Going on holiday shortly and taking my new N220. I thought I would get a couple of games for my sons to play. Wondered if anyone could suggest something preferably not a shooting game.
In the forum someone said they liked puzzle quest graphics look nice on this.
Think I need a mouse which i haven’t got at moment so if someone could suggest one i would appreciate it.
Also if i got a game on a CD and put it into my laptop could i just then use a stick to transfer the file across or is it a bit more complicated.
Many thanksnot sure about games, but for mice, see http://www.sammymobile.com/samsung-netbook-laptop-upgrade-accessories-bags-memory-battery#Mouse I went to “good old Tesco” (UK) and got a cheap USB2 Mini Retractable optical mouse by Technika for a few pounds. Seems OK.
And ths http://www.sammywiki.com/wiki/How_To:Install_Software_on_a_Netbook_using_a_Networked_desktop_drive may help re network sharing an optical drive.
Hope it helps.
PS – just thought afterwards, even if you can install a game from a shared drive, it would (I guess) need to be a game that would run OK without needing to ‘see’ the actual CD/DVD disc when its running.
Thank you that’s helpful. Good thinking about the disc, you are right I think some need to have it in the drive.
You can get some decent “indie” games from Steam.
Check the required specs of course but some run well on netbooks, many are featured in the games list on the wiki.
Steam games can be downloaded online and then you need to switch to offline mode and the games will still be available – no disk required. At least thats how I hear it works, Ive only used it online. But steam is fantastic imo!
Have a nice holiday!
