What can I download to entertain myself for a day?

Gelzo

I'm going to be house-sitting tomorrow, I can bring my laptop, and I'm not sure what the internet situation will be like. What can you guys suggest?

Chagen

Nethack, or any rouguelike in general, like Gear Head.

GLORIOUSLeader

Cave Story? Dwarf Fortress? TF2 (offline bot servers)? I dunno.

CommandoDude

Torrent Baldur's Gate.

That'll keep you busy.

Gelzo

Oh, I remember trying to play Nethack about a little over a year ago. It sounded really neat, but I couldn't figure out the controls. I think the default controls use the num pad?

Chagen

The numpad is not needed, but it's useful.

Yeah, it's mostly only learning the hjklyubn controls; after that it's just remembering commands that you can look up.

Download MAME.

Then find some working ROMs of X-Multiply.

Enjoy.

Malkavian

Kamen Rider Fourze!

KAMEN RIDER FOURZE!

Bastion

Grab an SNES emulator and Live-a-Live.

Dudes, if Gelzo does everything we've suggested, he should have enough to keep him busy for months.

Download Irredeemable by Mark Waid.

I read that as "Matt Ward" at first and almost blew a blood vessel raging.

InsanityAddict

Porn, lots and lots of porn.

In all seriousness, try Master of the Wind at www.solest.org.

Gelzo

Download link on that site doesn't seem to work.

Download links still go to the old defunct domain, the above link points to a working version if I'm correct.

Any of the games from this site:

Exit Fate is a Suikoden style RPG, while Last Scenario is one big deconstruction of RPG tropes. Both are made in RPG Maker.
