Stuntman Evolution is a brilliant game, probably the best original Pocket PC game I have ever played, and this is a justifiably auspicious introduction for a game that is fervently defining its own genre and is a genuine reason for Pocket PC gamers to rejoice."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/stuntman.jpg" /><br /><br />"Rejoice?" Did he say, "Rejoice?" Over the years, I've seen a lot of people get excited about their Pocket PC hardware and software, but it's still fun to see somebody who is obviously very intensely "into" a new game. PDACorps' DumJT seems convinced that Stuntman Evolution will soon be THE game for die-hard Pocket PC gamers, and his <a href="http://www.pdacorps.com/default.asp?key=pages/stuntmanevolution.htm">review</a> reveals the many reasons why he feels that way. His only real complaint about the game is that it does NOT include any weapons of mass destruction. ;)<br /><br />Dang. I don't know if I can find it in my heart to "rejoice" over a game with no WMDs! Oh, well...Go ahead and read the full review for yourself at PDACorps and let me know what you think.

You've got me. Is there a Pocket PC version of Roller Coaster Tycoon?

[WillyX]

The big question, does it go fullscreen VGA?

[Brad Adrian]

BTW, I'm not much of a gamer, so what does "isometric style" mean?

Angular grid. Instead of looking at a chessboard dead-on from the top, look at it from the side and an angle.

Please, don't tease me like that. I'm a huge rollercoaster nut (if you couldn't tell by my avatars). RCT would be a welcome addition to my Pocket PC. I'm not sure how it would work on such a small screen though.

Now, No Limits (http://www.nolimitscoaster.com/) could work, at least the simulation part. That would be pretty slick. Limited usage but a lot of fun. No Limits lets you build and ride coasters. Showing off a new coaster on my Pocket PC would be fun.

OK, I guess I'll get back to work now. Enough dreaming about coasters...

How about The Incredible Machine on a Pocket PC? ;)

I'd doubt this can do full-screen VGA; games that can do that, and at a good framerate are at a minority.

There is Amazing World, a TIM clone, but it's pretty bad.

In other words, looks a bit like 3D but doesn't have any vanishing point, so it's sort of 2,D then.

It's been done. I'm working on the review right now. Check out the Amazing World (http://amazingworldgame.com/).
