Sim games like Sim City? They require almost no dexterity to play.

Oh man, I am so tempted to try that even though I stopped gaming a long time ago. RA was one of the first games I played regularly with friends back in the days on my first computer

Talking about old games, I just picked up Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior as part of a Humble Bundle and they both have native Linux clients and install via Steam. Oh the memories

I highly recommend the original 2001 release of Deus Ex. Fantastic game. I replayed it a couple of years ago, and while it definitely feels dated, it is still a compelling game.

There are also some tweaks you can download to give it modern resolutions and 32bit color support, which is fantastic.

+1 I played it with all the mods, widescreen, high-res textures etc etc. Still a great game!
