Some of the older Western RPGs would work if you're into them:

Baldurs Gate 1 & 2

Neverwinter Nights

Fallout 1 & 2

Planescape Torment

Icewind Dale

Some other Strategy/God games:

Older Total War games (Medieval, Shogun, Rome possibly)

Caesar III

Pharoah

Age of Empires II & Age of Mythology

Darwinia

AI War: Fleet Command (you may actually need the mouse wheel for this so check because I can't remember!)

True, you could play any of those with a touch pad, but the experience would be pretty awful for most of them.  I would suggest anything you can play with a controller and anything turn based (like Heroes of Might and Magic and possibly Civ). 

For things like Neverwinter Nights or anything like it, ugh, I'd through the laptop through a window.

Lol, possibly, but I think the pausing would help slow the game down if you had the patience for it. I think you'd just learn to cope with it after a while, especially if the games are top quality. I know a couple of my mates used to play AOE2 on a trackpad (although not competitively, just vs AI). Hell, one of my mates plays Mirrors Edge on trackpad... no idea how!

And Total War can be played entirely turn based if you skip the battles. Not ideal admitedly.
