What kinds of low-resource games do you guys play while your computer is working on an encode? I like to sit back and listen to .mp3s (usually talk radio like Loveline, Stern) while playing games and puzzles that don't hurt my encoding too much.

The only built-in windows game I play frequently is FreeCell. My current stats are 13714 wins, 1939 loses (88%), with a longest wins streak of 91 games.

Another game I like is called Laser Tank (http://pages.globetrotter.net/lasertank/ltank_en.html). Its a simple little puzzle game with multiple skill levels. Although I haven't played this in a while. I have beaten all but the hardest levels and so now when I play I spend 90% of the time staring at the screen or cursing at it. There are also some really neat Flash games, like this Fishy (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/fishy.html) game, but they take up too much CPU time.

Anyone have any recommendations for some good games?
