Gaming during class

Anyone know of a game you can play during class, I guess in a window, so that you could also have somewhat quick access to notes? I've been stuck playing solitaire and hearts during class

Better mouse oriented simple games that you can play during class?

turn-based strategy games would probably be optimal in case you need to quickly look up to avoid being caught

Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of turn based strategies, as they wouldn't require THAT much attention... FPS need you to stare at the screen and really not be able to multitask at all...

Snood sucks IMO. If you want a game like Snood, get Bubble Bobble. All you need is MAME!

well many games have settings you can alter that will make the game freeze when it isnt the active window, meaning alt tab will pause your game. im not sure what current games allow this but i know most video game emulators do.

current fullscreen games do this, but it'll take a while before the screen clears (maybe a second or two) because of the processing power involved.

Pinball maybe?

Windowed mode Quake 3 based games? UT 2k3/2k4 can do this I think also..

if I were slacking off in class, I'd fire up the complete ultima 7 using the exult front end. Great rpg, pace is as fast as you want to play it because its open ended.

No man. Not laptop but Ti-83 games are king. Once youv'e played competitive tetris HL2 is no longer top dog.

Rogue-likes are fairly simple for the in-class gamer as well
