2D Image of a very steep hill on a golf course, with the hole at the top and the ball down the bottom. Tough shot!
PC Windows -  Super Sidearms (freeware)

Half PI D Golf is a unique one-switch one-player Golf game. You have nine holes to knock your ball into within five minutes, with the aim of winning 12 "celebrations" with skillful play.

The Celebrations tick-list include getting nine hole-in-ones and for whacking your ball all the way around a planet! Each achievement is highlighted in a pane on the right-side of the screen. The game has a really nice feel to it with basic but very clear graphics and sound effects. It's a good little game.

Missile Strike

Missile Strike is a free to download PC remake of Atari classic Missile Command. Defend your cities from nuclear attack from a not very friendly enemy. Happy new year(!)

This is another highly accessible title from
Graeme's Free Games that offers a choice of ways to play. The game can be played with the keyboard or mouse with three modes aimed at opening up the game to one-switch, eye-tracker and head-tracker players. You can tweak the game play difficulty settings too (recommended) to make the game more fun for you, i.e. not too hard and not too easy.
