Was just currious if there was any good PC games worth running that dont
require a keyboard or mouse [besides esc] that you run.
I got Tony Hawk 3 PC running great from MAMEWAH, i think the NHL/NBA/FIFA 2003 and other sports game may work, unless they require
a mouse or something to quit. any others worht trying?

Check the first post that's pinned to the top of this forum. That's what it's all about. You can get there from here:

i seen that but from what i seen it was all freeware or web games, im talkin about retail games and such.
i skimmed through that post and it seemed to be all arcadey type freeware games.
if im wrong forgive me. but i will check through it again.

Oh I misunderstood you. I guess it all depends on the types of controls you use. Different games will be possible for different people.

Well, there are lots of good PC driving games that work fine with a joystick (as they all have setups to play exclusively via keyboard)......the additon of a cheap PC analog wheel will help here but I've played many a Need for Speed game on the keyboard with fine results.
There are also some cool arcade-racer type of games for the PC......Speed Busters and PowerSlide both come to mind (both modern-ish 3D Accellerated games).
Also, the INTERSTATE 76 titles would be awesome.......sadly I'm not sure how well that title performs with modern day videocards...it really wants a 3DFX card as the D3D implementation is....spotty at best.
Then again, a 3DFX Voodoo 2 add-on board will run you about $20 bucks on ebay right now so... :)
Youc an play mechwarrior reasonably well without a keybaord, but you'll use a lotta keys on your CP.....there aren't any super fighting games on the PC, so I'd recommend instaed you run a PSX emulator and load some of its 3D fighting games (Tekken, Bloody Roar, soul caliber)....
I'm sure there are more........

cool i'll check some of those out. i'll rent first theres a local place here that rents PC games and theres alot. i'll give it a look. sounds like those games, Tony Hawk 3, and the EA Sports games are the best shot so far.

Just go download some demo's....www.avault.com, check out the games and see if you like the way they play on a keyboard.
You should find plenty to keep you amused! :)

...run a PSX emulator and load some of its 3D fighting games (Tekken, Bloody Roar, soul caliber)....
uh, i think he means soul edge, soul caliburs prequel.
enter the matrix plays fairly well, as well as a game of that poor calibur can play. spiderman the movie is really fun. there is also a sonic collection i bought a few weeks ago, Sonic R included, and it plays realy well. crazy taxi is out for pc, it supports a wheel. also, i think the Worms series was designed for an arcade. you just will need about 15 buttons (never more than 3 simultaneously though).

If you want to go old school...
Duke Nukem is a good one :P
-
Let's start with the classics.....DOOM, WOLF3D, HERETIC...... ;D
-
duke nukem is not old school
catacomb abyss, wolf3d, spear of destiny, the 2 add on packs, lethal tender, the old pie in the sky stuff, now thats old school fps
-
When I refer to duke nukem, i don't refer to the newer fps duke nukems ::)
I was talking about the first and second duke nukem. They were really fun sidescrollers.
