Ah, Teflon.  That wonder substance that makes burned, sticky crud slide off pots and pans with ease.  Such ease that Rude Gameware has adapted it for their Fierce Steel and Teflon Mouse Surface so your mouse will float with near frictionless speed during blitzkrieg gaming sessions.  Touting it as the “smoothest mouse surface ever,” it features a real Teflon surface and durable steel core with rubberized base.  It’s also scratch resistant and easy to clean.  $29.95.

Hey hey! This just flew onto my radar screen. Good Old Games, who I mentioned here, is fending off the Great Depression Redux by throwing a 2 game bundle at you for $11.98. You get Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader. If you like older sim games like Age of Empires and Civilization, you’ll like this, my son and I sure do. And as a bonus, it should work on your Vista laptop that won’t even run the chess game that came with it! Enjoy!

GOG.COM offers a unique service you might be interested in. They have taken a lot of very popular older games and recycled them into neat little executable packages that you can play all over again. Most range in price from $5.99 to $9.99. I’ve tried a few of these over the last few months and I’ve been very pleased.

All four that I’ve bought have installed and run on my Vista laptop , my son’s XP desktop, and my Windows 7 Beta desktop. What’s even better is all of the games are DRM free, you buy it, you own it, and you can install them on your different PC’s. So if you’re dying to play that old game you lost the CD to, or looking for something other than solitaire that you can play on your laptop, give them a try.
