Have a win 7 mouseless laptop I'd like to put a game on and play for funs. Typically my go to game for olden computers is Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or maybe Civ 4. Any recommendations?

Diablo2, WC3, and RTSs would be tricky because lack of mouse and I'd prefer no rush to my actions so I can simultaneously be coding and just do minibreaks taking a turn or part of a turn here and there

Have you really never heard of GOG? It's an awesome platform. They allow you to actually buy games so you can 100% own them drm free. No Steam or whatever other game launcher is needed. Also they specialize in older games, so it's perfect for this use case.

    Well, games used to and still run on MS DOS, so Win 7 really isn't an issue.

    Actually the opposite is true. I don't know of a single game where the devs patched out something so it stops working on the OS it released on.
