ojsinnerz, your avatar scares me. D: Sho-poke.

Anyway, if you're good with keeping track of stuff going on (memory), Phoenix Wright would be good. You're not going to breeze through the game, but not paying attention to details won't make for an easy play.

Picross DS is the perfect game for you. Games where you can save and load at any given point like an Advance Wars are what you're looking for.

What are your tastes? Genres of choice? I'd hate to give you good game but completely against your tastes.

Sometimes you need to relax a little

The DS tetris is a good time killer. I enjoy it. But it kinda gets boring after a few days, so beware of that.

Well, I won't recommend puzzle games for you. Heck, your brain is heavy enough with office problems, now you gotta solve a feakin' puzzle?!

Try Worms Open Warfare 2, childish, yes but fun and quick, needs just 2-5 minutes per game

How about Anno 1701? It's pretty fun and you can save anytime you want

Ummm.... I'll tell you more later, apparently, I forgot

    designed for only specific hardware

    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
