I have 1920 by 1080 monitor. This is a favorite childhood game and I want to come back, but not sure what resolution to put it on. I would play on my laptop with a proper resolution, but no numpad!

What would you guys recommend for a resolution that works fair enough for 1920 by 1080?

I play on my laptop. I have a USB numpad, which cost me about $20 at Circuit City.

I just checked Amazon. They have several USB numpads for between $10 and $20.

The great thing about a USB numpad is that I can place it on the left side of my keyboard. That way I can always keep my right hand on the mouse and my left hand on the numpad.

I've played on a laptop using a USB keyboard. I purchased one recently at a 'dollar store' for $5.
