For those of you that remember Space Trader for the Palm OS, there is a newly released beta version called Dark Nova.
http://code.google.com/p/dark-nova-android/wiki/BetaInstructions
I am not affiliated with these guys, just posting about one of the greatest games ever made. It is still in beta, and needs some work, but still, best game I have ever played.
hmm.. seems a lot like DopeWars but with some space-style graphics and more confusing gameplay.
This one has potential but they have a LOOOONG way to go before they will have a polished game ready for the masses.
There is no native way to close the game, going to different menus opens layers of windows which started fc'ing on me. After about 6 fc's I was back at the main commander screen.
Even if it doesn't fc you still just go back one page if you hit the back button so if you warp to another planet and hit the back button then you are instantly back where you started??
Good start though. Now that they've proven their concept I hope they make a game out of it

You clearly have zero idea what Space Trader is.

care to enlighten me?
*edit- I played it for 10 minutes or so and found several things that are almost identical to DopeWars. Buying and selling stuff, buying and equipping weapons, traveling and being stopped by a raiding party, the bank...
Seems like a very similar concept to me..

Its what I said it was. SPACE TRADER. It was a game built for the Palm OS and kicked major ass. I guess you could find similarities with dope wars, but it is different.
And yes, it is still in beta. The more people that help out, the quicker it gets polished. It is brand spanking new. If you ever played Space Trader, you would certainly LOVE this game, as I believe it is an exact replica, but with better graphics, and I think they added more missions.
it is similar to dopewars. jsut because it is set and space and has some diffrences does not mean he isnt right.
Its nto a bad start for a beta, i am sure the origonal was great and fans of it will liek this.
you dont have to get defensive though when someone differs with your opinion or compares it to something else

I said you can find similarities, and we both said it has its differences. I don't think I was being defensive. Plus, if you never played the original, and haven't really played it, I don't think you have standing to compare it really. You can speculate, but at least say "never played it, but seems similar to this...".
Would you say all FPS's are the same? Probably not...I think you see what I am trying to say.
Dude, are you paid by the devs to post these bs responses? Man, if they're similar, they're similar. Get over it. You just said u weren't being defensive and continued with another defensive post.
And yes, all fpses have obvious similarities and that's why they fit into the fps genre. It's not like the dude called it a dopewars RIP or clone.
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
you are being defensive again. I acctually have played the origonal i played this and see that is is the same game as origonal however the new interface is cluncky and there are TONS of fcs. No one said it is the same. We said it was similar and under your new criteria i CAN say that. I hope they can make it work and make the FCs go away and the interface a little more polished.
i wouldnt say all FPS are the same but i would say they are all similar.
I'm not sure if this is a zone defense or a 3-4 he is running..All I'm seeing is blitzing!!
ROFL, paid by the devs. Yeah....I get .00001cent for every download lol. Sorry folks. LAST TIME I will ever post any new beta that is out there. My fault for assuming people with too much time on their hands could be mature!
Middle Earth (the original) Space trader, as well as Dope wars, were once Amiga CNet BBS addon games in the late '80s - '90s. They were also made into "doors" addon games for IBM BBS, back in the days before the WWW. Similar and fun. Though you played against other people and only had one turn every 24hrs..

Seriously bro, calm down. Or just stop posting. You are the only one in this thread who has not been mature about YOUR thread.. I thought it was a decent start of a game. My comparison to DopeWars was a compliment, DopeWars is a classic and I restore it everytime I flash a new rom
I think there is a lot of potential for this game. I would suggest that you follow your own advice about not posting about any more beta software if you can't handle a little feedback that isn't "LIKE ZOMG WHERE HAZ THIZ GAME BEEN ALL MY LIF3??!!"
I'm glad they ported your favorite game of all time to the EVO and I hope it matures into a paid-on-the-market worthy game..

DOOD, My first DopeWars experience was on my Ti-83!! Damn those were the days.
I remember how freaking revolutionary it felt the first time Sierra built mouse control into a King's Quest game (I think it was KQ5?)
*edit- I just realized that was you! Looks like that crack in the case was a legit beef I got mine replaced, crack free!

Haha Ty ty.... BTW ur latest cm theme based on flavored ice kicks complete ass

If you like Space Trader, I highly recommend checking out similar games all based on Elite.
I sense a lot of chaffing in here. Everyone take a minute to go look in the mirror and remind yourself somebody out there loves you.

WOW and I thought I was the only one that remembered the old BBS days... Remember legend of the dragon?
hey this space trader game is just like dope wars!!!
I know this has been discussed before but I'm issuing a challenge.
With the release of the R2D2 themed Droid I am disappointed by the quality of Star Wars themes for the EVO. The ones that exist are weak (kinda like the Droid one) and us fans deserve more.
So....if anyone has great theme making ability and wants to devote some energy into making a seriously bad a** Star Wars theme (hopefully flashable) that doesn't slow down the system, you might be considered an earthly god by some.
Yes...this is a bit geeky but can't let the Droid fans beat us now can we?
Wow....
no one to take on this challenge? Where are the genius theme builders at?
I love STARWARS but I don't have an EVO to make it. Sorry!
***bump*****
I would love to see a good Star Wars theme. If someone can make one or point me towards one already made I would be greatful
Fanboyz right here lol love star wars i agree to it would be nice to see a bad ass theme for this phone
I don't know of a specific theme but most of the font packs have a couple cool star wars fonts in them
This would be awesome..
2nd app release for me.. I used to play this great BBS game called legend of the red dragon (lord) and yes, showing my age on this one
Anyway, created an api, installed the game on my server and then created the app.
Its free too.. has 2 inapp purchases but not required for game play..(remove ads/buy extra gold)
Some details:
The premise of LORD is that a Red Dragon is wreaking havoc in a town where the player has recently arrived. Multiple players compete over a period of weeks to advance their skills and to kill the dragon. In order to achieve this goal, players must face combat to gain experience. Once they have gained enough experience, they must face their master at Turgon's Warrior Training and advance in skill level. Advancement presents stronger enemies and masters; a player must reach level 12, the final level, before challenging Turgon himself and attacking the dragon.
As a BBS game, LORD uses a text-only interface.

That was a great game... I would love to port that one too.
Any feedback guys?
thanks
So many fond memories of LORD.
Installing LOBD right now, will try it out on my lunch break
Recommendation for your next app: Swords of Chaos, another great fantasy BBS RPG
(Or alternatively, Planets - LORD in Space!)
We should be able to press/click on a players name and see some info about them. Whatever our character would see just by looking at them( if they are heavily armed, strong, fast...etc). Maybe an avatar too.
I was a lord master. I could rise to the top so quickly admin reset the server due to complaints I was 'hacking'.
I loved renaming the strongest weapon in the game to "a stick". Probably why people thought I was hacking. Loved lord and am now getting into this blue dragon game.
Keeps saying that my session timed out

Im glad you like the game.
I just tested and the game seems ok for me.
thanks
Fun game. Finding the options are too small. I was fighting a higher level enemy and was almost about to win when I accidentally tapped run vs fight. They are too small and close together to easily select things. In the weapons and armor stores you have buttons. Perhaps buttons for fight and run in a row, then automatic options in the next row?
Pretty cool game. I like it. Its simple and I didn't want to put it down last night.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
Not avalible in your country prf... ( serbia)
Where i can download LOBD?
Loved lord. I was just a kid but that game was sweet! Looking forward to trying this one out

Is there a forum for this game? Strategy etc?
Sorry, no forum, that would be a neat idea though. Ill see what we can do on our end.

Google.. working to get it back in the market.. I am attaching it here for you though. This is also the newest version. I have started the process of putting most of my apps on amazon since google basically can close your account for zero reason and no recourse but send them email which will go unanswered.. sorry.. a bit pissed about the whole situation.
Before your reply i pulled the apk and emailed it to myself.
What's the difference between my ooold version and this?
(downloads before answer anyway)

I removed option to remove remove ads via purchase and the ability to buy gold both of which used inapp purchases but since google screwed me.. I am releasing it to amazon which does not support google inapp purchase.
Its been over a week that google killed my account and still no reply to my question of why.
Just wondering since it is 25 October and the required Silence is over, wouldn't KitKat be a great Halloween treat? Kitkat and nexus5 as well? Trick or treat?
Maybe. Please use the existing threads to post 'these kind of things', if you know what I mean..
It would.
Except people go out trick or treating, horror movie screaming or drinking on Halloween.
So no bad idea for a Halloween release.
I am decided to buy a good mobile that run all apps and games smoothly. Please suggest me best mobile in cheap price.
Thanks
S8+
Simple short answer...
P.s. i dont work for samsung and i own s8+ and "good games" on android the few there is if you dont catch pokemons or idk 14yr fortnite progamer ( j/k ) .... Then i still cant find a game that is giving this device any troubles, root or no root ....
Hope helped
Peace
But if topic name is what u ment...
Xcom enemy within
Still no.1 game on android and no pay2win , story might be silly but its like star wars... First time when u hear I am your father... Jaw on the floor but on 10+ viewing ...same thing obi-wan vs vader fight... But can u say star wars isnt at least entertaining if u arent dead inside if course... And game looks good and honestly there is a bug that ends your run if occurs and just my advice - keep calm restart no game is bug free... And if u want value ? Im on ironman impossible save scum combo and gives me little trouble to finish , but still never had clean run always one country must switch sides... And after i clear that goal, next one is already planned , looks impossible now, like ironman, before beating it and after i will get clean run win...
Lone wolf mode it looks even for experienced user like myself... Nope thats not possible... Until i beat it too... Trust me xvom is that good
P.s. its my personal opinion if someone has diffrent on best android game... 8 dare you - speak out! I wish i found one but cant... Xcom 2 never be ported on mobile...
P.s. if dont want to pay for product u dont know if u even like it... Monkey with google and basic english finds it free... I admit i didnt care its not legal until xcom... 5.49 might never reach devs even one cent of it... But did buy it anyway... If 2k didnt get it google im sure got some $ and ok its for keeping xcom still on store for those yet to meet Central or have 99% to hit shot miss target... Might rage first 100 times unt u learn , it gives u more fun because... Now u need to wave that dude somehow cuz he dead if no teammate can save him from facing sectopod face to face or chryssalid jumping out in range to get close... And it was last move turn end... My first one i saw after alien movie and... Almost equal scare for me age 8
..
In short hove xcom a try
I think you may check the spec & price of OnePlus 8.
