I am DESPERATE for some GREAT GAMES!

Hello,
I will make this really short and to the point...
I am desperate in finding some super crazy cool, rich colored, entertaining, super vivid, etc etc... etc etc... GAMES for my Wizard (Cingular 8125)
I got QUAKE running and that's sort of cool.... it is a bit slower then I'd like it to be but still neat nonetheless...
So please, put me out of my misery and help me out here...
Let me know what are some super cool games...
Where can I find "demos" (hint hint) of these games...
Are there any great emulators worth considering.... and more important where the heck do I find the damn ROMs for them...
Share the wealth/knowledge - PPPPPLEASE
Thanks

If you like meaningless killing then this game is for you
gfdoom runs great on the wizard and can be run in landscape mode
see here http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm
See this post for more suggestions http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50684
G-prime xtreme also very good, fast and good graphics plays well on wizard.

I have downloaded the four files which ones are needed to be installed?
Can you please provide some directions? Thanks.. :lol:

Unzip the gfdoom_zip and then add doom1.wad file from the website then transfer whole folder into \storage card\program files on the device. Create a shortcut to gfdoom.exe and off you go. To get to landscape mode in doom select options - low resolution and it switches.

its switching to landscape but its upside down

i've been playing tetris... nothing gets better than that. i really don't like the high-end games that require you to do a lot. something simple that just uses the d-pad is cool by me. i'm looking for pac-man, and maybe some good card games.

Here you are - both free

Patiences - set of 3 card games freecell, Klondike and Spyder best free card game.
Best of retail solitaire 'cant stop solitaire' - v real cards and 250 games
or gamebox solitaire - v good graphics

Ok, after having played Pocket WarCraft2, Quake, Doom, Tomb Raider, Naval Conflicts, Arvale, TrafficJam, Bear's Job, My Little Tank, RailRoad Jam, Atomic Cannon, Insaniquarium... I found only these two games to be best of the best for me: OBULIS (First Epoch & Second @ ionfx.com) and Pocket Sokoban (@ PocketSokoban.com).
PM me if you need the information

For a nice Freeware Tetris game check out KEVTRIS

try also SkyForce .. is the best so far for me
http://www.idreams.com.pl/product.php?idProduct=3
any1 played the other games from Idreams : SUPER MINERS and EXPLODE ARENA ?
http://www.idreams.com.pl/main.php

Can anyone recommend any good scrolling shoot-em-ups? I used to love playing SWIV, Xenon 2 Megablast, Project X, etc. back in the days of the Amiga.
I'd also like to find something along the lines of like Hexic (free puzzle game on the XBox360 HDD), Columns, Puzzle Bobble, etc. Fond memories of Breakout too, so a PPC equivalent would be cool.

A remake of the great X-com PC game. This will keep you busy for ages. Completely free
http://www.smksoftware.ru/pufo.shtml

anyone have bejeweled? or something similar

Skyforce is a cool game, Astraware do something similar to bejewelled called gem jam i think.
The free cubicle chaos is ok too from microsoft not sure if wm5 is supported yet though

MUST HAVE: Killer Games List!

Allright, after much trial and error. I have installed 72 thousand different games in my hermes, I have narrowed down all of the list to just a few.
OK, get these.
Age Of Empires Gold Edition - Woo gotta have it.
Flux Challenge - Kinda a space racing game, cool music, really showcases some of the potential cool graphics of the Hermes.
Pocket UFO - X-COM: UFO Enemy Unknown - It's absolutely free too! I can't stop playing this game, it is rated as the number 1 best game of all time by IGN magazine!!! http://pc.ign.com/articles/082/082403p1.html check it out. Honestly I HONESTLY LOVE THIS GAME.... Play it, you won't be able to stop, and it is free, you can find it anywhere on the interweb. EHEHHE
Pocket Nester - So cool, then I put every cool nintendo rom on my device (that I actually own of course hehehehe)
Snails v2.0 - Little worms clone type game, kinda fun
Tower Of Souls - Looks awesome, I havn't played it yet, but one day I will ehhehhe, a diablo style looking game.
Warring Nations - Looks really cool, kinda like Age of Empires
ScummVM - Lucasarts Emulator, I have actually seriously purchased all of the Scumm games ever made, I am a lucasarts freak, and they all work, even, Full Throttle, this is honestly one of the most amazing features of the Hermes! ehheeh. serious.
FreeSCI - Sierra SCI Emulator - Play Codename Iceman, Kings Quest 4-6, Space Quest 3-5, everything on the Hermes. Now the only problem with this emulator is it runs a little slow. I have however played Space Quest 3 without much of a problem. So nice.
Ok everyone, there has got to be a billion games out there, lets make a fun list... cuz why did we get a Hermes if it wasn't for anything else other than to show the stupid psp guy sitting next to you that he wasted his money.

Solitaire City - a Collection of card games with online hiscore, very addictive
-Kha

Hehe, nice list
I liked the scumm, thank you, I will definetly try these out ^^
And try out:
Arvale: Short Tales is a light Role Playing Game with Four separate stories to choose from. Now this is a real good game, the same maker has some really nice other role playing games

some games I play on my device are:
realdice multiplayer championship poker (you can also play this game over internet with eg umts or gprs)
astraware bejeweled 2
worms world party - awsome!
astraware zuma
spb arkaball
spb bubbles

I'm currently playing Syberia. An adventure with nice graphics.
From the graphics point of view, I still prefer TombRaider, which actually is an exact clone of the first part for the Playstation.
What is regarding the bragging in front of a PSP guy: Forget about it. I own a PSP and despite of its much higher graphics abilities (watch Wipeout and Syphon Filter), the controls and the screen are just better, period. Maybe one day the graphic capabilities of PPCs will be the same, but still, the handling and controls is just awful for many games. Some games are great with the touchscreen but for most games, the gameplay is crap.
Sometimes on the closet, PPC games are good, such as Kevtris, but for real gaming, I stick to my PSP or XBox.

Couple more to add to the list that I play a lot, all are not free/shareware i'm afraid:
Arvale II (PDAMill): Top down RPG with turn based battle system.
Multiplayer Championship Poker (Real Dice): Texas Hold 'Em over the net, has single player mode as well.
Monopoly (Handmark): Bit sad I know but it's a classic
SkyForce (Infinate Dreams): The definative screen scrolling shooter
Street Duel (Pixelogic): 3D Racer
Warfare Inc (Handmark): Great C&C clone. No net play but multiplayer over bluetooth. Think this a better choice over Strategic Assault
I also have Worms World Party, Tomb Raider and Flux Challenge but they have already been mentioned and I agree that they are a must have. Pocket UFO is wicked if your an old XCOM/UFO lover (ME!!) and as said in an earlier post it is completely free.
S.K.

KRally, Edge, Skyforce Unlimited, some 4Pockets and Inscenic titles, SuperTux, Gold Miner Joe - my personal picks from the last year.
Also make sure you check out my games reviews in the General forum here

I have a quick question...
What games are specifically multiplayer over the internet... is texas holdem the only one? this I think could be the coolest feature for some games like monopoly and what have you... but alas I think a lot of people would probably cut off because they would be at work or something... LOL

http://software.palminfocenter.com/product.asp?id=8859
Played with it a few minutes and bought it! If you try it put the 8525 on landscape before you launch the app. Its a little hard to move left and right with the joy stick but after a while it okay and the game is ver cool.

Check out my Multiplayer Bible; it's been linked in from several of my games review (make a forum search for "Multiplayer Bible" in the General forum). It discusses all the multiplayer titles.

Maybe a noob question but are these games PC versions or Pocket PC versions. Just that i've got a few old PC games and was wondering if its possible to install them on my PPC. If their PC versions how would i go about installing them on my PPC.
Thanks for any help its appreciated

I dont think thats possible. you might be able to play old DOS games using
Dosbox. But im not sure.
My favourite game is Syberia. Definately the PPC. But 200MB heavy.
Then Riven and Myst, followed by Return to Mysterious Island.
Also good:
Ages of Empires Gold
Need For Speed
Brainstorm
Resco Diamonds
Quartz2
Warlords II
Doom
Anthelion
Argentum
Everquest Trilogy
Yahtzee (very fun)
Arvale 1 and 2
man, i have so many games, i dont know how to finish this list.

How do you guys get these old Windows/DOS games to work on your phone? I've got a BUNCH of them and would love to be able to play them again.

Although they are the same titles, they are especially rewritten/ported for PPC.
Some of them have just the executables ported, and use the same level/map/artwork files from the original CDs, so it's a good thing that you still have them.
But no, your Win/DOS collection won't work on PPC out of the box, but you could search for the titles on PocketPC gaming and software sites to find what your options are.

OK. Thanks for the info.

Pretty much forget them - it's only with selected games that emulation works (see for example Legend Entertainment's old adventures played on VGA Pocket PC's under Pocket DOS).
However, there're interpreters, whoich do interpret for example Lucasfilm and sierra games. Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1095219&postcount=8 and, of course, my articles ("General" forum here); I've published a lot of info on this question in my articles too.

Gamez Gamez Gamez!!!
Woo.. didn't realize people had such a passion for games.. thought it was just me!... Allright.. I am going to try all of these games posted here, for some reason, I baught Syberia and installed it on my HTC but it never actually worked, just figured I wasted my money and stuff... but that was with the Japanese-O rom on there, so I will try it again with the English rom and report back, I will update my games list in a couple days with a short review of each game. But still my number one favorite game thing.. is the Lucasarts Emulator ScummVM, honestly, it is perfect for a haldheld device. Even a couple games are free for it like Beneath a Steel Sky and something else I can't remember, get it, install it, then install day of the tenticle and sam&max hit the road... man o man.. are those games ever entertaining on the HTC, paired with a bluetooth wireless headset, it is just unbeatable. Next if we could just get the other Bluetooth stack runnning properly ... we would be set.. oh well.. i guess patience is a virtue.... or so my mom sayz.

I've just got KRally but am having problems with it on my MDA Vario II.
1) It doesn't seem to handle 2 button presses, e.g. if I'm accelerating and then turn (using hte d-pad), the car stops going until I press accelerate again!
2) using the stylus to steer causes pretty bad slowdown
Anyone got any suggestions on how to avoid either of these problems?
I've e-mailed their support but no word yet.
cheers

It seems that this is a known D-pad issue of Hermes. Combined with other hardware presses, D-pad behaves this way.
Some solutions would be:
- set auto acceleration AND auto turbo in K-Rally options, so you don't have to press other buttons except D-pad
- use arrow keys on the physical keyboard instead, they work ok combined with any other button (yes, K-Rally works great in landscape, too)
- map left-right in game options to other buttons (although I tried mapping them to softkey buttons and the game slowed to a crawl)
As reported on the net, the D-pad issue is known to HTC and maybe (hopefully) they will address it sometime:

Games like Teeter?

hi does anyone know if there are any games like Teeter?
I enjoy it and just wondering if any similar
Thanks

resco bubbles: http://www.fuzemobility.com/resco-bubbles-gsen-addictive-game/
It's like teeter but you need to pop bubbles in order and the boards are textured so the ball acts differently...really neat
also Marble Worlds which is similar but slightly more of a traditional game: http://www.fuzemobility.com/marble-worlds-2-released-g-sen/

I wonder why the Windows Mobile platform gets so few games. I guess WinMo users have the sense to play games that are meant for gaming.

Well there is that and the fact that winmo has tons of emulators. Wait till marketplace comes out then we will get more accelerometer based games.

I would like to know any emulators that work with the TP2 I'm kinda missing my spring mogul.(NOT REALLY TP2 ROCKS!!!)

While I like games as much as the next guy, I would like to see them incorporate the accelerometers into more APPS as well. This is one thing that the iSore, er...iPhone does well.

Best HD2 game?

dudes
what's the best hd2 game in your mind? im quite caught up on electopia and teeter i havent tried fpseCE yet though...so do tell

Not really a HD2 game, but Flight Commander definitely is the most addicting game.

Electopia looks like it may be fun but is still just a demo at this point. Xtrakt and Experiment13 are both fun.

CrayonPhysics is by far the most addictive game i've played on hd2

Electopia has sweet graphics... Pretty good gameplay too.
I have just got Crayon Physics, haven't tried it yet tho.

i heard about experiment13 but have yet to get it, im definitely giving it a go...i saw gameplay for tekken 3 of fpsece and it looks mindblowing...problem is the user controls are a bit funky cos there's no keypad per se..

experiment13

Same here. Almost dreaming of it and all their shapes

Try Xtract...genius fast-paced racer/shooter/futuristic/robotic thing LOL.

FPSECE of course!
(I know that's not a game )

Crayon Physics
Also not a game but Morphgear to play all the old snes games

Are you a Quake game?

I was quite impressed with "age of empires" RTS game, had it on the orbit 2 and it played pretty well. Dont know if the HD2 will though as is multitouch, wonder if anyone has managed to see it on the HD2 yet....
search: Age of Empires Gold Edition for Pocket PC

The spectrum emulator at http://pocketclive.emuunlim.com/ offers you the opportunity to not only play retro games, but also to write such classic high powered apps as:
Code:
10 PRINT "John"
20 GOTO 10
Who needs PSX emulators when you can do that!!! lol

Crayon Physics is top of my list!
I'd quite like to see Crush the Castle on WM, there is an iphone version.
the web version is an swf at armorgames.com
Been trying to get this running on the HD2 to no avail.

The supporter version of FpseCE and Tekken 3 is epic. Multitouch is running nicely and the on screen buttons are surprisingly nice to use! The only downside is that in Tekken they are invisible even with the overlays.

fpsece was one of the reasons I really wanted a HD2.... what other phone can you play playstation games at full speed with multi-touch onscreen controls. Just so you know... you need the supporter version to get multi-touch capable version. It's worth it if you have a HD2, though.

still, the lack of NATIVE games is present. Sure the games can be emulated but hey, is that really all there is? If I look at my girlfriends iPhone and what she has available and if I then look at the quality it really pains me that WM is such a pain in the ass, sometimes. Not that I'll ever switch to Apple, Apple is evil, but what developers for WM deliver to us is really poor, regarding games!

Sadly the game support for the HD2 is not great. It's made worse by the fact that a lot of the games don't work well on a capacitive screen with it limitations when compared to a resistive screen + stylus.
It's also odd that Android SH!Ts all over Windows Mobile when it comes to gaming. Not sure why because there are some. Add that to the general restrictions of MS and WM and it's not looking good for WM.
I'm selling my HD2 and got myself a Milestone in the interim. I'll miss the huge screen and TomTom but Android is lightyears ahead of WM. And as a bonus I can also have more than one active sync account with push enabled....YES!

There is no limited games on HD2...
Caver
Experiemnt13
Crayon Physics
G-Invaders
Galaxy Hopper
Hunting
Kiwi
Pocket Mini Golf
Prince of Persia
Sonic Racing
Spinballs
Splinter Cell Conviction

Ive seen worse, and its still perfectly playable, despite it not looking the greatest.

I agree that there isnt a huge amount of choice when it comes to games that run natively on windows mobile. But of what there is available... a higher percentage is quality compared to other platforms.
I can add to the list above:
Spore
Tiger Woods Golf
Zen Table Tennis
Xtrakt
Celeris Virtual Pool

Mini Golf Wacky Worlds
Pangya
Electopia Demo
Boom Blox
Dragonball
Crazy Taxi
Deer Hunter 3D

Very clever of you to post a list of cracked Games/Warez in this forum you got from P***rez.org
"CBD" for example means "Cracked by Dasai" just in case you want to tell us that they are all original....
