Looking for a comprehensive list of games

[Skoobouy]

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there isn't any. The PocketGamer.org database frustrates me, and is out of date besides. Does anyone have a better archive?

I do. its called the 7 GB of emulator roms I have :D grab pocketnester and pocketsnes and have fun! there aren't alot of GOOD games out for pdas yet (that I know of anyways) give it about 2 years and there will be PDA only games that are good. Microsoft is REFUSING to enter the handheld console market, and are instead promoting using PDAs as gaming machines :D the next implimentation of CE will have DIRECT X BABY!!!!!!

Caution: moderation in the consumption of caffeine is recommendable. :wink: I do enjoy emulation, but I like my ROMs to correspond to the hardware I own.

Actually, even though the PocketGamer.org Games list is in very bad need of updating, their news coverage is so good that I can get by through searching their news posts. I've already found a number of PPC RPGs that are first on my purchase list when I get a new unit. Stuntman Evolution, Everquest, Legacy, and Sorcery. All right, I'm an RPG whore.

Some other games look good too. SkyForce, Invasion (some of the best PPC graphics I've ever seen on there), Warfare Inc., and Flux Challenge look simply wonderful.

Have you checked the Pocket PC Magazine Software Encyclopedia (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_enc/cat.asp?cat=2&name=Software)? I haven't looked at the PocketGamer list, so I can't say which is better, though.

Other tricks would be searching Handango, PocketGear or my Links page (http://links.svpocketpc.com) for "game".

However, I doubt any of those are truly comprehensive.

So how can we access that? :-D (I'm sure you own all the original software for those ROMs, too, right? :lol:)

You know that good games don't have to be arcade games, right? What about games like Snails, Pocket Gammon, Monopoly, Scrabble and the tons of card games out there?

okay, when I say "games" I generally refer to the kind of games I play. There are alot of good PPC puzzle games out there.... but by alot I mean ALOT. I figured it was somewhat obvious with games like bejewled and whatnot, and chose to leave it out. I am a gamer though, and play more.... "gamy" games. For example, I can tell you that scott ramoosamir was the artist behind Skoobouy's avatar :D

well, you can start by collecting every rom you can get your hands on :D And yes, I asure you that I own every rom I have... lol, seriously, things like nintendo roms should be under the ABANDONWARE claus, so I don't really care about illigal emulation
