Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

I really like Spelunky. It is REALLY tough but the skills you earn while playing it is very real.

If it is a Roguelike (and to me it isn't but it is often called one) then it is really the best kind of roguelike.

Master of Orion II
Any of the Civilization series - though the graphics requirements are getting higher. My laptop won't even run Civ IV never mind V.

MoO2 reminds me of Masters of Magic (sort of Heroes of Might & Magic meets Civilizations). Both are good 4X DOS titles. As far as the Civ series goes, I actually prefer Alpha Centauri (with or without the expansion) over Civs 1-3.

If your laptop can run them, Black Isle games (Baldur's Gate series, Icewind Dale series) are good RPGs that don't suffer that much from the lack of sound. There are some voice actors in those games that do really good job, but games as a whole don't suffer from the lack of them that much. Planescape: Torment is another Black Isle game but I personally feel that it would suffer more from the lack of audio. It's one of the few games that I could kinda sorta classify as a visual novel.

Cave Story, or I Wanna Be The Guy. I don't think you can get it for free legally, but Rollercoaster Tycoon is good too.

I'll vote for if just for size Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm  RL.

Flailing people to death with empty socks, though, that takes a lot of effort. Less so if the sock's made out of something interesting, but generally quite difficult.

I'd go for either Football Manager, or Distant Worlds.
