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

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
OK so lately I finally bothered to take the plunge to finally grab a mame emulator I was just to lazy to start getting the games back etc.
So my question is exactly what kind of games cab you get running on these emulators personally I want killer instinct working but to no avail will it work, I'm using mame4droid ATM but I've only had a few games working pacman, space invaders, bombjack is what I've tried so far

tiger mame i think is the best plays most games i want like streetfighter 2, alpha2, alpha3, the third and all metal slugs plus have the save state did try killer on an older version but did not run http://apps.tigerplay.info/ have ago its free
Since i want to play all metal slug episodes (and not just 1 & 2), KOF 2001, 2002 and 2003, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and other recent roms, i have no choice: TigerArcade
Tiger Arcade. absolutely. Plays NeoGeo CPS1 CPS2. And it has multiplayer support.

Still completely useless to me as it doesn't run any of the MK games. They are the only games I actually want to play on this and they don't run.
hi gusy

tiger arcade have save/load status , i don't know how can i use tiger mame full version
Killer Instinct will not run on the Xperia Play. The versions of MAME being used are far too old for it to work.

I play Killer instinct on my phone via Tiger Arcade. And it is actively still updating. Its just that the app is no longer oin the android market. The app is free however if you want to use save/load states it costs $5 to purchase, I paid and its the best thing. Nothing like playing Dungeons & Dragons with save option.
I have played Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat on here before, I think though on the newer version the Killer Instinct no longer works, however MK does. I think v2.02 was when KI was working, but dont quote me.
It is on the SlideMe market:

I can assure you MK does not work in tiger arcade (neither do MK2 or MK3). I tried it just yesterday.
MK1 works on mame4droid, albeit with glitchy sound and occasional slowdown.

Hey I'm using same emulator as you and I can literally play hundreds of games with it
Are u using the correct rom set?
Its great now it supports scanlines
Altho no save option sucks
Its the best Mame emu imo
Perferbally 2D since my phone is not the moat powerful, but 3d is fine too. Also classic games (gba, SMEs, etc) are welcome too. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the quick reply, but yeah I've tried zenonia2, put a good dozen or so hours into that before I realized that it was a bit too repeitive for me haha. I guess i'll try the newer zenonia 4 but with the pay2win model gamevil put into that I'm not even Sure if I will enjoy it hahaha

If you have a tegra 2/3 device try soulcraft thd (might work on non tegra devices now though. Great graphics, still in beta I think).

Soulcraft is not optimized for anything really.. On my One X and it lags constantly. You play for 30 seconds, and you're done with a map, and then there's the loading screen. Honestly, you look at the loading screen way more often than actually playing the game.
Avadon: The Black Fortress was released as part of the Humble Bundle, just requires a 1280x800 or higher resolution screen.
Not sure if it would be too resource intensive, but I'd recommend Dungeon Hunter. Playing the first few quests really resparked some Diablo nostalgia.
Haha I had the lite version on my iPod touch a while back, damn that was fun . I did not know that it was on Android!

If you are after classic games then download the emulators for the play store;
'Gameboy Colour A.D.' = Gameboy/Gameboy Colour emulator and is (free)
'GenPlusDroid' = Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Gear and Master System emulator (free and paid versions)
'SuperGNES' = Snes emulator (free and paid versions)
'Mojo NES' = Nes emulator (free and paid versions)
'N64 Emulator' = As title (free)
'PSX Emulator' = Playstation One emulator (free and paid versions / 'FPse for android' is better but only paid)
'Marvin - ZX Spectrum Emulator' = As description (free)
'CPS2HD Emulator' = Capcom emulator (paid only)
There are of course many others and alternatives to the ones mentioned above but thought these were worth mentioning as many have free versions to play with.
I haven't had the time to test it toroughly, but you might want to look into Delver: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5pbnRlcnJ1cHQuZHVuZ2VvbmVlciJd

I've really wanted to play gba and Snes games so I downloaded gameboid and Snes9x and Snes9x works perfectly without a hitch but on gameboid I get some bad sound glitchyness which annoys the hell outta me, which makes no sense as snes is a harder console to emulate than gba
Sent from my HTC T328w using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, SuperGNES, AFAIK, is only free if you don't want/need to save. If you want to save you have to pay. Snes9x EX is free and based on the free, open source Snes9x (SuperGNES is optimized for Android, so it may be faster on some devices).
SNES harder to emulate than GBA? It's a decade older, more or less. You may be right, but it's not logical.
GameBoid runs fine on my phone, but I have a pretty solid device. I wouldn't play anything requiring quick fingers, though. Not with touch screen controls. What you want to do about that is, get a PS3 controller (about $30-$40 shipped on Newegg) and Bluetooth pair it to your phone. There's an app (Sixaxis) for getting it to work with games.
I wouldn't expect anything like Oblivion to come out for Android, but I'd love to see something like Torchlight. (To hell with Activision and Diablo.)
Oh, there are a few Nethack clones on Android, but I'm sure you don't want that pain. Nethack is the ASCII-graphics game the original Diablo is more or less based on (random dungeons, dungeons with random monsters and loot) but it is notoriously hard.
Hi
I want to get know what emulators You are using. I'm asking for this because i had to change a system for ICS. And my favourite emulators (from *oids series) lags as hell on ICS and I'm looking for oportunity. I want to ask You for write a name of emulator - system, and why You are using it. In google play there are lots of diffrent emulators (lots of them are crappy).
OK lets start from me:
Frodo C64 - Commodore C64 - only one good emulator, plays almost all roms. Good speed (sometimes laggy).
Collen - Atari XL/XE - one of my favourite emulators of all time on android. Plays all games, great speed, quick saves, XP pad can be assign.
TigerMame 4.0.0 - arcade - good emulator based on Finalburn code. Neogeo,capcom games works better then on the other emulators. Fast, simple, fun (and there are DIP switches in last update !)
UAE4Droid - Amiga 500/600/1200 - best. From last update (AGA is now support) plays almost all games, hard disks are now avaible, XP pad works GREAT. Love it.
My Boy! - GBA - i look for good oportunity for oid version and I found even better. Works in full 60fps. Fast, lots of option to set, qucik save/load, light sensor. Just awesome. One of my favourite.
SNES 9x EX+ - SNES (Super Famicon) - SNES is my favourite game system. But this emulator is lot worse then snesoid (but snesoid is laggy in ICS). I cannot find anything better... Only one quick save/load slot. Some games works laggy (for example - Pinball Fantasies).
MD.Emu - Megadrive(Genesis) - Just like SNES 9x EX+ - it's not best. But SEGA CD games works. Only one quick save/load option, some games are laggy (for example Virtua Fighter 2). But better then laggy Gensoid.
NES.emu - NES - as above. One quick save/load. But it works in full speed without any lags, and all games works.
GBC.emu - GBC - I'm still looking for good GB/GBC emulator. This is good but not great. I'm still looks for a emulator that will play games from GB like in GBC (colors - not stupid filters).
FPSE - PSX - BEST psx emulator of all time. Fast, almost all games just works as oryginal, qucik save/load works great, lots of options (to make game works in 50 fps). I love it - and I will never change it .
Mupen64+ - N64 - I thought that N64oid will be best. But on ICS N64id "O"button open menu !!! Shame. Mupen64 works good, good games compatybility but it's works slower then N64oid...
I like DroidEmu the most. It's have many emulator inside it, easy setting and cheats, but PS emulator is separated.
Yeah - Droidemu is good. But on XP is unplayable - no button for options and for close emulator (only home button for get back to Home screen).

ePSXe have a good potencial - but it has less options, and for me - works little bit slower then FPSE.And besides I like options in FPSE (I know all prons and cons for all values).

Yeah. I really need to install this emulator. I playd a lot on it on Nokia N-Gage, E90 and Samsung Omnia. I never try it on Android device. Thank You for reminder!
Jrioni arcade and mupen64 are great emus for me!!
I have to completely agree with My Boy!. After using GBAoid for awhile, I had believed it was great until I tried to play one of my favorites, Mega Man Zero series. At first I thought it was just in my head when I noticed the millisecond lags in the game (when rushing in attempt to score A or S). However, when I tried the same file on My Boy!, there was just no competition. :good:
TheVicious, I noticed you had stated "light sensor" for My Boy!, are you saying that it works with Boktai as well? If it does I am set.
I read somewhere that it works. But I cannot manage to turn it on (mayby is that because I have wrong rom file). But sensors works with Wario Twisted (gyro sensor) and rumble pack. I will try make a solar sensor to work (for now works only L trigger+ d-pad). When get something I will write here.
this is my emulators that really really worth to install :
GBA.emu
MD.emu
Sene9x
NEO.emu
Scummvm
FPSE
NES.emu
GEMRB
Mame4droid reloded ( i know that tiger arcade is better , but unfortunately , i can't buy tiger arcade aand unlock save/load option . paypal i blocked on my country )
the emulators that i'm waiting for stable version S:
ppsspp
NDS4droid
Dolphin ( when this will be stable ,i'll change my lovely xperia play )
In the extremely rare instance that I do pick yester-decade's games over more refined newer creations, the .emus by Robert Broglia are the best of the best.
The -oids are more popular for being free and having time under their belt, but the .emus are far superior in every regard.
Guys don't forget Jrioni emulators
and play the best game of all time
"I loved this game. I used to not eat lunch at school, and go straight to the liquor store to play the arcade game after school with my lunch money."

Love the PCEngine emu, play Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire atm, really great shmup!
For me, after trying a lot of emus i m using :
-Retroarch for gb, pce, megadrive, megacd, fds, arcade/neogeo
-Epsxe for ps1
-Supergnes for snes
-Jnes for nes
-afba for cps3
-N64oid for n64
-Myboy for game boy advance
These are for me the best for gamespeed fidelity and graphics, interface.
