Default What game would you like to see on Pocket PC?

After seeing someone asking about The Sims on Pocket PC, I'm curious what games people would like to see. I'm thinking games from other platforms or classic titles that would be feasible i.e. in terms of performance and interface, not wild suggestions like Quake3 etc. Any ideas?
I would love to see Populous converted. This is a classic from my Amiga days and if it can run on a machine of less than 8mhz, I'm sure the PPC would do it great justice.

I'm waiting patiently for Worms Armageddon for the PPC due to be released August 2003. I play the PC version every day at work against two coworkers. Can't wait to try out the PPC version.

Otherwise I am writing a PPC version of Nine Mens Morris (Mühle) myself that should be ready in two (or three) months.

Well I am still holding out for somebody to port the original Warcraft by Blizzard.

Come on if they can do Age of Empires then they could surely do Warcraft.

One that I am definatly waiting for is the port of Warlords II which I think is in Beta at the moment.

I'd like to see Slingo ported over. I have a WindowsCE version of it for my Philips Nino, but it doesn't work on my iPaq

How about Crazy Taxi? It's on the Game Boy Advance already.

Yes we get everywhere - especially places renowned for their beer :beer:

The darks stuff here is great - unfortunately we have the weather to go with it. Ahhh for a nice hot summers day and an ice cold middy by the beach.....

BTW Bob Morrison doesn't sound like a particularly German name...

Rollercoaster Tycoon! If they can port SimCity 2000, they should be able to port RCT.

I would LOVE to see Sid Meier's Civilization 2 - maybe 3

If they made Baldur's Gate 2 a turn based system then I'd like to see that - although they'd have to port a game that takes 4 CD's to install...
