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!

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!!!
Is anyone else REALLY wanting this game on android as much as I am... gameloft is usually VERY good at releasing games for Android fast after ipod/iphone etc. however this game is taking forever... the last word about it was at the end of April... and here we are almost middle of june and no word at all
Decided to google this and wow, its just like WoW! Looks awesome. Maybe if enough of us email gameloft, they'll get this out quicker. Gonna shoot em an email myself for this.
I actually think it looks pretty cool too. I am just skeptical about buying gameloft games. Do they still have it where if you purchase the game from one device that it cannot run on another device?

Hello,
I'm a newbie here and figured that I should give back to the community so I have two beta codes to give away for the Uncharted 3 Beta on the PS3.
It is first come first serve so if you are interested message me and it is all yours.
online sucks. cant wait to play the story tho!
It isn't all that bad it takes a little getting used to. I have been playing online since part 2. I enjoyed it a lot. All of my old buddies are on it and we can't wait for November. The beta is running smoothly unlike the first few hours it was up.
Hello, I am trying to get some feedback if I should make this into a game on the Android platform(I built this 2 years ago for Windows Mobile 6). I hope this is the right place to start this thread
Any feedback is welcome and I will try to answer any questions you might have. Thanks.
I am not yet allowed to post links here so search for "Glassless 3D on Samsung Omnia i910 (Rubik's Cube game)" on youtube. It should be the first movie (from bboysil user)
I'd love to see this on my mobile
Good Brain Game
I really need this game.
Love to see my small sister and brother to solve it.
Hell yes!
I could always use a rubik cube on my phone
I would like to see this too.
Thanks
Wow, thank you guys for the replies, I didn't think I would get any.
I think I will start developing it for Android then.
Great !! i hope it'll be awesome :thumbup::beer:

That looks amazing! Any idea on how long it might take?
I am new to the Android platform so I guess it will take me at least a few months until I release the first version...
The fact that I am new to Java and OpenGL is not a problem but the lack of spare time is..
EDIT: For a quality game it will take me about a year I guess, but I will release a first version sooner and then keep updating it.
I am not going to say this game is out yet, its not. Just wanted to bring it to peoples attention, I found out about it a little while ago from TLRtheory (awesome.... should get to know him)
Anyways just wanting to point out that for the first time in my knowledge that a game will be releasing for Android first... THEN...... iphone.
Here is some info on Symphony of the Origin:

Cant wait for this to come out.
Man, every time I see the trailer for this, my mouth waters lol.
...the people who typically dislike Kemco games may actually even love this one. It's definitely on a much higher level of quality than anything else they've released on Android.

Agreed. It does look to be above the cut compared to their prior releases, and not like those were bad.
