I bought one of the first PalmPilot 5000 Pro, when they first came out, all those years ago....

I used to play a game that I would like to get hold of again now that I have a palm device again (NX70)

It was kind of a puzzle game where you have to fill in a grid with (othello-like) tokens. Every time you click on a square, the pieces around you appeared or disapeared.

I seem to remember it was written by a Brit with a demon.co.uk address...

Ay ideas? here's a pic of what it used to look like.

i dont seem to be able to attach a picture. but just imagine an Othello/Reversi board with 5 round pieces in teh shape of cross dead centre and you can get what it looks like :)

It's OK. i finally found it. An infuriating game called 5x5.

Now if only my XP drive had not died on me I would have installed it by now........

There are quite a lot of games similar to it, have a look here (http://www.palmgear.com/software/answernew.cfm?sid=41B838FD-DEE4-4003-A0EF5B44F05E44BF&quicksearch2=reversi&CFID=6392093&CFTOKEN=73090288)

My personal favorite is PilOth (http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?sid=41B838FD-DEE4-4003-A0EF5B44F05E44BF&prodID=43804), and it is Freeware and Colour and Hires and OS5compatible. So what more do you want... :)

I have no idea if it works on the NX70 - Still rebuilding system... :(

Mikra: It's not really an othello game, it just looks like one... but thanks anyway!!
