Any good Palm games?

Currently have a Tapwave Zodiac, want some games that aren't roms

I haven't played any Palm games for quite a while, but one older B&W game that was awesome was Shadowthief. It's relatively short and was supposed to be the 1st in a trilogy. It's sort of Castlevania-ish, with a comedic, sarcastic twist.

Here's the author's site: rzanerutledge.com

Ackeron: Dark Sun was very good for its time too. It's an RPG with a steep curve atthe beginning (worse than Phantsy Star 1 for levelling up to get out of the town). But it had a great story, choppy as the game was. I had a great time with it once I got going.

As for modern games, I dunno...all I ever played were primitive games on Palm IIIc technology. I'm sure there are very high quality games out there by now.

A FPS called Daedalus 3d.

Handy Entertainment has a Micro-machines like racing game called Dreamway.

Handmark has a RTS called Warfare Incorporated.

Xen Games has a fun Star Wars type flying game called Flames.

DarXun has a good racing game called Head2Head Racing.

Arcana Magic has a Strategy game called Medieval Heroes 2,

Cronotech has a fun little game called Super Trooper.

And of course the Multi-Platform Emulator JGZ.

And hundreds of other Palm and Zodiac games.

My favorite Palm game is Space Trader:

I think that is a good version.

It's basically a long trading/buying/selling game between planets, with turn based fighting and illegal cargo, etc... Lots of fun.

From what I recall, space trader is really just a "cleaner" version of the popular

Dope Wars. (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/iizuka/games/dopewars/)

I can see the connection, but DopeWars didn't have wormholes, hundreds of cities (planets), opportunities to attack/flee from/trade with every ship you meet, illegal AND legal goods, side missions, affecting politics of planets, a bunch of different ships to own, and the goal of owning your own moon.

It did, however, have PCP.

If you don't mind buying them, Sega has a decent port of Sonic for Palm devices (Zire 71 or better). The framerate leaves a bit to be desired, but its not unplayable. There's a nice Atari comp out there too. Also, I d/l an NES emu somewhere, and it works all-right though not spectacular on my Zire 72.

Personally, I stick with Tetris clones--there's a million of 'em and they are easy to find.[/img]

I don't know why some PC game developers haven't come up with the good idea of making a little PalmOS game that people can play and link up with their main game.

You've gotta watch buying games on SD or MMC cards for Palm OS because they probably won't work on the Zodiac. I bought the Sega card last year and the system needed a hard-reset whenever I tried to run anything on the card. The Zodiac SD cards and most downloaded games work fine. I downloaded a bunch of games from Yahoo that run with no problems, except the controls are designed for the old Palm units with the up/down switch and 4 function buttons.

Yea I'm having trouble with a lot of the games because it has errors and must be reset, also does that with some roms. I wish there was a free GBA emulator for it though.

Just downloaded Warring Nations, very impressed. Great game
