Hello bastards
As I may have mentioned before, the downtime periods at my work are so quiet and the attitude is so relaxed from higher-ups that I have been able to play FM on the sly for quite some time, first CM01-02 and then graduating to the newer ones. However this can get a bit boring so I would like to venture into other games, but it needs to be stuff I can play in a reasonably surreptitious manner. Can anyone recommend any games that fit this description?
Off the top of my head they would need to...
-not require much in the way of memory etc, so I can still get on with work when necessary
-play in windowed mode (this is essential for obvious reasons)
-gameplay needs to be the sort of thing where you can click offscreen at no notice without it fucking your game up. So basically no action games, platform games etc...I guess strategy/management games would be the best?
-this is going to sound stupid but bear with me...ideally (but not essentially) it shouldn't look too 'gamey'. Im struggling to find a way of saying it that doesn't make me sound like an idiot...but yeah, while people at work know I'm pissing about on a game, I think they would prefer that it isn't too blatant if only to cover their backs if someone ever took issue with it. I should at least be making an attempt to play it secretly, even if it isn't that important that I do so.
I have RCT2 on my computer and would love to stick it on my hard drive to play at work, but I can't find a way of forcing it into windows mode and I think playing a game as obvious as that on full screen mode would be taking the mick.
Cheers
Si
