I have often wondered why more mouse driven games of the Atari ST and Amiga days have not been cloned yet.
A populous clone would be amazing, and would work so well on a touch screen device.
I know it could be emulated, but it would be pretty bad.
Someone would make a fortune if they released something like this!
anybody made a fortune on pocketpc games yet ?
dident think it was a big market which was why all the big companys were not lining up
have an amiga emulator but never bothered getting it to work
and not sure how well the mouse would be emulated
OK, well maybe not a fortune, but something like that would certainly be very popular, and could easily be licensed and ported rather than creating it again :/
I tried it once on the Sega Genesis emulator on an old iPaq, but it wasn't very good.
I was just curious with all the years that Windows Mobile OS systems have been in place, there seems to be no credible game pads for emulators on the Windows mobile devices, yet I just saw this link on Macrumors for a gaming pad for the iphone:

I know the iphone is a great device (I have the 1st generation version) and very popular, but why doesn't WM get any love?

I'm sure everyone here has seen footage of this awesome game, from the devs I'm just wondering what it would take for even a rough port to WM 6.5, including the multitouch? I've heard of iphone games being ported to other platforms without too much difficulty, and I know there's some really smart people on here, so just curious if it is in any way feasible or if it would absolutely have to come from gameloft's end. In my opinion, this is the first game truly worth the hard work it might take to port it, and I can only imagine it on that big beautiful HD2 screen.
Awesome game, hope the HD2 gets it

You are right it is a good-looking game, but porting it without a gameloft consent will be illegal, and as far as i seen gameloft.s priority is the iphone and ipod touch. I really hope they will start using wm phone.s hardware to bring such games to phones like HD2. Anyway, don.t raise your hopes too high, it will not happen soon as far as i.ve seen. (just take a look at the Avatar game on iphone, the the wm version, first one is 3d and good looking i might say, the second ... well ... see for yourself )

Hmmm Okay
I would like to write them a mail, asking them to develop games for HD2, but a need an email adress to send to, anyone got it?
first of all, we need a proper 3d driver, until then, forget about any game if you want to get some decents fps.
with no dedicated 3d hardware, games like this are imposible on HD2,

Seeing stuff like this really makes me wonder about the future of windows mobile in the consumer sector, i mean look at the games windows mobile has to offer compared to the iphone, they're pretty much all graphically terrible - some barely comparing to snes graphics let alone the ps2 standards of the iphone. Microsoft really needs to hurry up with windows mobile 7, enforce some good minimum requirements and get some good SDK's released. It's the only way we'll see any major shift in decent games to windows mobile, until then most devs will prefer to stick with the iphone or android
totally agrre with you...

Erm sorry but the HD2 has no problem playing OpenGl 2.0 games, even 3d games like xtract work fine, theres nothing wrong with the 3d driver's just how they are used.

Yeah, that's definitely wrong. There's nothing hardware wise limiting the HD2 from playing that game, I know that much. I have electopia and it has quite a few dynamic elements(sun beams, waves coming in, smoke on the horizon, reflections, numerous AI characters) all in gorgeous 3d and runs super smooth.
hmm
I playing all 3D games (xtrakt, experiment 14) without problem i thing those new Chips have no limitations for playing only we need more games..
hi why is this ? im sure the hd2 could handle more? where can i find some better games an apps
Your list may be incomplete. Try MarketPlaceRegionSwitch.

great list of HD2 games
I use the HD2 mainly as a business phone but I have to say, games suck for Windows Mobile. Especially because the likes of Experiment 13 and Crayon Physics (check them both out) show the potential. It's one of the reasons I may switch to a different OS next time round (if the other OSes get Exchange Support nailed).
So true, games for Windows Mobile SUCK ASS in comparison to all the other OSs. I mean, the iPhone doesn't have a 1Ghz processor, but it sure as hell supports games that would make you believe it does. Gotta hate WM market and development for it. Just the crappiest combo all around.
I wouldnt say that at all. i have at least 20 solid games with amazing graphics. on the other hand marketplace sucks in general due to the way Microsoft threw it together. useless search engine to get anything or even know what you're getting is any good for the money you spent!!
overall, there's hope for windows platform, just do research outside of the marketplace. im very happy with my programs. one of my most favorite is garmin mobile xt with 2011 maps. my games... zuma, bejeweled 2, Kiwi, archibald adventures, boneyboy, zeus quest, melt down, xtrakt 2, spinballs, electropia demo, super ko boxing, tower defense, sonic spinball, atomic cannon v3, experiment 13, 10 games for betting. I could go on all night, but again i've been a ton of research outside of Marketplace because i know its useless and over priced at that.
i find it wierd.. with the GREAT amt of pay the folks at MS earn, they might as well hire me because any idea from me will be WAYYYYYYY better than marketplace..
yes i am upset.. the other os will gain more and more users due to their robust apps scene ..

i have to ask you about Crayon Physics...how do you download and install that game.
I have the executable file on my computer but it's not the same as my usual cab files, etc.
can you help me get it onto my HD2?
thanks

(Sorry a little tired to be of more help but...) if you find the game's original website, they have a mobile version to purchase/download - it is not the same executable as you have on your PC (although similar levels I believe).
A bit of googling should be your answer

To be honest all those games are always repeated when this sort of discussion comes around. Some of those games (like Xtrakt) only work with the hacks that some people have given meaning they are not FULLY compatible (anything that needs a work around to work shouldn't be considered compatible). Same with Experiment 13 since the Gsensor should work for that too. The other games are alright, but nothing to cheer about. Some are simple puzzle games that are recycled into different graphics. Some have lame graphics, but are fun to play (atomic cannon is great and probably the best of all you posted). If you look at the iPhone/Android section of games SOMEHOW they are supporting 3D graphics with fluid motion. Newer and different versions of games come out for their platform too. WM is so rare to have someone develop something new for it. Especially recently with the OS going out the window.
we're seeing official apps for everything else, but what about a playstation network app? theres apps to support googles gtalk and google's youtube why not a playstation network app? i really dont care the xbox integration since i have a ps3
That would depend on if MS wants to support a rival gaming platform. Possibly, if they wanted to draw more people into the phone and thus the ecosystem, picking up new xboxers along the way.
Possibly not if the benefits/profit/new users versus the detriments are not heavily weighted toward the beneficial side. But many who own the PS3 also have an Xbox. I, personally, have neither. But, if I ever bought one, it'd be an Xbox. I'm just not gonna pay $500-$600 for a video game console (PS3).
I don't think there is anything stopping someone from creating an app but as far as native support I believe there is no chance in hell it's going to happen. This is about ecosystems and Microsoft has their own.
Eventually as WP7 gains traction Sony will have to address it with some type of App. I wouldn't expect gaming integration with PS3 because XBL is deeply rooted in.

ps3 is $299 now
I think he meant the PlayStation Suite App, just like the one for iPhone/iPod Touch and Android. The only thing the app does is let you see who's online and what are they playing, some news, blogs, and media stuff.
It depends on either Sony and Microsoft whether they should build an app for WP7, but the PS Suite app you see on iPod/iPhones doesn't let you play PS games, its rather like a social app, so Sony might develop one for WP7 and Microsoft might approve it as well since it will less likely/have no affect on gaming on WP7.
Just think of it as the IGN app on WP7.
