There was an early version of DOOM that had keyboard support. I used it on my E-125. Forget where I got it from though.

most keyboards have too much lag though. Definitely trying to game with my HP foldable keyboard on the 2210 is no good - even though it works.

hey dont panic......do you know where your towel is?....

bummer...i wish there were more.....the pocket pc needs more buttons or something...

they should make a rubberized coating or something...it would be easier to hold....and you would not drop everytime you feel the need to play Pac-Man.....lol...PPCs need more buttons....or game controllers....something

at present, arcade/action gaming on the PPC is not so good...the only games out there are RTS games...and as always solitaire....hmmmm

any thoughts?

Darxide EMP (http://www.frontier.co.uk/games/darxide-emp/) is a pretty cool space shooter, The demo is fun. Rayman Ultimate (http://www.gameloft.com/pub/ray.html) is a nice side scroller, Give one or both a try.

there are a few companies that make attachable controllers, i think for the ipaq 3800s mostly.... someone posted about that a few days ago, i believe. Anyways, i wouldn't mind if the buttons on the 2210 weren't so recessed. The problem is amplified when it's inside of its Vaja case. I think i may try to rig up some sort of kludged button extender type thing fitting inside the case that sits above the buttons. we'll see how that comes out.

the funny thing my first computer had a motorola 68000 proc, ran at .7Mghz, and had 128K RAM.....lol(it was a color computer 3, which i pounded on for about 11 years)...what videocard?......

how far we have come......
