Just curious I have windows 7 on my new netbook and was wondering which games will work with 7. Any suggestions?

Most of them will work just fine. I quite like the games that are built into windows 7. The solitaire one and the mahjong one are both very accessible. Also the games from l works, topspeed 2 and audio quake will work on windows 7, but audio quake is kind of hard to set up.

My wife who can see plays mahjong quite a bit. Haven't really tried it myself.
But remember what your netbook is and isn't. It's a lightweight stripped-down computing device designed to do internet, email and cloud apps.
Not to say you can't do more, but contrast that with how games work:
They're generally heavy load, even audio games are pretty heavy on the processor. And you're using an Atom processor or similar which in and of itself is great, but ... there's no other way to say this ... it ain't a PS3 or xbox 360.
If you do play them you'll probably want to totally unload your reader rather than use its sleep mode or whatever. You'll need all the system resources you can get.
Not saying don't do it, just consider what rig you're on, and what it can carry.
You can mount a lot on a small vehicle but can't get that far with it, and gotta balance the load. Same thing goes for computers, and you see people do the same virtual thing as the guy towing a 25-foot boat with a Honda Civic.
Oh and said guy will swear it works, which it does, on flat ground for short distances. So, just consider the machine you got and what it's made of.

I know of a game that is really fun. "Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizzardry" is being updated, and the updated version will work with Windows 7. It's not out yet, and it's not free but it's tons of fun... at least the old version is. You can get it from PCS games or Draconis Entertainment.
