    On my days off or a 34he reset I like to play farm simulator...I built me up a real nice farm , maybe that means I'm doing to many 34s lol.. Usually only play when I have down time, to many other things going on in the middle of the work day

    You don't, but 180+ watt dc-dc converters for every specific laptop is expensive. I remembered why. 180W is usually the absolute max for cigarette adapter.

    Have you looked into https://www.gog.com/ ?
    They sell old games modified to run on modern systems. Usually for a good price and more importantly no DRM, which means it is not tied to any activaction server. Can be installed 20 years from now assuming the os can read the installer.
