It's free and released under GPL :)"

  1. Addictive arcade games for the palm at last? by Circuit+Breaker · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I still play (emulated) C64 games on my PC - they're lots of fun, and are very addictive, though somewhat lacking in the graphics department.

    I find it strange that the Palm, and generally all modern PDAs and cell phones have 20 times as much power as the old C64 in every measurement, yet most of the games suck.

  2. Nope. Not for me. by JK+Master-Slave · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The people who put out things like this need to think further about their target audience. People like me have PalmOS 3.0 devices running on 68K processors. The 'suits' who buy a new PalmOS device every year have the new thingies. But they're not the folks who will be interested in something like this.

    Oh well.
