Any multiplayer internet games on PocketPC?

Would love to be able to play stuff over Wifi.

Snails has online multi-player but right now I think it only works in WM2002 and the PC version. They are working on getting around some problems with WM2003. They're support has been pretty good so far so I expect they'll have it all working very soon.

Incidentally, the multi-player will work on your local network so you could use your wifi to play your WM2003 PPC against another player using a the desktop pc version on the same network (or another PPC for that matter).

I suspect that this isn't quite what you asked for, but I enjoy ludichess over Avantgo. (www.ludichess.com) Chess (a two-player game) stretches the definition of "multi-player" a bit, I admit. The play is more like postal chess than OTB. Still, if you like chess at all, check (no pun intended!) it out.

I just want something were I can log on to a server and play with random ppl :)

Chess... that reminds me of something I saw on freewareppc.com today. I haven't downloaded and tried yet.

HellChess (http://hellhound.nl/hc/feat.html)

The site says "play online with your friends or total strangers via Direct Connect or the HellHound Masterserver!"

Has anyone tried it?

[gregmills]

OK, I tried out HellChess and it's not bad as far as chess games go. It's a little bit rough around the edges but it works. I don't see any option for any kind of networked gameplay. Perhaps that feature is only available in the PC version.

I just found a turn-based battle game coming soon.

Can't wait for my x30 to come to be able to play this online. Guess I could use my 2215 but I'd have to go through all that trouble of putting in my wifi card. :wink:

Isn't PocketQuake something like 18 megs with the engine and the game pak? I thought about installing it once but decided that the screen is already small and the controls take up half of it so I figured that it would be hardly playable.

But then I didn't realize that online multi-player worked. Even so, I wouldn't think you would last very long online if you playing against PC users.

Try it in Landscape mode against another PPC... great fun :mrgreen:

There was someone working on a MMORPG for PPC but I can't find the link now.

I found some flight combat games from OmniG with online multi-player. I don't know anyone who has tried it out though.
