Do Water, Oil and Lava Mix?
It's always fun to see a favorite PC-based game finally ported to the Pocket PC (I was ecstatic when Pong finally made it...). Now, Aspyr has launched such a game: Enigmo.
"Enigmo� for Pocket PC is a 3D puzzle game with ingenious puzzles and clever solutions! Build a mechanism to move water, oil and lava droplets into their buckets. Choose from parts such as bumpers, sliders, accelerators and sponges to bounce, shoot and soak the drops to their final destinations. Be careful, though, because lava droplets will ignite the oil and evaporate the water."
A few additional features are:
� 50 levels
� High-quality music and sound effects
� Includes a built-in level editor to expand your gameplay and share levels with your friends
� High-resolution 3D graphics optimized for the Intel� 2700G Multimedia Accelerator
I've never played the PC version of this game, but this "Pipes on steroids" looks like it should keep avid arcade gamers occupied, especially with its tools for creating your own levels. As usual, you can download a free demo version or the full version for only $14.99 from the Handango site

Although I haven�t played the PC version of this game, I do remember a very similar game for the Commodore 64 that was called Fix-it.
Sigh...how do I miss my C64... :mecry:

That is just bizarre! I don't think I've ever seen a game target a single device. I guess I'll just stick to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 on my PC at home for now. That's definitely keeping me busy.

I got this game free with my X50v, and it's really fun. I got stuck about 10 levels into the game though... bleah.
I remember Tomb Raider for the Pocket PC was only for iPAQs for a while. You needed a crack to install it on any other PPC even though it was playable. I've seen it for sale in Staples though, so I assume they changed that.
I wish they'd release the rest of the Tomb Raider series on Pocket PC, but I think the company that does that (Ideaworks 3D) is more concerned with that useless N-Gage.

The X50v is the only device that has a 3D accelerator. There is no software rasterizer.
