Sim City

[Brokken]

I know there's a Sim City clone and a an actual Sim City game available for Palm. Both of them are based on the first game. I for one would LOVE to see an updated version like the one that PPC devices have. So MUCH better than ours!
Anyone know if there's any development to bring this game to the small screen?

Game software on the Palm side definitely needs to catch up!

Atelier sells SimCity as a commercial version. This has not been updated for a looong time and it looking pretty old. It is lo-res and doesn't do a lot more than older versions of SimCity.

The freeware version is very limted and the amount of development has been very sparse.
The idea of SimCity (and any similar games) may not work out as well on a Palm OS not because of the concept of the game, rather, what you use the PDA for ... and often, SimCity is not one of them! :)

There is a pretty good clone of Sim City called pocket city. You can find it a sourceforge.com. And the best part, it is free. There is also a high-res version

amoser: could you provide us with a link ? I hope it's for palm :-)
btw. the the sim city for palm doesn't work well on my TG50 :-(

It doesn't work on my NX, kept getting fatal resets when I tried to make a new game.
But if you want to try:

Ditto on my NR70. Crashes at the same point of the game.

[amoser]

Umm the link for the game is http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/pocketcity/

About the crashing, the game as of right now does not support the NR or the NX but he is working on it. Did you try the high res version of the game?

Yes I did. It crashed my NR70u. Oh well... I'll wait for the update.

Why does it do that?!?! GRRRrrr! (log off that is!) This is the only site where my cookies get lost.

I've never lost a cookie here. But I don't use IE either. :)

I have a full version of Sim City, the old one. It worked fine on my IIIc and T615. But it freezes on my NX.

Me neither. I'm a mozilla user. This site keeps forgetting my info from time to time.

That freeware clone is awesome!!! But what sucks is ppc gets newly coded apps like Age of Empires and whatnot, and where we have less overhead and just as fast hardware, weren't not getting these new updated games :(
