I'm trying to spread the passion of PDA gaming to my fellow LYN-ers by recommending only the best PDA games around, and reviewing them as honestly and unbiasedly as possible, as a fellow gamer. (reviews on sites always puts the game on a good light despite it being terribly sucky)

This first post will be the navigation post, links to the other posts in this thread containing the reviews (since i'm sure this thread will be flooded)

If you have a need for a game to be reviewed, by a fellow gamer, before purchasing, drop me a PM and i'll review it ASAP.

Free strategy games WORTH PLAYING on your pocket pc
WARCRAFT 2


Without a doubt, Stratagus, a port of Warcraft 2 for pocket pc, and the best part is, its totally free! I've played the game rather thoroughly, and the requirements for the games is pretty low. Installation was a since, since it was a simple Copy and Paste folder installation.

Gameplay, its terrific, in some ways better than Age of Empires, which i will review in due time. However, as its a port, and your pda does not have a mouse, u may need some getting used to, since you can't right click or left click. Problem is solved by choosing the order for your units directly, such as "move" or "attack move". I usually use attack move for my units since it may well be too late for some of my units if i get ambushed if i had to manually order them to stop moving, and choose the attack button. Clicking "Attack" and targeting the ground makes your units move to a spot and attack any enemies on the way. Also, i was able to play a skirmish game with EIGHT players! (me and 7 computers) with no lag or problems at all on my HTC Tytn2!

Graphics, compared to other strategy games out there, you could say its a little on the cartoony side as you can see from the screenshot.

Campaigns have all been properly ported with good english, and correct narrative.

Sounds and Music, do not appear to slow down gameplay, or require a faster processor speed. It does however require more ram.

ISSUES:

* PDAs with no qwerty keyboard may have problems saving / loading a game, since you can't type in your save game's name, but i believe the latest port now assigns one button on your pda to a letter, so you can at least save the game, although it may just be a jumble of letters. If you still can't save a game, you can copy and paste a save game file from a friend who has one, into your pda, and use that file for your save games
* The WARCRAFT 2 version, as seen in the youtube video in the previous blog post, may not work with some devices. (I tried and failed with my HTC P3600i), but do not fear, the original files from nop's (the porter) site should work well.
* You should have a minimum of 20mb or ram to attempt to play the game, and if you still can't, try deactivating sound.
* If your pda today screen is landscape not portrait when you start the game, the game screen gets screwed up.

Requirements:
I'd say 400Mhz would be optimum (if you have less, you probably may not be able to play a 8 players skirmish game without some lag), and about 20mb of ram.

Warcraft 2 version downloads (download the appropriate one for your PDA, VGA or QVGA)

Stratagus version downloads (both games are the same, but the Warcraft 2 version may not work for some PDAs)
Stratagus version downloads (both games are the same, but the warcraft 2 version may not work for some PDAs): [code][/code]

The porter's website has two versions, QVGA and VGA, though i believe the game is called Stratagus instead of Warcraft. But its definitely one and the same.

WARRING STATES


An old and often overlooked game, Warring Nations is a free pocket pc game, that many gamers simply do not know about!

The game takes place in China (woot hurrah how many games can boast that!) during 464 to 222BC, and you are a ruler of a state in China. The objective in the game is to defeat all the other rules and become the overlord (emperor!) of China!

Gameplay: Is simply enough, but for the lazy noobs who will probably read the manual and e mail me with "HOW THE HELL DO U PLAY THIS GAME?!" questions, i'll try to explain as briefly as possible.

1. Choose your character.
2. Choose your state.
3. On the top of your screen (see screenshot 1) you can see the morale of your troops, the number or scholars (researchers) and the number of soldiers, plus the amount of money you have.
4. You can recruit additional soldiers, scholars, as well as choose to spend money on increasing morale, in addition to choosing what to research.
5. Attack, by clicking on enemy territory. (beware of morale, even with numerical superiority you can lose when your troops dessert you (low morale)).
6. Be careful of terrain, crossing rivers, mountains, or walls gives the defender a defence bonus. Hah, and you thought it was all just artsy decoration.
7. The last button on the right bottom of the screen is to end turn.

Replayability: Is where this game truly shines, and for a free game, truly kicks its commercial counterparts Medieval Heroes and Warring Nations in the ass. Unlike the other games, this free game is so damn addictive because of its random events! Eg. Invasion of sudden tribes from the corner of the screen, flooding, earthquakes, rebellion, and, (whoa!) the emergence of new factions!!

Bottomline: If you loved the PC game Rome Total War, and want something that has immense replayability, if your love strategy games but you don't have the stomach to play real time games like Warcraft 2, Warring States is definitely the game for you. It could well possibly be the best turn based strategy game EVER!!! (i find myself playing this one more than its commercial counterparts)

Requirements: Rockbottom, basically any pda should be able to play it!!

You'll have to download and install this first!

GBA emulator for PDA

Pocket GBA (freeware) vs Morphgear (commercialware)




Pocket GBA vs Morphgear, i'll be comparing the performances of each. There isn't really much to say, for a basic gamer, there isn't really much for you to know.

For starters, Pocket GBA is a GBA emulator for pocket pc that's totally free. Work or any future development seems to have stopped and there havent been any updates in years, but i have no problems at all with the current version.

Morphgear, various emulators all in one, for PDA, but it's a commercial program (and rather pricey, almost 20USD per module!). Looks much more professional than the pocket GBA.

PERFORMANCE: Pocket GBA seems to SURPRISINGLY, out perform Morphgear in terms of smoothness and playability!

For the D810 and p3600i, both Pocket GBA and Morphgear doesnt seem to have much of a noticeable difference, but on the slower Tytn2 (thats right dudes, the tytn2 is actually slower in terms of gaming! WTF) Morphgear lags like crazy! It's still playable, but controls are extremely sluggish at best, like your buttons and controls seem extremely heavy. Its very off putting. Especially since Morphgear is sluggy even WITHOUT the sounds.

Pocket GBA scores much better, smooth as ever, without the sound. Its almost as smooth as any normal game made specially for PDA. Even more surprising, is when the game is played with the sound, it was STILL performing better than Morphgear without sound. When i was using my HTC P3600i, i was a Morphgear fan. Now with Tytn2, i'm a Pocket GBA fan.

LANDSCAPE & PORTRAIT MODE, PLAYING WITH QWERTY KEYBOARD: Interestingly, Pocket GBA was able to play in landscape mode once that mode was selected, and subsequently able to assign keyboard keys as control and play that one. i tested it and it works fine.

Morphgear was unable to do so. there was no option to convert to landscape mode, and sliding out the keyboard distorted the Morphgear screen, lol, so i guess the commercial ware doesnt work in landscape mode


ISSUES
Pocket GBA

1. May crash on some PDAs when receiving incoming calls and sms
2. Tweaking and changing the system settings (frame skip rate) for Pocket GBA tends to hang the software, and refuses to run any more roms Copying and pasting back the files from the PC to the PDA resolves the issue quite easily.
3. If your PDA is unable to press up and left/right keys simultaneously, you won't be able to play side scroller (or similar games) where you need to run and jump.

Morphgear

1. Seems to lag more than usual on certain PDAs.
2. If your PDA is unable to press up and left/right keys simultaneously, you won't be able to play side scroller (or similar games) where you need to run and jump.

Pocket GBA download and Installation

Morhgear Purchase and Download



FOR GBA ROMS, SIMPLY DOWNLOAD FROM A SITE (google gives u abundant sites to choose from), place it in your pda, and load it from either Pocket GBA or Morphgear.

I recommend this site, as i download my roms there as well

good one dude
can u play in landscape mode & use qwerty k/b as the controller?

very good question. Interestingly, Pocket GBA was able to play in landscape mode once that mode was selected, and subsequently able to assign keyboard keys as control and play that one. i tested it and it works fine.

Morphgear was unable to do so. there was no option to convert to landscape mode, and sliding out the keyboard distorted the Morphgear screen, lol, so i guess the commercial ware doesnt work in landscape mode

Added on April 13, 2008, 6:47 pmGUITAR HERO MOBILE REVIEW

First, let's see a video review of the game, played by jrinco11 on youtube. His review isn't exactly full, nor correct, but i'll get to it in a while.



Gameplay: While the reviewer in the video clearly experienced lag in his gameplay on his Tilt (US version of Tytn2), my MDA Vario 3 (UK version of Tytn2) experienced no lag at all.

I've no idea if he has anything running in his background, but i recommend upgrading your rom from your original rom. I strongly recommend rom's either by Sleuth or Dutty, since they're by far the fastest, least problematic of all cooked roms. You can find em on XDA Developer forums. (google it).

On his screen, he could only see 4 songs. There should be a total of 15 songs, playable on different modes, easy, medium and hard. They're unlocked and made visible when you've completed the first four.

Music does seem a bit soft, even on maximum volume, so i use the headphones for the best rocking experience.

Guitar Hero Mobile does not appear to play the whole song when you play it. Rather, they play maybe from the beginning to about half or three quarters of it, then fades out. So if you expect to enjoy the entire song while you finger mash, forget it.

An important note about Guitar Hero, is that you can only have 2 songs downloaded in your phone at a time.

Example: lets say you have songs A, B, C and D currently (the first four you start with).

Currently, you have only song A and B in your phone. To play C, you need to have an internet connection to download the song. This can be achieved either using active sync or your provider.

But after downloading C, A grays out, so now, you have B and C playable on your phone. If you wish to play A again, you'll have to redownload it. (takes about 20 seconds each time), and either B or C will be grayed out, depending which u played last. (u keep the one you played last.)

The reason for this i believe, is since the game developers promise 2 new songs a month, if you were to have the entire collection of songs in your pda, the space taken by Guitar Hero will increase dramatically every month. Still, i wish we had more than just 2 songs in the database at a time, since for us Malaysians, its a bloody pain to use GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA connection (pay per usage).

EDIT: A work around would be to connect via active sync to your pda and download. when one song is downloaded, copy, and paste in a folder in your PC. Then download the next song (the previous song in your pda would disappear, but u've backed it up in your PC. Repeat, until you have all the songs, and copy and paste it all back in your PDA! hehe, and this way you won't need to download any more songs you have it all in your PDA!)

Still, all's said and done, i've bought the game myself and am now completely addicted to it. If you love games of this genre, Guitar Hero is probably the best of its kinda currently available. I definitely recommend it.

Purchase the game here

Baronic, I do have dutty's rom (the Mar 29 version on that video, and now Apr 09 -- and I experience lagging on both, and I had nothing running in the background -- the game was loaded after a soft reset). I think the reason may be because of the HTC video driver issues -- read more about it here.

Also, for the songs being deleted, you are correct in that you can just set the song files (sng_<songname>.bar) to read only -- however, you cannot do this w/wm's built in file manager. You'll have to download Total Commander (or another file manager), or of course, use one of the cooked roms that already has it installed! If you have a non windows mobile device, I don't know if this is possible to do.

just thought I'd respond to my review not being complete or correct haha -- more on my review here: http://www.jrin.net/2008_04_09/review-guitar-hero-mobile

This post has been edited by jrinco11: Apr 14 2008, 12:39 AM

hmm, i'm using sleuth's rom here.

I didnt mean setting the song files to read only. i meant, simply, ensure an active sync connection so your PC and read the data in the PDA. Then, with the game running, download the song. Refresh folder from the PC, and you'll see the song file. extract into your PC. Repeat for other songs. Then, replace all songs back in the PDA. But i guess your method works better haha, since i've no idea what happens when i download a new song thats been uploaded. Will one file be deleted, or the entire collection be deleted, and the game only keeps two music files? lol. I do have a backup in the PC. but still....

Write a review on Worm .. im sure many will love it

Warcraft II FTW !! Remember playing this on my PPC on hours, very addictive, in case u guys are wondering about the Stratagus, its call that due to Blizzard sueing them for porting the game and calling it Freecraft in the first place

P/s Baronic, are u the Baronic from ipmart forum?

This post has been edited by pipedream: Apr 15 2008, 09:19 PM

Nice one bro...

anything like C&C in PDA??

Yes, there are a few C&C like games in PDA. I'll list down a few notable ones, and give a review on each before u decide which to buy and play lol.

@pipedream: yea, same Baronic, though i've quit ipmart forum for good. I used to be damn famous, lol, a mod there, leader of SE section...and i started helping the pocket pc section there too. but had to leave for legal purposes. I'm done with that life. lol. Could you unquote the warcraft2 post dude? messy la. lol.

This post has been edited by Baronic: Apr 15 2008, 08:53 PM

lol ur contributions there is still very hot and actively downloaded

kk, will edit now

For C&C games, try Warfare INC, i found that quite nice

Warfare Incorporated vs Machines at War
showdown between the best two Sci-fi RTS games for pocket pc

Warfare Incorporated



The above Youtube video review pretty much sums it all up. I'll highlight a few stuff, that differentiates it against Machines at War.


NOTEABLE FEATURES:

-Multiplayer via Bluetooth
-Downloadable maps created by fellow gamers on their official website
-A free downloadable mapmaker, where you can create your own skirmish or even missions
-Great, clear, crisp graphics.
-Very low requirements compared to Machines at War

Machines at War



Full length feature review, if you have the time to read (i don't think i can write any better than him) : Click me

But you don't have to read the entire thing, lemme try to summarize it.

Gameplay : Fast and furious, would be the two adjectives to describe Machines at War. You'll be constantly on your toes being, defending, attacking, and defending again. If you thought the gameplay of Warfare Incorporated was slow paced, then Machines at War is the way to go. Unfortunately, it would seem that M.A.W does not seem to have any campaigns or storyline to boost this aggressive pace, which is a shame.

Graphics: May seem small and grainy, especially compared to the clearer Warfare Incorporated, but it can be said that Machines at War is trying to go for the realistic feel while Warfare is going for the cartoony feel. Sorta like....Red Alert 2 vs Command and Conquer Generals.

Requirements: is HIGH for MAW. I'd recommend at least 300Mhz, and 20mb of ram for the BEST gameplay experience.

Multiplayer: None.

Mapmaker: None.

Sounds like M.A.W is losing out to Warfare doesnt it? Not necessarily, here's why.

M.A.W has much MUCH more units compared to Warfare, defensive tanks, an impressive amount of types of turrets, and different types of offensive units as well. In addition to that, M.A.W has a nice proper tech tree, as all RTS should have compared to Warfare. You can go the defensive tech tree approach, offensive, or economical. But you cant max all, since you have only a limited amount of research points.

Because of this, the strategic gameplay of M.A.W is much more impressive compared to Warfare. Especially when you play with the fog of war (warfare doesnt have fog of war, onli a shroud! meaning once area explored u can see the area permanently!), the game gets harder! You can hunker down, and build walls and defend a reservoir of minerals you found (cant build walls in Warfare)! So again, the strategic gameplay of M.A.W is much more impressive.

The map of M.A.W are randomly generated as well, but IMO, they all don't really matter, as there doesn't seem to be enough rivers and waters or impassable terrain to really affect gameplay strategy. Warfare wins here, as with many choke points, terrain becomes important for Warfare Incorporated. But STILL i feel M.A.W pawns in strategic gameplay. (damn i seem to be repeating myself)

CLOSING OFF BOTTOM LINE:

Warfare: Better campaigns, good map and mission editor available, MULTIPLAYER
Machines at War: Beautiful skirmish gameplay, great strategic gameplay, fast and furious paced action, MORE UNITS, MORE STRATEGIES and BETTER TECH TREE

I have them both in my pda. I like em both.

Buy Machines at War
Buy Warfare Incorporated

Bro,

if u say that WM6 do have this game.. i wont ask u for anything else anymore...
my dream will come true...

is there Pro Evolution Soccer or Winning Eleven for PPC?

This post has been edited by Krools: Apr 24 2008, 04:09 PM

hmmm, i take it those are soccer games? unfortunately the BEST soccer game for ppc is the old FIFA 2002! Its damn old, and there are newer soccer games, but i feel nothing beats the gameplay of FIFA 2002. do u want a review ?

bro.. morphgear u can turn it to landscape la.. under global settings, " Orientation "... choose west or east.. east is if u wanna use the keyboard.. and west is the other way around..

Pocket GBA can change the landscape mode the other way around? mine can go on landscape.. but its the other way.. impossible for my to use my keyboard keys.. im using fullscreen mode..

Can review some game like digimon, tamagotchi, virtual pet game? Just for raising or battle tru wifi or bluetooth

Oh.. pardon my previous post.. i 4gotten ur using a tytn II now bro baron.. sry sry.. my mistake.. but the MorphGear can change to landscape la

nice thread man....but i dont have pda. Just iphone.

sure...

damn... there nothing in soccer game

iphone also is a pda, just its different OS..

i dont think it is.. its a categorized as a phone.. if u say that it has Wifi and a touch screen.. normal phone too have those functions nowadays.. PDAs are gadgets which are just like ur PC.. but its only smaller in size..

imo; iphone till can be categorize as PDA like Symbian UIQ platform, but its function doesnt attract me much as Window Mobile PDA

but arent symbians under the smartphone category?

Symbian < smartphone
Symbian UIQ < PDA

these pda games here are refering to Windows Mobile PDA, not symbian UIQ pdas. pet mobile games? i'll look into it

Tamagotchi games i dun think there's any, will check it out, but as for Pokemon games, best is play the gameboy advance version using the emulator as shown in the reviews earlier

This post has been edited by Baronic: Apr 26 2008, 10:27 PM

For pet game in PDA im not sure la.. but i saw some review about japan phone, it build in with those game.. therefore i though u might know some..

DISTANT GALAXIES





Overview: Distant Galaxies is a classic space shooter for Pocket PCs and Smartphones. This game tries to follow the same philosophy of old classic games such as Galaxian and Space Invaders, but adding more enemies, final bosses, extra weapons and the ability to upload your score and share it with the rest of users in the World Ranking. I tried to keep this game far from other space shooters for PDAs where you can only see bullets, 3D effects and all kind of stuff in the screen that makes playability very complicated. This game is easy and fun to play and that's why I think this game is closer to those old classics.

Classic looking old shoot em up game, simple, yet fun to play. Best of all, its freeware! I think its for QVGA, have not tested on VGA devices, but its free so just download and test it yourself, no harm trying.

Any recommendations for free and simple games that can be replay-ed over and over again in short period of time? Something like, while I'm waiting for something, I just fired up a game, play it for a few 1-3 minutes, and stop.

So far these are the games that I played the most:

1. Reversi
2. Bubble Shooter
3. Chess

Any other *good* games you can recommend like above?

Can take a look at this freeware site

I find Gems Swap rather addictive

Patiences is a collection of three popular solitaires - Freecell, Klondike and Spider

well, i LOVE insaniquarium deluxe and Hexic. awesome great games

Hi,

Baronic,

Do U Have Software Recommendation Thread?

Hope U Build One.

Personal opinion: i find myself playing this darned game again and again and again. the replay value is simply fantastic with RPG and strategy elements!! the only thing that comes close to this is Pocket Heroes. Its of the same genre, but slightly different gameplay. i would totally recommend spending money to get this, in terms of value for money i give this 10/10!

Let's say if the the requirements are for WM5 or WM6, will it run properly on WM6.1? How about landscape and normal mode? Both can be installed?

Btw i mean games like text twist, scrabble, simulation games etc. Thanks Baron.

gimme 24 hours i'll update with the games u mentioned.

yea, it should run properly even on wm6.1. landscape and normal it would depend on the game itself. some games are only landscape mode usually

WOW... long time ive not been here...

alots of update...

GOOD JOB Bro!!!

which free games do u recommed? some of the games in ur list needs to be purchased and all in us dollars. Thanks baronic

scroll down in the first post for free games.

also, when u really think about it, Rm30 for an original game is totally worth it, especially since i recommend only the best. heck, original PC game is 100 plus. buying pirated CD PC game is Rm10-20 depending how many CDs.

even i sometimes buy games which i really really like, even if i already have them. its because its a good game, and i wanna see updates and more products by that person. u'll be surprised how lil money people in the pda software/games development business make.

i say, take it as a donation for the person to drink a cup of coffee.

really, RM30 onli. cancel one movie u wanna watch lor

Haven't seen one with RM30 yet. Always find them around 15USD. Already got a couple of them. Anyway i do agree with you.

lol gimme another 24 hours roma, assignments killing me

Lol. Take your time. Thanks again. While you are at it tell me the RM30 ones as well .

of the links i posted, a few are around that price, have a look lol. I've updated with a new category in the first post

Trivia and Puzzle, best of the best and what i recommend. i believe u will find several games to your liking

Thanks. I've already gotten two. These games are so addictive. Killing my diamond battery and my wallet

Added on September 9, 2008, 4:23 pmI wanted to try Worms World Party but the trial versions downloaded are always the expired ones and only one landscape orientation. I downloaded them from Handango and the other one is Weblin. Is there any other sites i can get the proper trial version?

This post has been edited by Baronic: Sep 9 2008, 08:53 PM

I bought Text Twist and Bookworm both from Astraware. Still thinking whether i should get Bubble Babble.

My friends prefer the teeter game though. Hehehe.

Excellent thread. Lot's of good games recommendations.

Have a question, when I install a new game, and I choose Storage Card as the location, the icon for the game appears in the Program List (i.e. Start -> Programs). How do I move the game icon from the Programs into the Games folder?

Now that is the program icons.

My other question is the folder in which the games are installed. Some game's file are installed inside the Games folder, while some are located outside the games folder under Programs. How to move all the individual games files into the Games folder?

Hey, is Guitar Hero Mobile compatible with HTC Touch Pro? I'm really eager to find out...

I asked the same question in the HTC diamond forum and "superpc" replied. Anyway, i don't know how to add link to that forum. This is the solution:

Go to file explorer/windows/start menu/programs, create new folder with the name u want, and put the application shortcut into it. You can move your icons into a new folder or existing folder or take them off from the folders here. Say thanks to superpc.

@denver, see what roma said. you cannot transfer the actual game files however. only shortcuts. the only way u can try to do it is transfer game files, delete the shortcut in start menu, create a new shortcut with from the new location of the game files, and paste in start menu. may not work for some games/apps/

@maxtek, do NOT buy guitar hero. it is not compatible with ALL VGA devices

Thanks RoMa_84 and Baronic.

i'm SO SO SO SO SO SO SO ADDICTED TO WWP

i must atleast play a few round when i'm on the bed getting ready to slp!!!!

CREATONIA

When this game was a commercial game, it was, to be fair, average. the graphics were substandard at best, AI path finding wasnt that good, and it was a game i would generally call (had a lot of promise, but didnt quite make it).

Now however, the game has been released to the public as a totally freeware game! simply download the VGA or QVGA version, and get your free activation code! While being average as a commercial game, now that it is in the freeware circle, it must be said that this game is one of the BEST freeware RPG games u can get for now. As a freeware, this game has now entered Baronic's hall of fame! Try it!





Welcome to the world of Creatonia

The world Creatonia is populated with various creatures that may be friendly or hostile, that may be alike or different. But all the wars and feuds stop for the period of the Great Gods Uprising Tournament, and warriors from the very far parts of the world come to tourney.

Your sacred dream was to win this competition, and you manage it. But how can one live with a dream that has already come true? What is the next step? You’re getting terribly depressed after all that euphory. And one day, being in a bad temper, you tell your old Master that you’ve excelled him and have nothing to strain after. He gives you a sly smile and claimes you might be possibly right saying you’re a better fighter but you’re nothing as a teacher. In the heat of the moment you declare you’ve learned all the secrets of the fighting art, and are able to make a new champion out of the least experienced warrior by the next tournament. So, unexpectedly you’ve got a new aim of you life.

There are plenty warriors eager to take lessons from a great master. Those naive newcomers somehow are sure that to be an excellent fighter and a good teacher is the same thing. However, according to the bet conditions, you may teach just one fighter. But your choice isn’t restricted with some requirements - you may take a warrior of any race or specialization, of any starting characteristics (but it only can be a novice), so the whole thing starts with picking up a character to teach.
Game features:

* More than 150 world areas
* 28 apprentices (exclusive characteristics + unique story of life)
* 100 characters
* More than 400 types of items
* More than 150 various skills
* 13 races
* 13 classes (specialities)

@taufic, lol, depends which u prefer i guess. creatonia used to be commercial, now turned freeware.

GUYS, please try out The Quest for windows mobile, RPG game. Due to a lot of piracy, the developers are in difficulty, so try out the demo, if u like it, do consider purchasing it.
