A game I can play on a plane

I'm looking for games I can play during my 5+ hour trips. Something my laptop video card (NVidia Quadro FX 360M) can play with no problems. I generally like adventure games, strategy games, RTS games. Something that's great on single player. Older games are cool too. Any recommendations?

If your laptop a Dell? I think I found the latest driver for your card. Install it before you play any of the 3D games. They should run smoother:

Anything in the "Myst" series.

the issue is, that most laptop batteries will barely last five hours straight doing Word, and movies drain the battery even quicker...

if you add 3d acceleration where will that lead you?

i vote NES emulator|

For the flash cart, I have the M3DS Real, and I can recommend it fully. The NDS you can get anywhere, and it's around $130 US. This is a good site with decent prices and he is very quick with shipping.

Any of those carts will work fine...just be sure to get one that uses a Micro SDHD card, so u can get at least a 4 gig card for storage and will support up to 32 gig SD's. Setup is very easy with them and u can also watch movies, use emulators and such, and use it as a PDA! Pretty cool stuff. BTW I have the KORG DS program, and it is really cool. It has the sequencer and everything!

Play that in the plane so that all the other passangers can see it.

And then crash repeatedly into buildings and when they give you a look, be like "i am practicing"
