I have started using GOG so I'm looking for some suggestions for titles.

Keep in mind its on my lap top and without a mouse so nothing too fast paced or demanding. Planescape Torment will be my first pick. Help me out people.

Beneath a Steel Sky is free.

If you can get a cheap joystick, then get Freespace 2, it's a brilliant game.

If you can get a mouse, I suggest Arx Fatalis, Beyond Good & Evil, and NeverWinter Nights Diamond Edition (This one mightactually be pretty damn good on a track pad).

Good first pick.

The Longest Journey (point and click adventure) would be my next stop, then the Fallouts (may as well pickup Tactics which is a good game but pays no notice of Fallout Canon) and The Baldur's Gate Trilogy (see the forums on how to run the first game in the Baldur's Gate 2 engine AKA Tutu) then pick up Jagged Alliance 2 (a personal favorite). All of these are turn-based and more than suitable for a touchpad.

Caesar III, poor interface and controls at times but still one of the gems of city building genre.

I recently purchased Divine Divinity from them, and the game is pretty darn awesome, so I recommend that one. There is enough content in the game to keep you occupied for quite a long time...

Good choice. Planescape isn't the right direction, but all the right directions. BG2 isn't half bad either (I know it's good, just not a fan). Oh, and Arcanum is fantastic, but that needs patching. Official and unofficial.


Age of Wonders 2 (Shadow Magic is the better of the two) is terrible, cheesy in plot, generic fantasy, and horribly balanced. It's also SO much fun for multiplayer, hotseat or otherwise. Try it some time.

Heroes 3 is a good TBS, though I'm not much of a fan. Fallout is apparently good too, though once again, I dislike it. Big time.

Can't go wrong with Psychonauts, and from what I hear, Sands of Time is excellent, though I've yet to play it. Neither is terribly slow-paced, though.


While Sacrifice isn't what you'd call slow, it is completely amazing. If you don't get it now, at least try it some time.

Thanks for all of the feedback, looks like I have months of gaming already to choose from.
