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.

ReRave is a new music game that just launched for iOS, and is quickly gaining steam and will soon be out for android. If your a fan of dance dance revolution, in the groove, stepmania etc, you'll love ReRave. Here are some links to check it out.

well, I hope that they will release it to android. I like games like this.

Yeah they are working on it right now. Didnt take them too long to finish the iOS one so hopefully it will be out soon. I've got it on my iPod and its awesome, cant wait to play on my X with that big ass screen lol.
In the meantime, you can always play "beats" in Osu mode which is pretty similar since both games are based on "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" (known as "Elite Beat Agents" in the US/EU).
I'm glad to see ReRave being ported on android, and it will probably be a decent game, but the guys behind this game (Kyle Ward and Chris Foy) are really fun : They created In The Groove which was a copy of Dance Dance Revolution, got sued by Konami and lost the rights to the game.
A few years later what do they do ? a new original game ? No... They just create a new company and copy another game
I just hope they finish the Android version before they get sued by Nintendo or iNiS
We've got this covered though, with a patent and whatnots.
The android port won't take too long, just some iOS specific code needs to be rewritten.
Yes, I helped work on the game (I'm one of the graphics dudes ;D )
Good news then, thanx !
Looks like it could be fun

I wouldn't say itg is an exact copy of ddr. sure, four panels and you hit arrows but if you have actually taken the time to play ddr (not just one game mind you) and played itg, itg has taken it to a whole nother level that ddr, even now, has failed to reach. so many people are still playing itg and ddr is dying out. it'll be fun to finally play this on my phone. looking forward to it lightning!
keep us updated.

Don't think this will ever come out soon.

Could use a bit more 'soul'. Feels very deserving of a name as generic as "Fight game"
Either way, I like Xperia PLAY exclusives. Does the full version have online versus? That's the one and only way I'm paying $5 for this.

so you're saying the movie "Fight Club" was undeserving?
This game is like Def Jam, instead with kickboxers. On a side-note, Alistair Overeem will beat Brock Lesnar come Dec 30th.
Not if brock can tackle his ass, think brock knows better now not to stand up and turtle with strikers. Live and learn.
It freezes after a match... Anyone else having this?

Rules number 1 & 2 violations will not be tolerated, sir
Another case of graphics over substance. When will devs learn :| they think good graphics make good games i mean there is a reason why final fantasy VII or VIII is everyones favorite final fantasy and not XIII. And it 'aint the graphics.

Now that's what the **** I'm talkin' about!
Seeing Xperia PLAY Exclusive, fighting game, none of those bull**** touch controls, and online play all in the same sentence is music to my ears.
I now have like 400% more faith in this product, and are highly likely to buy when this update drops.
I do hope their mention of "amongst other things" means the production quality will be bumped way up, and I'm also hoping online play packs some kind of lasting appeal aspect. Just being able to kick someone's ass online for experience points leading up to a "Level Up" would do wonders; even if it doesn't actually increase any kind of stats.

Battle of steroids.. Brock will own Alistair w/his GnP skill.. TKO (punches) round 1 or 2.. But I hate Lesnar since his WWF/E days.. In fact I love to watch the replay of his fight against Cain.. But whoever wins on their match they have no chance against JDS.. What I want to see is Anderson Silva move up again to LHW division to face bones..
BTT
I hate games w/ in-app purchase but I will definitely try this game..
Bones will remain unbeatable for a long time, silva is tiny compared to him
And ya, i wouldnt be in a big rush to face jds.

I loved Lesnar's match against Angle when he went for a top rope moonsault & landed on his ****ing head!
Lesnar was FTW for the title & Angle had to carry his almost unconscious ass to the end.
Same as others.. I can only play 1 fight..
There's a 1.01 update for the game, it doesn't freeze anymore
Decided to go ahead and buy it in anticipation of the update that allows online play.
The only thing I'm disliking about it so far is that unlocking characters happens WAY too damn fast. All you do is play one career match, they set you up against someone you haven't unlocked... if you beat them, you unlock them.
I guess that is more time effective, but I'm used to having that whole sequence of playing through a whole arcade mode, unlocking one person, then you get the whole next playthrough to get accustomed to your new unlock. This way just sorta... feels like it devalues the experience of unlocking someone new. I blame Tekken for making me nitpicky about such a small thing
How i wish we can have Fight Night series like in IOS..

just going to wait for Street Fighter 4 for android.
and I do hope they'll release a Tekken title for God's sake.
It's on the Play Store!
...definitely a wonderful game, and known as a classic... but I think I'll keep my sanity for now
Everyone else, have fun!
lol beat me to it! The new HD graphics are a nice touch, never cared too much for this game on the pc so I figured I'd give it a fair shake.

I loved this game as a kid, had it on the megadrive, always got stuck on CLLD
I don't see the point of this being expensive though, it's not a long game, graphics although remastered are still blocky (In relation to other mega-drive/pc/amiga games) and they could have included the sequel released for sega cd with it.
Hi. My first post on here, but trust me, i was stalking this site for two years now.
Hello everyone, and lets get it straight. When I've noticed Another World title, i couldn't believe it, but here we are. The game that changed my childhood forever. Now on Android.
Ace! Next on the wish list - Flashback
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:

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.
