Old Games for PDAs?

Posted by michael on from the killing-time dept.

Stin Tankin writes "I was looking for games for my PDA when I came across an empire clone for PDAs called Pocket War. I used to love empire. I also have Mame CE for my Pocket PC which provides a ton of old arcade games. These old games run great because they were made for slow low resolution devices. Does anyone know where I can find more of these old games? I'm really looking for something like Nethack for a Pocket PC or Sharp Zaurus."

    This is rogue for the palm, and the controls are actually quite decent.

    Lemmings are out for Palm. Another classic I would kill for is Civilization. I tried it again after years of pause, and it is charming and is still very playable.
