Games for Class!

Mooga · 02-21-2008, 12:06 AM

Have you ever been sitting in a class (like I am now) and would rather be playing a game then listening to your prof's lecture (like I am now)?

WELL YOU ARE IN LUCK!

A thread to post all your favorite in-class games!

RULES:
1) Games must have very minimal system requirements.
2) Games must be easy to pause/stop.
3) Games must run in a windows. (For easy alt+tabbing)
4) Games must be cheap/free.
5) Games don't need sound to play

GAMES:
Chuzzle (Win/Mac) - An AWESOME puzzle game by popcap
Minesweeper (Win) - 'nuf said
Tetrinet (Win/Mac/Nix) - An online multiplayer tetris game

Team Fortress Classic. Rocket jumping is fun, no sound needed either!

Start --> All Programs --> Unreal Tournament 2004 --> UT2004

Someone (usually me) always sets up a LAN game in the middle of class and we get a nice 16 player low grav super berserk instagib deathmatch goin' on in DM-Gael ^^

Gotta love Russian ripoffs of other people's games

this runs on my 5 year old laptop....so I'm comfortable saying that it complies with "low system requirements". YMMV

Specially Jumper: redux and Jumper 2. Discovered those when I broke my left arm and wasn't able to play TFC. High difficulty =o

I find "n" or "n game" very fun to play when I have a spare moment at work.

You know, the one with the tiny ninja that has to collect the gold squares?
