While I'm waiting for my Pocket PC to arrive, I've done some searching to see if there are Pocket PC projects for the games listed below, but haven't found anything. I'm just curious to know if anyone has attempted them for the Pocket PC, whether they be emulated, ported, or programmed from scratch. I know there are mediocre clones for at least one of these games, but that's not what I'm after.

1) System Shock
2) Command & Conquer / Red Alert
3) Baldur's Gate 1/2
4) Icewind Dale 1/2

With Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, I realize that storage and possibly resolution are an issue. System Shock and Command & Conquer can likely be emulated using PocketDOS or DOSBoxPPC, but I don't know how successfully (someone has suggested that System Shock would run way too slow, despite it being a 12-year-old game).

Has anyone attempted to emulate these, or know of related projects?

You may want to check out Warfare Inc., which is a near-clone of the early Command & Conquer games. I'm not aware of much in the way of successful emulation of PC games. I'm not saying it can't be done, I just don't know of it.
