Control phone from computer/browser with screen off

Useful Stuffs: Motorola Moto G XT1045 - ver. 4.4.4 - AT&T - Macbook Pro Yosemite - Human Brain ver. 0.1b Beta

Objective: Play game(s) on my phone while causing less battery strain.

Thought 1: to use an external screen source (i.e. a laptop + monitor, non-mirroring). This would ideally save battery by not using the android screen. I found Mobizen, an app that does almost exactly what I need (its an app which focuses on recording video). With it I can connect my phone, see and control my phone's screen in my browser, but when my phone screen turns off the connection dies defeating my main purpose. (I have a ticket into Mobizen)

Thought 2: Use an Emulator. The main game I am wanting to play does not work on Blue Stacks...Dev says blocked for security reasons. Any other emulators to try?

Thought 3: RDP / VNC ??

Any other suggestions?
