanks to disabling hibernation mode and reducing the size of the page file thing, but I'm not going to install any game that goes above perhaps 5GB. Anyone have any ideas?
Cave story, since you like RTS games I guess the older command & conquer games, Tales of Maj Eyal, most roguelikes, really.
The only thing I play when I'm limited to a touchpad is FTL. Since you have a pause button, it's easy to play with a touchpad. Also try something like Lone Survivor. If you like racing games you could try some of the old need for speed games.
Get a wireless mouse and that will widen the range of games you can play.
World of Goo and Little Inferno.
Bad rats
X-COM: UFO Defense / Terror From The Deep
anyone have any ideas on F2P games?

Both are hard but fun platformers. Also FTL if you aren't using the controller and maybe Civ5? (might be too big though)
Play some flash games online, most of them are rather easy on a touchpad, and there's no storage needed.
