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
Howdy Folks,
I'd like to expand out of the TF/Honeycomb app list with this emulator list. Not sure how to make this a sticky or if I can. If you can please do. Please post any games or emus that work for you and I will update the OP.
GAMEON! =]

Do you want decently playable with the sound off games?
Thanks Stuntdouble!
@Sam, I'm going to try as many as I have time on so bring it on. I'm sure some people's favs might be odball to others so anything goes.

NESoid Lite - Super Mario Bros. 3
edit: Is anyone else having trouble with sound for Star Fox? It works until the gameplay starts. I know there are issues, but I thought it would be all sound or no sound.
N64oid (latest version) - Super Smash Bros - works almost perfectly (some characters are missing eyes)
love the thread but unfortunately haven't been able to get any games working on psx4droid or fpse so far
Oposite to the thread title, what I couldn't get to work was Any Mega Drive/Genesis EMU or GB/GBA EMU's
Working is...
N64oid v1.1.4
ROMS -
Zelda OOT
Zelda MM
SNesoid v2.2.2
ROMS -
Zelda ALttP
Super Mario World
Also managed to get the above to work with
WiimoteController v0.5b
Tiger Arcade (Neogeo, Capcom & Cave) does not scale correctly. Honeycomb issue, since same issue on A500 and Xoom, but not the gTablet (Froyo).

I'm focusing on PSX games and EMUs now and found that some of the ROMS come in different versions which do not always work but found that they have to be extracted to produce a .BIN file to go along with the .CUE. Maybe this is a similar problem with the EMUs you mentioned above.
If you can list some details on how far you got.
~DC
DevCake,
with Gensoid I was testing version 2.4
Tried .bin .smd and .zip with multiple versions from different sites all had same results. In Gensoid at select rom stage. select any of the roms, screen goes black for 2-3 seconds then your taken back to the select roms page.
Same with all Sega emus.
Rikki
EDIT - Gensoid v2.4.3 works
Also Below Hybrid stated Gameboid works, I only got it working with v2.4.4
Gameboid works flawlessly for me, automatically adjusts itself landscape/portrait.
Pokemon Emerald, a few DBZ games and a gundam game is all I have tried.
My only complaint is that the touchscreen d-pad is really bad for quick response.
is n64oid root only.

Nope. Emulators are legal, you just have to get the ROMs yourself.

So far no ROMS work on the psx4droid emulator. Got the newest version released on the creators site.
roms I have tried are:
-Final Fantasy 7
-Crash Bandicoot 3
-And not even the BIOS loads.
I get unexpected error

Twisty works (runs z files like Infocom games) but the text is really small and there's no way to adjust it, also doesn't go portrait. There's a 2.0 version floating around but i haven't tried it yet.

I've had some luck with FPse getting megaman to load but had issues with the controls. Give FPse a try, I should be trying more games this week.

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
Sent from my futuristic device using brain signals
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.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
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
market is blocked on my cauntry , also buy tiger full version is blocked on m,y cauntry .
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
please suggest some good games for this phone. I haven't found the 3D option that interesting. the games that already game - nova, gulliver's travel, racing, etc are pretty lame.
is there any thing out there that was maybe ported from a computer or a console and is on the phone? hopefully nothing too old?
Search the forum for GTA 3,Counter-strike or u can root your phone to play tegra games.Everything is in the forum.Just do a search
will do. I am rooted now.
and what is a tegra game?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tegra games are games that run exclusively on devices equiped with a tegra processor such as Optimus 2X.You can run tegra games on non tegra-processor phones by using chainfire 3D.
Now,the games with the best graphics for O3D IMO (non 3D) are Modern Combat 3 (amazing graphics),Tintin HD,Shadowgun,Need for speed hot pursuit and many more
GTA 3 is good too but I didn't really like the graphics compared to the games above
Check Out Real Racing 2 As Well...
best games
you can find a pack of the 3d games which install to external sd card saving a lot of the internal memory space. if i find the the link i will upload it or there is a method to move the games to external memory.
p.s try sonic. the file name is .apk
infinity blade 2 is my best game as of now also thus johnko1 mention above modern combat3 and tintin hd
Hy, ive got many gameloft games, such as Backstab 3d, Shadow guardian 3d, Ethernal Legacy 3d etc. Ive installed Chainfire 3d, with the 3 plugin (qualcomm, powervr, nvidia). But i cant get any to work, after i DLed the rest of the SD card files, game starts, shows the bootup animation & video then black screen and exit.
Ive tried to search a solution here and also with google, but i wasnt able to find any. Pls help if you can
Best regards
Bertram
here you go http://www.gameloft.com/download-games/android-games/most-recent/ alot greate games most of them work on optimus 3d! also check out gta 3,reckless racing 1-2,pinball arcade,sonic 4 episode 1,bangbang racing,dead space,blod and glory,worms,riptide gp,shadow gun, also you can try emulators like n64oid (nintendo64 emulator) you can get that on slideme.com or fpse (playstation emulator) thats just some of the greate games for LG optimus 3d!
Anyone tried to play Fast 5 hd? I tried to play this game but it always gives an error that files can't be downloaded. Gameloft officially don't gives fast 5 for optimus, but some ppl play this game on Motorola razr, which is the same cpu and gpu. You must Google fast 5 droid 2 version to try. Why it can't be launched on my optimus 3d? I think something must be changed that our optimus will be recognized as droid etc. i changed the device model in build.prop but it is still recognized as lg optimus 3d
my favorite: DEAD SPACE. Play it with headphones. Great graphic, great made controls. the creepy music and fx makes your heard runns faster...
Our Optimus 3D GPU is PowerVR. Use Chainfire 3D for others such as Adreno and Tegra.
If low space internal SD problem occurs, just transfer your game data to external SD and use "GL to SD" to run it from external SD.
This is all my favourites.

GTA 3 doesn't work. installed fine. once you run it though it makes it to the credits and after that it's a black screen and freezes phone. if you try to skip before it also goes black and freezes phone.
N64 Goldeneye is a bit laggy and the controls are horrible!
Megaman X not bad.
Super Mario World good so far.
please help with GTA 3 and Goldeneye if possible.

You have no problems to run games like Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Subway Surfer, Templer Run. I don't have in mind all names but you have google play, for sure if you're on stock rom and you have the stock build.prop in Play Store will display only compatible apps in most of cases.
Ok, and now for bigger games with Sd-data and stuff:
- Fifa 14
- Virtua Tenis
- Modern Combat 3 for sure it works, I don't know about MC 4.
- Angry Birds Go ( You find this game on Play Store for free )
- Dead Trigger
- Riptite GP
- NFS Most Wanted
- GTA 3 and Vice City
- Farming Simulator
- Brother in Arms 2 ( Free Play Store )
- Real Football 2013
- Battlefield 2
- Dead Space
- Mass Effect
You can choose Good luck !
