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

    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.

            I get the feeling you’re just being contrarian on purpose now. Most, if not all games released on win 7 will still run on win 7 now, and will continue doing so forever, period. That’s exactly why OP is asking for cool games from that era.

              Except they didn’t ask for “games of that era”, they asked for a bunch of games I’ve never heard of, so once again, I ask you to excuse my ignorance on the matter. I’m not being contrarian, I’m literally just asking questions.
