Good adventure/puzzle games for iPAQ 1950
Hi... i was searching for a good game for my ipaq, found the cool looking atlantis redux, but it needs 20mb free program memory and my ipaq only has 12 mb (now i know i made the wrong choice, the basic axim has 64 mb instead of 32 and is faster)... so i bought myst based on the reviews. Boring, slow. And since there is no trial version, only a small video, wich is better looking than the game (same for riven, the sequel to myst) i wasnīt able to try before buy. If there was a trial version, i wouldnīt bought myst anyway.
So, please recomend me good adventure games that can run on my very limited hardware. If anyone remember the 7° guest for pc, or itīs sequel, the 11° hour, thatīs exactly what iīm looking for. And iīll really like to try before buy. I tried spb air islands, i was hoping it would be good but found it boring.

If you still have that copy of Seventh Guest, why not try running it on a DOS emulator? There's a few available (including a port of DOSBox), but the best supported is probably PocketDOS. Unfortunately the link is down at the moment, which I hope is temporary - it's a damn good program. I'd also try pDOSBox, though it's a little less polished.

You may also want to give a try to Fade, Gilbert Goodmate and Broken Sword. They aren't exacly puzzle games (more of "real" adventures) though.
