Post you Fav WM6 capable game

Hey all,
While im waiting to pick up the missus or in a boring meeting .. i like to dial up my fav Hermes game ..
I thought this would be a great collection if everyone started pitchin in.
Test

Pocket Heroes - No contest
This game is the reason I bought a 3200MaH battery. Its a clone of Heroes of Might and Magic from back in the day and translated beautifully to the PPC platform.
This is the only software I have paid for for my phone, and its worth every penny.
Check out www.pocketheroes.net

if only call of duty 2 worked on the Hermes...!

i use FPSEce Playstation Emulator when i want to play a PSX game
check it out www.fpsece.net

tomb raider : )
greatest series ever in the history of the universe
and showing off 3d graphics on my phone is amazing and a great way to be like iphone shmiphone

pdamill makes a great pinball game called Maggot Attack and Fireball. Both are great games.

Can someone post the old ones like - space invaders etc .. here ..
Lets start a repository for within this thread.

Is it freeware? I know there are several versions of Space Invaders available for purchase.
If you are looking for pirated software you are in the wrong place. Warez is not tolerated at XDA-Developers.

Clearly ..
No one was talking about warez here bud.
I think the title is pretty clear.

I wouldn't say the title was all that clear..."Post you Fav WM6 capable game" and when I read "Can someone post the old ones like - space invaders etc .. here .. Lets start a repository for within this thread." I thought you meant to post the actual files. No offense intended, and now that the air is clear on the warez subject, let the discussion continue...
I normally only keep one game at a time on my PPC for emergency use . Funny you should mention it because currently I have Space Invaders installed.

2 suggestions
NetHack (free dungeon rpg)
Conquest (cheap risk clone)

iPhone Games on Touch HD ??

Is it possible to install and run g-sen enabled iPhone games on Touch HD ???
Only thing in iPhone which is beating touch Hd hands down are the games available for iphone . One of my colleague is rubbing it in all the time by showing amazing games on iPhone which is not possible on WinMo devices like diamond/pro or now HD.

games
Not sure if there are any games like that, but show him the things HD can do that iphone cant do. My daughter has an iphone, she doesnt play games, but other things such as tons of programs, Tom Tom are just a few. She walks away....

Oh yeah, thats also my question. I had seen on an IPhone of my friend "Super Monkey Ball". I fell completely in love with this game... But for sure, I'll by a Touch HD, can I port this game for windows mobile? Or does it exist already this game for wm? I really want this game.. Or at least, knows anyone here something equal? Greez, cad^^

I don't think it will be possible to port the games - besides the different Operating Systems there is one mayor difference in using the games -> MultiTouch

Yes, but for example "super monkey ball" doesn't use the touchscreen at all (besides for the menue, but this isn't multitouch), its a game only for the g-sensor. So, wouldn't it be possible to play the same game on the touch HD? Its suuuch a great game, really!!! Please, is there some hope? Greez, cad^^

Actually both even have similar processors, but the main problem is they run different operating systems, so if you dont port the application itself you would need some kind of emulator which might not only exceed the present processing power but also might not offer the same experience as if run natively.

Or would it not be possible for someone to figure out how to run Iphone OS on HD? Or is that even possible?

With a screen with twice the pixels than the iphone don't spect the HD to be able to move the screen on games smooth like iphone.I think only games using 3d aceleration can be smoother.... And why is not a Direct 3D standard on WM ?

I really like the bowling game on the iPhone. Is there an equivalent for WM?

Im interested in this to. If we currently cant port iphone games, then what games out there take advantage of the g-sensor and 3D drivers inside of the blackstone? It has to be more then tweeter.

hi !!
Is there any news about that...because to be honnest, I'm a little bit disapointed by HTC... I thought that more games would came for it...

Games!
Yep there don't appear to be any good games, the current crop such as machines at war or call of duty 2 have various bugs because of the high resolution. Apparently the hd actually has a custom graphics chip that HTC wont allow developers to access.
I wish someone could make HTC understand that with this screen if there were games comparable to the iphone the HD would have mass market appeal and blow the iphone away.

yah!!!
That is exactly what I also think... lets wait and see, maybe they need more time

an iphone emulator for hd
hi guys
there are some issue that we should notice :
1. i think we as developers should take participate in this and make emulator to run the iphone gamse on blackstone , waiting for game companies to figure it out is not a good way.
2. the multi touch problem will resolve in WM7 , so just be a little more patient fo it.
3. blackstone really need some thing to resolve this problem , if there is not , iphone will win.
4. please come together to make it right.
thanx all

Unfortunately, an iphone emulator is out of the question -- the two devices are too similar in processing power for one to be able to emulate the other. Running the iphone OS is also unlikely, given how much trouble there is even with running Android. All we can hope for are native ports of games, which, given the current market trend towards the iphone app store (e.g. warfare inc.), is unlikely.

i dont know ive i may post them and ive its freeware but i have a lot of games/funny stuff for the blackstone
dont know ive i may post it because i got it from somewhere else and i think some programs are cracked ive a mod can help ill upload it somewhere and send the link to you so the mod can check ive i may post it

porting games == having the sourcecode and doing the changes required for it to run on another platform
2 problems with iphone source code which makes it hard to port
1. it's objectiveC rather then c++ / c or c# which are the languages more used on wm
2. it use cocoa the apple version of .net kinda which don't exist on wm
another option is
redoing the whole game
writing it from scratch but thats a lot of work

i think ms has done a good job of persuading devvers to jump ship from iphone to winmo. i think that, by wm7, gaming will be far more commonplace on windows mobile.

games
Well there is a website with some pretty good freeware games. This is the link
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
Has games like supermariobros, metalslug, and canabalt. They are all freeware but they are pretty fun.

Ikick soccer game

I was curious about this game.
Its a soccer game were you have kick up the ball, here is a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1opl2TYEatA
And this is the site for the game: http://www.iphonefootprint.com/2008/...-review-ikick/
It's an ipod game but we have a Blackstone so it will be hard to play on our WM phones. Can someone make this ?
Thx in Advance

yeah its an i-pod game so GO AND BUY A I-POD or realise you dont have one and be happy with the 1000s of win mo games available

LOL!
Check your answer, i dont need that answers..
Maybe i'm not the only one who likes this game.. Maybe more are interested
IPHONE:O HELL NO! I like my THD Way more than the iphone
Are there people who know if there is a cind of game like this for our Phone ?

Iphone rag! Iphone stinks!

you have to be thankful the iPhone exists. Thanks to Apple, now developpers in other firms (mostly HTC) kicked their arse off to keep up with the competition Apple put up.
In the end we get better devices than iPhone. But if Apple hadn't done anything you would still have a lame device

WOW, what a truly useless program.
The funny thing is that, most of the App Store games are like this.
Apples philosophy = quantity over quality

Im so dissapointed..

I dont see any android for hd7 soon, Its apps are boring and even tho it should have good apps already like angry birds and plants vs zombies and whatever, I dont see them coming to wp7... Im so sorry I chose hd7 instead of iPhone 4, I wanted something refreshing but got a piece of crap which im stuck with for the next 2 years....

You should do your homework BEFORE you shell out money...

Im starting to think that microsoft is a piece of crap company, Just like the xbox..

Who cares?

So you are disappointed about not getting an iPhone but want Android instead?
anyways both the games are coming in the next 3 weeks with angry birds probably coming next week as an XBL game.
edit::
lmao, so u think xbox is crap , you must definitely be a PS3 owner whos stuck with an offline machine since the past 3 weeks.

Thanks to that I got games for free, PSN + for another month and free music forever =]

don't forget, you got your personal info leaked to the world for free too!

wow is this really gonna turn into a thread bashing the PS3? Its the only system I have and I like it the best, its unfortunate that the hack happened but what can you do? Its getting fixed now and hopefully it wont happen again. 360, PS3, IOS, Windows Phone are all great in their own ways, apparently none of you can understand that though as you have to bash whatever you dont have or like.

Most of the information leaked was old information and the brunt of the stuff that mattered was for Japanese people.
Not that it matters.
I think PS3 owners are more likely to accept an outtage because many/most of them don't pay for Online Play - contrary to XBL. If XBL goes down everyone that plays online is watching their money trickle away (Time is money, as they say).
I think the biggest hit Sony will take will come from the SOE MMORPG division. All of their games went down for 2-3 weeks and I have no doubt a lot of people will just play another game because 3 weeks in an MMORPG is an eternity. It can kill guilds and demoralize the playerbase, things like that...
That being said, the XB360 desperately needs a browser, USB Keyboard/Mouse Support, and perhaps even some version of a Flash/Flash Lite player that works decently, along with decent DLNA and the ability to load media onto the HD instead of just streaming it from WMC. I think the PS3 will take a hit but it will still sell decently because it is infinitely more flexible than teh XB360.
I personally got the 360 because it tends to have better Role Playing Games on it than the PS3 - which seems better for people who really like FPS Shooters and stuff like that...
@ OP: Why would you buy an HD7 for Android? The Android sets that were out when the HD7 released were monumentally better from a hardware standpoint with much better screens and GPUs, among other things (FFC, etc.). I'll never understand the logic of getting a WP7 handset and then coming here to cry because some random unsupported OS hasn't been ported to it yet... Could have done yourself a favor and gotten an HD2 for cheaper, IMO. It's literally the same hardware with a better build and different buttons... For shame

I disagree, this whole gen is all about shooters, shooter and more shooters, its ridiculous! Thats all that sells nowadays...and I think the 360 is usually the one that people associate with shooters for some reason. Maybe because Halo and Gears of war.
Either way Im tired of shooters...and I hate COD...

And you don't think RPGs like Fable, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, and Elder's Scrolls sell, among other things (Drivers, Action/Adventure, etc.)?
Sorry, does not compute
No one is forcing you to play shooters. There are hundreds of games on either platform to choose from. You don't have to be at the mercy of a few online game reviewers...
I think the PS3 controller is so superior to the XB360s for FPS and Drivers that if I was into those types of games I wouldn't have even considered an XB360... I got the XB because it was cheaper at a higher HD size (in addition to reasons stated above), too bad that HD is largely useless compared to a PS3...
And yea, those exclusives probably have a lot to do with it

Obvious waste of a thread is obvious..

[Discussion] Games you want Ported to Windows Phone

On my blog, I recently wrote an article about games I would like to see be ported to Windows Phone. Mango is slated to be the biggest update to Windows Phone yet. With Mango bringing features like socket support, there is a huge potential for a whole bunch of games being made for and ported to the Windows phone platform. With that, do you know of any games that you would like to see a Windows Phone port of? Also, do you agree or disagree with the choices of games I made (in the blog post) that I would like to see be ported to the Windows Phone platform?

Anyone remembers Pathway to Glory for the original NGage ?
I'd like to see a remake of that game.

I had fun with Zenonia, Peggle, and so many other iPhone games. Sadly, doubt they will ever be ported to wp7. iOS gets all the best apps and games, just the way it is.
Oh, and they already have a few clones of the games you listed on your blog. Duck hunt and angry birds I know for sure have clones on wp7.

I treat my phone like my Kinect: it's nice to have around but I can only see myself playing casual games with it. So Halo, Final Fantasy or whatnot I don't care for. 3 games I'd really like would be Cut The Rope, Game Dev Story and Words with Friends (I don't think it's as good as Alphajax but it's cross-platform). There are probably others I can't remember (Angry Birds is out in 2 days).
To the above poster, Peggle is a PopCap game and given their great relationship with Microsoft I wouldn't rule it out for WP7.

nope, I've never actually heard of that game before (until now)

Age of Empires.

There are several games I'd really love to see ported to WP7. But what I would probably like best is a remake of good old Lemmings. And possibly Push Over. Hmm... Turrican 1 and 2 would be nice as well.

Forget ports, I want to see Microsoft treat this as a real Xbox portable and get their game studios working on games like PGR, Forza, Kameo, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, Halo etc. And also encourage other big developers on the platform to give us DS/Vita quality games.
Edit: Also are you not aware Angry Birds comes out Wednesday?

I was not aware until now about the release date of Angry Birds. As for everything else, Microsoft is promoting Windows Phone devices as having the ability to play games integrated with Xbox Live, but Microsoft is not promoting it as it's chief function (but I do get your point). I do agree that Microsoft, in the Windows Phone division of the Xbox Live department, should be encouraging game development companies to bring some of their popular games and game series to Windows Phone.

they should port minecraft

That one would fall under the category of Emulators, and as far as I know, Microsoft has not let any emulators into the marketplace yet.

wow Pathway to Glory was really THE BEST mobile game ever, the graphical details, gameplay and background score were way ahead of time for a game released in 2004 on a platform with limited hardware capabilities.
sadly this is the only decent video I could find: http://youtu.be/6PYRx1Q9ltk
edit::
Limbo would also make an amazing port for WP7
http://youtu.be/Y4HSyVXKYz8

I would kill to see Gamevil's games ported to WP7. I played Zenonia 1 and 2 before making the switch and now I wish I could play 3. Unfortunately Gamevil let me know that Native Code isn't supported so they can't port them. Sad.
Peggle seems a must though.

My vote goes to the timeless classic Wonderboy, love the game and the retro soundtrack.

I dont see any decent racing car game on WP7

Now that you mention it, Gran Turismo on Window Phone sounds like a good idea. For you Nascar fans, I'm sure a Nascar game could be made as well (pending popularity and demand for it, because low popularity + selling has made it a low priority for gaming companies).

true. though a few homebrew NES ones are already floating around here. once you have a dos emulator, imagine all the good oldies that you can play.
and com'on, it's a WINDOWS phone. can't we at least have some command line love?

I would like to see OpenTTD
