Games for Palm Pilot

Post by cameltoe yumyum »

Just got a new Palm Tungsten E with Palm OS5.. Anyone have suggestions on some good games? I'm looking for some strategy/adventure type games (for when I have some time) and also some quick puzzle-type games like Snood for killing a few minutes here and there.

Also, any cool or can't-live-without Palm apps are welcome!

Thanks!

Do a search for Dope Wars, IMHO the best Palm game out there.

How modern?

You can actually get RTS for Plam. It's called WarfareInc.

There's a sub sim out there called ShipHunt, almost like Silent Service, albeit smaller graphics and no stations to switch back and forth.

For freebies, you can't beat Space Trader.

Taking a quick glance at my Tungsten E, a few suggestions:

Aldon's Crossing - top-down RPG
Legacy - first-person RPG, pretty impressive graphics

NetWalk - nice puzzle game
Rally 1000 - fun little card game (aka Milles Bournes)

A few must-have utilities:
Backup Buddy (free version, backs up to your SD card)
FileZ (free file manager)
Keyboard II (better software keyboard)
McPhling (handy recent app-switcher)

Other handy apps:
iSilo (HTML reader, rip web pages and read them offline)
Shadow Plan (outliner and project manager)
Handy Shopper (make shopping lists, game wish lists, etc)
SplashID (storing login/passwords with desktop syncing)

You can find these easily on www.palmgear.com or www.handango.com, or of course www.google.com.

I'm a Pocket PC guy (Axim x30 High) and I am loving Legacy! I just can't stop playing the uber-addictive Magic style card game in the tavern, great stuff!

Aggression is a very good Risk clone for PalmOS

Check out Arcane Journeys!

Hey There!

You should check out the www.arcanejourneys.com line of games, especially Adventure Solitaire!

http://www.arcanejourneys.com/palmgames.asp?pg=6

Very fun game that, if you can believe it, a weird combo of Free Cell Solitaire, a strategy game, and a little skill building RPG stuff.

Oh, and the guy behind these games, Jim DuBuis, was the designer of the PC game Majesty!
