One handed PC Games

Hi all,

Having some surgery on my shoulder next week and will then have to be in a sling for 6 whole weeks. Was wondering if anyone can think of any cool games that can be played with only one hand on PC. BTW its my right sholder and I'm right handed :( so nothing that requires super super finger dexterity.

Thanks

Had a look at some vids for it on youtube. Not sure if I get it - kind of like lemings with goo???

Still could be fun. Please keep the suggestions coming I have six whole weeks 1 armed most of which I will be at home by myself unable to drive or ride my motorbike :(

Almost any strategy game can be played casually with just a mouse.

Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, Command & Conquer, Warcraft, etc.

Sweet about the goo game - looked at more vids and stuff, it sounds cool.

I have C&C Generals, but think I would get frustrated playing it one handed.

I also have Trackmania - that is the only one handed game I have so far

Cheers all

trackmania nations forever for sure.

or even the paid version.

you just use the arrows and it's the most awesome racing game i've ever played.

i've spent 24 hours on it so far and i dont see myself quitting ever.

i definitely see myself buying paid game at some point though.

Wizard 101 is easy to play with only one hand. It's the game I play when the toddler wants to sit in my lap and watch me play games.

you can play WoW with one hand, very easily if you have a mouse with more than 3 buttons.rob1101

Audiosurf only requires one hand as well. artichoke

Why dont you try some browser game, all you need to do is click and play it, dont need to download and easy. there are many of choices, defintly have one that suits you http://mygame.mmosite.com

Well there are games that you could play without both hands. Just bash the keyboard with your head, and bind stuff to your keyboard.

But games that are actually ok to play with on hand would be basically any strategy game, any mmorpg game (eve especially, since it's mouse-based), Audiosurf or World of Goo.

Crayon Physics Huh.

That is seriously cool - I'm buying it!

Any point-and-click adventure game should do nicely... check out some the the old Lucas Arts games that run on ScummVM.

And... this game is freaking sweet. Check out the demo.

I seem to remember that KotOR let you run by holding down both mouse buttons. Though not ideal, you could play it one-handed.jedinat

Yes, play adventure games...but I'd go through the Sierra Online ones first. They are vastly superior. ;)

I would suggest sticking to some RTS, RPG and maybe point and click adventures games.

Neverwinter Nights can be played with just a mouse, and you can pause the action if need be to adjust your tactics, stack up spells etc. Dungeon Siege can also be played mouse only.

Most RTS games can be played with just a mouse, though you might want to reduce the difficulty slightly as you'll probably have slower reaction times using your left hand.

Has Puzzle Quest been mentioned yet? I came across this topic, looking for one-handed games myself. My son was born last week and loves being held rather than being put in a crib to sleep. I hold him when his mom naps, and I've been looking for games I can play while I hold him. (I'm holding him right now as I type this one-handed.)

I've also recently set up Titan Quest so that I can play it one-handed. The main change I had to make was to set the wheel-mouse button to show dropped equipment (by deafault set to 'Z' or 'Alt' or something) and I was good to go. Everything else could be accessed by mousing.
