You can enable Mouse Mode in the browser, this allows you to use a onscreen cursor.

It has a similar resolution. Surely not optimised for a mobile device, but I'm curious.

Portal is too slow on the N900. It works, but isn't fun (2 fps?)

Ok, so a good site for flash games on the N900 is pickychicky.com. They have fullscreen links for most games.
Just wasted 5 minutes on "Bush Royal Rampage", these sniper games are great fun with cursor mode enabled - much easier to target with the touchscreen than using a mouse! Saved the queen

Cool. So you can use the stylus on the display to act like mouse movement? How about mouse click functions? Thanks!

I notice some games do not allow you to save the actual swf file, but just a loader. Must be a way to prevent saving the games for offline.

Awhile ago I put together a zip file of some simple games along with a way to navigate to and open them using Maemo's browser.

>> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=288466&postcount=2

Unpack the ZIP file found via the post and place the "games" directory on your memory card. Open Games.html found in that directory with your tablets browser. Save that opened site as a "Favorite" and enjoy.

BTW, if the Browser options on the N900 are the same as the N8**'s, you can download SWF files you find with the MicroB browser directly to the device.

Simply turn off flash and when you browse back to the site with your intended prize, MicroB will now show a download place holder instead of running the Flash.
Download the SWF, re-enable Flash in in MicroB, click on the SWF file from the "File Manager" and rock on.

Space acts as mouse click

It's reasonably fast @ 1150mhz

so thanks for the tip!
Tho I'd really like a real mouse for this one...
