It's free and released under GPL :)"

    Yeah, still doesn't answer my question. A PalmPilot has a DragonBall CPU and 1meg of ram for the pro model.

    I think the Palm games probably just seem to "suck" more to people nowdays because they're only experienced on that small screen, with limited user input devices.

    At least the C64 had the advantage of displaying to a normal sized TV screen (or monitor, if you were lucky).

    I've actually run quite a few Palm games that I thought were impressively well done, yet I don't ever play them more than a few times. The user experience just isn't that great on a little PDA.
