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."

    Amiga is set to release a player for PocketPC in April. So far they already have a player for Linux and Windows. Eventually, they plan on having a platform where you can use the same apps on cell phones, set top boxes, PDAs, PCs, etc. A week ago on TechTV(Screensavers), Bill McEwen of Amiga demoed how you could play the exact same game binary on Linux, Windows, PocketPC, and WindowsCE. For more info check out Amiga-Anywhere or Amiga.com. To see the TechTV video clip, download the MPG from one of the mirrors listed here.
