Computer games you can _comfortably_ play with one hand

Hi peeps,

short story of my misery:
I had to abort a trip because I broke my collarbone.

So my left arm is in a plaster and if I use my left hand for anything, it hurts. I'm only writing this with both hands to get it done quicker.

Added to this pitiable situation comes the fact that my family is away on vacation and my car is in the shop getting fixed (not that I'd be able to drive it, probably).

So my predicament is this: Stuck in a house away from everything with no way to get out and only one good hand.
My question thus: What computer games could I play that only require one hand to be able to play?
Most strategy games fulfill this requirement somewhat but, for example, it's a lot easier to play WC3 if you have both hands to do army grouping etc.

Any action / platformer / whatever games? Any game at all, really. I'd be crawling up the walls here if I could use both hands - but then again, I wouldn't be in this situation if I could.

I don't have a Wii yet but have been thinking about getting one anyway. Are there games you can play with one hand on that?

sparksflyupward:
 Would highly recommend Peggle. Sounds to be what you're looking for, and there's a Steam demo.

Spluff:
Many old platformers have this ability. Just bind shoot to something like the numpad 0, so you can press it with your pinky.

Most of the classic PC RPGs can be done using only a mouse.

TheFuriousWombat:
PC RPGs indeed. Diablo and Diablo II are excellent examples of games that can easily be played with one hand for hours and hours and hours without any boredom ensuing.

Trollstormur:
DUNGEONCRAWL, FUCK YEAH.
