Can you recommend some games for kids? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi, I"m new to this whole pocket pc thing and I"m looking to find some games for my little girl that can run on my Wizard. I'm hoping to find some games that are just pure fun for her (7 y.o.) as well as some that are educational, maybe math or spelling if that exists...
And even greater fun is something like a tic tac toe game... where we can both enjoy the game.
(you shoulda seen my hand shake the first time I handed over my wizard for her to play around with a bit ) She loves the little bubbles game, the name slips my mind right now.
Anyway, Thank you all in advance and I love this forum, I hope I can contribute to it as well

perhaps the shapeshifter and zuma games?. Sorry not a real expert on Kids games but astraware tends to have a decent selection.

If your kids are able, I would really recommend Monkey Island and all of the scumm games. They had some Simon the sorceror and similar as well, perhaps sam and max? I was quite precocious at that age, and loved it... didn't do me any harm, lol!

Check the games section of: http://www.freewareppc.com
You'll find many.

Also check out the games reviews I've posted to the General forums here; for example, JumpyBall or S-Tris2 are all decent and, what is more, FREE titles.

Thank you all for your input, if you can think of more, keep them coming ...
My little girl LOOOOOOVES Zuma, at first she didn't really understand it (and she just shot the balls anywhere she pleased but as soon as she caught on that matching the colors makes them "explode" she had a great time...
I'll check out that review section right now
Again, thank you for all your help everyone.

Best strategy game for a VGA display?

Two of my favorite games on PDA devices of all time were Slay, and Hex Wars.
I took a very quick look at Wargus, but the thing seemed quite slow, and the mouse cursor was out of alignment which I found irritating.
Simple games like Slay, and on the Palm, a game called Hex Wars were fantastic, and very involving, even though they were very simple. I like games that you can stop and start when you have a few minutes to kill. Realtime strategy games require more time to devote to them, so I never end up getting into them anymore.
So, what is good for a VGA display? Are there any turn based games anymore?
UFO
I just found "UFO: enemy unknown"
Wow, I feel 10 years younger now
lol, I gotta get that! link me!
I bought Pocket Slay yesterday, takes me back a few years, but it's still great fun
I love Slay. Had to not buy it just to retain my sanity and some time for programming lol.
However, Gears of Wars unfortunately beckons...

Heh i found SPB AirIslands real fun. Although its not really strategy and its QVGA. VGA I am going to try Slay as you say Alan. Also would you know of any other games? Age of Empires? Warcraft 3 lol i wonder if they make that for ppc. Slay sounds really like a brutal game. anyone know of GunBound? How about that really old school game WOLF 3D? Any car racing games like NFSCarbon. Wait now that i think of it my PSP has NFS Carbon. Maybe if we could install a game in the SD card and emulate it? Emulators anyone? I will donate the games if the emulator is ready.
Also has anyone tried mcafee antivirus on their ppc? I am wondering myself as to which antivirus should i choose. So far I havent had any problems on my ppc related to virus.

Is the island bigger in VGA mode. I find that everything is really cramped up in QVGA mode. I finished the game in 25 airisland days and i got freecell copy free. But it asked me if i want to continue with current island or make another island and i chose to make another island. How can i go back to the island i already finished? Is it gone deleted?

I only have the VGA version so I can't really tell you how it compares to the QVGA one. And unfortunately I haven't had it very long myself so I'm still on my first island and can't answer the other question either. It's always kind of looked like each island is one "play" of the game, so I was expecting to just move on from one to another. That's just my impression though since I haven't gotten to that point yet. They do have a website for the game itself (http://www.spbairislands.com/) that has a forum too, so maybe the answer can be found there.

I like games like SPB AirIslands and Age of empires Warcraft 3 WoW etc. I also prefer first person shooter games and tactical warfare. heh right now i only have Arkball 2 installed on my ppc. Its really fun, just keep going and see how far you can go.
So anyone know of any other good games?
So, you need real strategy (preferably Risk / Stratego / 15-20-year-old C64/Amiga SSI strategy-likes) games?
Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287321 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286689 for some more games (Warring Nations, Add-Venture , more info on Sean O'Connor's games, Napoleonix).
The first and the last even uses high-res on VGA devices
Would anyone know of any way of emulating psp or nintendo ds games or using a bluetooth game controller?

Come on - the current Pocket PC has problems even with emulating 12-year-old technoloy (PS One), and you want it to run games developed for current technology (PSP)?
It's like emulating an Amiga on a C64
i agree that it can't be done, but psp is not current technology.
half the games are psone ports!
So i believe that SLAY is the best game to play on the PPC?
It's subjective, personally I hated pacman, but it was the most popular game at one time.
Feel free to get your own opinions on what you like, and try things for yourself.

From personal opinion i like expensive/costly, takes up a lot of space and uses a lot of memory, excellent graphics and sound,
Thats the type of games i like. Any games out there for my Universal? Money is not a problem really.
Hi,
I have Age of Empires on my M5000 - It hasnt and probably wont be updated in a long time so isnt really WM5 compatible, however it runs fine with the only issue being memory leaks. It pays to save regularly as as some point during a long session the game may freeze due to lack of memory.
Warring Nations has a VGA version and is a very good turn based strategy game with additional maps available to download.
Favourites for me are Bejeweled2, Gamebox Solitaire, Sim City 2000, Pocket Sudoku, Jewel Hunter, Raging Thunder, Shanghai (Landware's) SkyForce, Skyforce Reloaded and Zuma.

Gaming-wise, it's very cool. However, it certainly lacks hi-res VGA support, multiplayer and music. That is, I'd definitely give a try to alternatives - see my games reviews here in the General forum.

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:

Why is the Iphone killing the Diamond in number of available G-sensor apps??

The Diamond is clearly a superior product to the Iphone (with the exception of the Iphone having more screen real estate). Everytime I turn around, my Iphone-toting colleagues have downloaded a new game from the App Store that uses the accelerometer (g-sensor), and they're really nice games with really nice graphics! I have to pretend not to be jealous of the selection they have at their disposal.
So with all the talent and dedicated WinMo people here, why do you guys think there are only 10+ games for the Diamond? Do you think the revenue that can be made through the Apple App Store is driving higher production for games? Maybe the Iphone is more of a "toy" to some folks and the Diamond is more of an enterprise tool? (Mine is both a toy AND an office tool!)
I love my Diamond... just wish there were some more cool games (like Super Monkey Ball ) that I could get for it!
And yes, if I had one shred of coding skill to my name, I'd start doing it myself... but I don't. The apps that have come out so far though for the Diamond are awesome. Keep 'em coming guys!
I think there are a few things.
1) More iPhones sold - Must be around 10 million vs only maybe 2.5 million Diamonds.
2) The iPhone actually officially supports the G-Sensor, vs the Diamond's API not being officially released.
3) More excitement around the iPhone as a toy.
However, I am in contact with Winplay, and they have said:
Hi ************
Yes, we are working on several games that will take advantage of the accelerometers in devices such as the HTC Touch Diamond… Lots of cool stuff coming out shortly…

Yeah, what they said.
Plus, they had that open SDK project going for sometime before it was actually released and developers were smart enough to know, that anything Steve Jobs is excited about, will sale like hotcakes, thus the opportunity for ton's of money.
That's great news! Thanks!
Marketing. Lots and lots of marketing.
I have the diamond and my husband has the iphone. My very gadgety 6-year-old son loved the diamond when he first saw the teeter game. But then the iphone was brought home and even my not-so-keen 4-year-old daughter kept saying she wanted to play "cowabunga" (a very colorful free game from iphone). My son of course was hooked on the car racing game that we downloaded. So far, he just said once that the wallpaper on my diamond was pretty and he didn't play teeter anymore (probably it's not as colorful ).
So conclusion, iphone is much more like a toy than the diamond.
BTW, a side issue. I noticed that iphone's power management is superb compared to diamond. Iphone can last over 2 days with wifi and bluetooth on ALL THE TIME and some games and moderate use. I can't keep my wifi on for my diamond for more than 2 hours.... as I know it can't even last for half day if I do so. And yes, bluetooth on iphone is only an icon on the screen without any use. I kept it on just to show to my husband that it's useless. It's undiscoverable, unpairable..... even its very dear brother Mac book can't make any use with it.
Yes, don't worry. I am still in love with my diamond.
If you want to win your kid over, here are a small collection of games on the diamond he may be interested in.

I still believe that diamond is a more powerful device but with respect to games.... I have to admit that diamond can't win over my kids. I am a bit embarrassed to show the kids those diamond "games", when they can touch and scare the fish in "Koi Pond", or having silly fun with bouncing and falling cows that moo, or driving BMW or Mercedez like crazy in LA street... Yeah yeah, I know unbelievable, but you have to see to admit (go to youtube and take a look at "Koi Pond", "Cowabunga", "Asphalt 4").
Asphalt 4 for is available for Windows mobile too, so it should work on your diamond?
it is not only the Gsen - but for sure screen size and how you "hold" the phones.
I will never ever buy aniPhone, but I do believe it is easier to play Gsen games on it. Kids +6 can not be fooled
no wonder why, have you checked the beer apps on the diamond? I dont mean to offence anyone but its like running at 2fps. And compared to the iphone its [email protected]
Etc....

I agree completely. Wish it looked more realistic like the Iphone one. But then again, it's not a make-or-break app for me.
If you really like games ! use a psp or nintendo ds. I also have an iphone and
the diamond . Playing games on the iphone is pain in the ass
hi
Keep in mind also the Diamond is relatively new compared iSuck phones, the diamond just hit the US market a few weeks now so its like the word hasent gotten arround to dev about the Diamond as yet, which would relate to what ppl say about marketing, htc hasent really put the diamond in the US yet.
Also imo the iphone is eye candy and that all it will ever be, the diamond on the other hand is all round mostly for seriouse customers for business and what not.
Is this thread really going on???
What the hell is this?
I demand CLOSE.
Its so out of the element.
We all know the ifhone sucks ballzzzz.
And its not only the "functions" of the phone.
We are talking about you being represented by the kindo phone you choose.
I'm terribly sorry to say this but....
I dont like people that choose a fagphone as a first phone and actually go ahead and show it of!
-When ever a nerd shows of his fruitphne in y presence I just think "ya dude you and another billion of sheeps got the same no big deal"
On the other hand we as Diamond users took the dip because we rather have "bugs" (which I dont because WinMob works like a swiss watch) than fall in the pleasing of the crowds as rotten fruit likes!
Remember Felllassss Second best they are!
Sorry if i pizzz of some people but some one has to do it!
Greetings to all.
PS:Forgot:
1. I rather have less "estate" but a VGA screen. Not a dirty 320 by 480 or what ever it has.
2. What ever your "mates" downloaded from a insanely proprietary site has a high chance of being payed for.(obviosly not Jewels case) I like to call it open source.
3. The Diamond is been out for less than year. The ugly fruit is on its "second" gen (same crap).
4.I run a buissness on my own and manage t do a lot through the Diamond and WinMobs awsome connection capabilitys. (those fruitys cant even FTP Bluetooth!)

I'll put this in my own words middle of night and i cant get techinal.. "Apple = for beginners, Windows = Advanced users who like to have things run the way they want it too, when apple runs things their way, and u r stuck with it." >.>
the iphone has been out for more then a year now with an SDK package for developers, plus a lot of marketing. The diamond is still a baby, and also not even released in US in full potential. With MS building a app repository service and the diamond + touch pro getting more user base, I have the very confidence that we'll be seeing a lot of applications utilizing the G sensor in either utilities or gaming. I mean the things that marvels us already are the g sensor alarm clocks, locking mechinisms and the full ability to use gsen to redraw the screen in any orientation, something the iphone cannot do.
All I can say is give it time, with now the hardware standards rising for windows mobile, you can totally bet that there's going to be pleanty of applications out there utilizing the new technology.

bbju,
don't forget the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys
I hate it when people say the Diamond is for the business user. I don't use it for business i bought the phone coz it looked good and had some cool features.
What is everyones problem. As soon as somebody requests a game or app that the iphone has you all cry like babies saying fuk your gayphone and all that ****. I'm starting to get worried coz the "Gayphone" has games in nearly every category so looks like we're not gonna get left with many.

Raging Thunder 2

Hi,
Good racing game???
I think majority would say "Raging Thunder 2"
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.polarbit.rthunder2/
But, does it worth the price tag?
I meant, recently I bought some good quality Android games like:
- Jewellust
- Radiant
They are nice and good, well made ... but TOO SHORT.
Jewellust contains only 25 levels and my wife finished it in just couple of hours.
Radiant (the casual mode) is also too short, I finished in couple of hours.
And game like Jewellust does not offer much of "replay value".
For Radiant, I can replay and try using different weapon for example.
So, if you bought RT2, what do you think?
Thanks.
Tried it yesterday, not bad, it even has working multiplayer
Can't tell you to buy it or not, since I really rarely play games on my Desire
Bought it a few days back, and it's worth every penny if you like racing games. Really enjoying playing it. Works better than Asphalt5 for me (smoother, better sensor control).
Bought yesterday ... and it is well worth it.
Graphics is stunning, no lag, super fast and fluids.
Replay value is great.
But a bit difficult to me. I think I need some practice or I am just plain sucks at this kind of control
It takes a bit of getting used to. Best to practise on the Instance Race option and then start the Career Mode. The controls are pretty good; dont forget, the 'free' cars are not spec'd up that well compared to the ones you 'pay' for- these handle and perform far better.
Remember most of these games cost only a few dollars. If you are looking for engaging, great graphics, high amount of gameplay hours, I would suggest XBOX 360, PS3, PSP, NINTENDO DS.
It killed my battery playing it and I found that the only times I would be able to play it properly is when I am at home, where my Xbox360 is lol.. On the train its kind of difficult and I couldn't afford to loose battery for it. Personally, Totemo, Flight Frenzy and Fishin' 2 Go are the best games I have experienced playing. Radiant is good fun as well but my time is really spent on those 3, the occasional game on Scrabble/Buka too. Totemo is my favourite though Graphics on Flight Frenzy are just mind blowing, I am praying more games like that come out. Its perfect for our phone
How do you get the Scrabble game?
I can't find it in the market...

Its not on the marketplace which confused the hell out of me after seeing it in the 100 android video. So I googled it and just installed it outside the marketplace.. Didn't see any alternative =/ Its incredibly simple though
Homerun is a good one too.. beautiful 3d graphics, good gameplay, really longlife game but just think its a bit hard..
RT2 is worth it, gets a lot harder towards the end, customizing cards for different performance types is great and there's lot of shortcuts in levels.
Ashphalt 5 is a piece of **** that gets 10 frames a second.

Can I get some feedback from anyone who has played the game?
Hey it's pretty neat. Would like to see hardware keyboard support though, I never liked playing games solely on the touch screen . Or maybe it could be both keyboard and touch screen ;o?
Lol well it seems fun, like a cute mario sort of game. It'd keep me busy for a while .
thanks
Ok thanks for the feedback , glad you enjoyed it. I made a jump left and jump right button so it will be smooth like multi-touch.
Yeah and it's nice ;p. Just sucks that ours doesn't have real multi-touch .
But keep up the work!
