Cave Story was suggested to me by my beau not very long ago.  I love that game a lot!  Especially that it was made recently but looks totally retro.

I think plain old Pinball is good....for an hour or two

EDIT: Flash Flash Revolution is also good, but only if you're playing version 2

Frets on fire lagged like a motherfucker on my PC, and I have no idea why.  It really shouldn't, audiosurf ran perfectly on highest graphics, as does counter strike and many other games.

Check the settings, or it could be the song, if it was only one, as it works fine for me.
