There are really many games that you can choose to play on your laptop. My advice is to go for low system requirements so that your laptop can play it even if it is a little slow or beyond the times. If you want to play state-of-the-art 3D games, then you should go for the latest wide screen laptops.

Game 1: Heroes of Might and Magic
The first game we will take a look at is Heroes of Might and Magic. The game itself is very addictive and surely you will be playing "just one more turn" once you get into it. The best thing, of course, is the low system requirements so you don't need a super duper laptop to play it. And it is very addictive and comes with high replay value?

Game 2: Bard's Tale / Wasteland
The Bard's Tale and Wasteland are two traditional computer role-playing games which are suitable for laptops. They have immensely low system requirements, but don't be deceived; these are solid games with solid content. You will be addicted to the storylines and in-depth character development. Before Diablo, there were RPGs such as these, which gave me countless hours of fun and stress relief.

Game 3: Civilization 3
Is the product of the great game maker, Sid Meier. The game is about empire building from the dawn of time until the present day, so you can imagine the multitude of weapons and technologies you are able to research and put into use during the game. Great game with high replay value and absolutely gorgeous graphics and cut-scenes.

Game 4: Lode Runner
A nice traditional arcade favorite, Lode Runner was a huge hit in the 80s. You can play it easily on your laptop and get lost for hours. You control a little man who can "zap" parts of the floor away to save himself from different challenges. The levels are so interesting that you need to try it to understand the level of thought and depth that went into their design.

Game 5: Jagged Alliance 2
The final game in this list is Jagged Alliance 2. This is a great ‘gunmen' game, which features a deeply involved tactical combat system. Think of M-16s, AK-47s, grenades and other weapons of destruction that you can buy and assign to your individual mercenaries. You get to deploy them on dangerous tactical squad level missions and I can tell you, this game is addictive in every sense of the word.
