OK, I have a game for you to try.  It's called "Luminara"

As usual with my most hearty recommendations, it's a free game (call me cheap, but let's face it: Web connections and computers are expensive enough, so why pay for the entertainment, too?), and all you need to play it are a decently fast computer, and a recent version of the Flash player.

The game itself is extremely simple; deceptively so.  You have a little tank, in the center of the screen, and various flying shapes are trying to destroy you.  If they hit you, you lose a life.  If you are hit five times, the game is over.

Fortunately, you can shoot the shapes, and destroy them.  Just position the cursor on them, and click the mouse button to shoot.  Your tank will automatically target the cursor.  You'll have to keep shooting, and make sure that the cursor leads the targets, since the shapes will move pretty fast as the game goes on.  Also, this game is much easier with an actual mouse than a track pad or track ball.  And I would dearly love to see a full size, free standing, arcade version, preferably with a joystick control....

But I digress.  This game is a definite keeper, I think.  I'll be getting back to it often, that's for sure.
