Im having difficulty in finding games for this phone.
The only ones ive got which are worth playing are Poker and 10 pin Bowling from the microsoft website.

What games are worth looking for? I know there is an Age of Empires game...
Hey,
heard about scummvm?
It's a lil Virtual Machine for old Games like Day of the Tentacle and Indiana Jones.
Scummvm is designed for point-and-click adventures.
There is a PocketPC Version also.
look here:

I love it, but most games are hard to handle, so you have to try a lil bit
Have fun...

Inspired by your thread i tried to search for age of empires
I found this Site http://www.filaomobile.com/
It is linked from a german site which says AOE Gold 1.25 is free downloadable for PocketPC. But it's not possible for me, to open that site, cause i'm at work and Webpages in Category "Games" are blocked
You could give a try, maybe you'll find aoe on that site.
MS are giving away Texas Hold em for free again.

turn-based strategy games?

Are there any good turn-based strategy games out there on Android? I came across the old Military Madness game and had some nostalgic fun which got me to wondering. Or any oldies I can play on emulators?
I'd also like to play some of the old LucasArts/Sierra adventure games but I think I read the ScummVM doesn't work on newer versions of Android is that correct?
gbcoid and gameboid are the best gameboy emulators. If you don't want to pay for an emulator that lets you save, I use GVBA for my gameboy rpg needs...
i have gameboid and i usually look for turn based rpgs, some examples i got are pokemon, final fantasy, fire emblem, golden sun, riviera - the promised land
www.conquerclub.com
It's obviously not an app, but it's the best turn-based strategy game out there and you can use it on your phone via the browser.
Thanks I'll check it out. Been trying to install some SNES strategy roms and when I get them to download and/or work, half the time it's in Japanese which doesn't make it too easy to play, lol.
You might want to check out UniWar. I tried it on my old iphone, and they ported it over to Android. I'm not sure how large the online population is anymore though.
Advance War 1 and 2 are the best

those are for the gameboy advance so you'll need an advance emulator

[Q] Open Feint, online multiplayer, Gun Bros and other questions (long rant)

Having come recently from iOS to Xperia Play, I 'm finding its online multiplayer severely lacking compared to iOS. There are some questions deeply rooted (lol) in my mind which I can't find answers for and hope the knowledgeable people here can help me with.
First, I am no Apple fanboy (though I respect their products) , I prefer playing games with physical buttons hence my switch to Xperia Play. However, comparing Gun Bros online multiplayer iOS and Android versions I must ask:
1) Why does the game Gun Bros ask me to have a GameSpy account and a wifi connection when on iOS I could play online multiplayer IMMEDIATELY via GameCenter and even via 3G? (Well, the connection was sometimes slow, but it worked).
2) Why is the game forcing me to open a Facebook account in order to play online? Personally I despise Facebook and will never use it. The iOS version did no such thing.
3) Why does Open Feint NOT provide online multiplayer the same way GameCenter does on iOS?
4) Are there at all any games I can play on my Xperia Play using on-line multiplayer the same way GunBros does in iOS version? I mean, two players doing the same level co-operatively where I can see the other player and his actions on my screen.
4) If there are such games, am I am ok with just Open Feint or do I have to use some stupid additional app like Facebook or GameSpy?
Thanks for any answers and sorry if I sound a bit negative. I do love gaming on Xperia Play, it's a lovely handset, I just find its multiplayer features so far very limited.
I'll try and answer your questions as good as i can, allright?
1) God knows. It's the Developers decision, how he manages stuff. And you can bet your ass that it's a different developer(team?) vor the iOS and Android versions.
2) Same as 1.
3) GameCenter is by Apple from Apple for Apple.. it's on every iPhone and provides such functionality. Android does not have such a standard (yet?).
4) Am not the type to play multiplayer games. I emulate most games i play (PSX, GBC, SNES, GENESIS) and i only have 2 other XPeria Play users as friends.. that never really play the type of games i enjoy.
5) (Presumably..) Game developers will probably provide their own servers, or you'll be able to run your own on your handset. On iOS such fucntions cannot be implemented, so developers HAVE to use their own Servers (correct me if i'm wrong here, though).
All in all, iOS is the simplier variant of .. pretty much anything.
But if you want REAL customisation, aswell as a real swiss army knife at your hands - Android is much better.
(How did i end up in a iOS vs Android phrase.. i don't really..)

"Devil Buster" - my android game and a 2d engine.

Hi guys,
For a few month now I have been developing a 2d engine for android, as well as a game in it which I called "Devil Busters".
At this point, I wanted to show you how far I got. You can download the first 3 levels from
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=engineDemo.com
in case you like it and have a blog/facebook/twitter, you can help fund the project by sharing this link

Thanks!
A game engine that allows you to create angry birds clones?
How original.
If, however, you're just showing the physics capabilities of your engine and you can actually build games that are not related to angry birds, then great work.

Thanks for the reply. ) I'm not saying, that my engine should be used to make CLONES, rather I'm trying to explain for what kind of games it is suited the most. :cyclops:

[GAME][1.6+][ALPHA]Killing Spree - Local Multiplayer 2D shooter

Update:
I rewrote my game KillingSpree from scratch (#madewithlibgdx) and I need your opinion.
Link: KillingSpree
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sid0F3etopY
In solo practice mode (as the name suggests) does not let other players join the game. This is pretty basic right now. It just generates levels from a text file and I didn't add a lot of sophistication to it.
If you start a game, other players can join in using their android devices.
Sadly, I have tested this game only on powerful devices - nexus 7 (2013), samsung galaxy s5, nvidia shield(controller supported !!) Please let me know if there are any performance issues.
Thanks!!
