I've had enough of the Tetris/Breakout/Bejeweled/card game derivatives. Why is it that Zap!2016 is STILL the best action game out there?!?!
Somebody port Metal Slug with full Game Controller support, please.

There are lots of good high-res action games... you just have to know where to look! Check google and palmgear, as well as handango and pdarcade and newsgroups! There are some labryinth games like the one you made a mockup of, but none with those caliber graphics. Plus, who could forget astrocommander, xcade, scummvm, stone age, kickoo's breakout and taktik, rayman, pocket city, bebop, and other classics?
Here's a look at what's to come!

Motocross Maniacs! Don't deny it! Oh, I would love to see that game on POS. If this is ever going to be published, you just won yourself a costumer
mshaf, thats the games sold ! Its that simple. If you hate thos games, then simply dont buy them.
but puzzle games are usually best fitted for most PDA folks, cause most PDA users play with the PDA only while they are on their way. So it wouldnt make much sense to play some epic and huge RPG splitted into 5 minute pieces ;) .
But there are also folks like you which uses their PDAs for playin not just at train or subway, but also at home for example. But this is just a small friction of the complete user base.
So if you are interested minly in games on a portable device check the new GameBoy SP. That one looks really professional (so you wont look like some too old kid when you use it at subway ;) ) and is really small and offers every game genre which is avail out there. Or simply take the long term approach and wait while PDA user base become larger and therefor also the user base for games which needs more then a few minutes of attention span ;) .
BTW That Labyrinth game looks really amazing and fits perfectly into the 5 minutes subway gamers market. So if it plays as good as it looks (and usin "analog" stylus input is the best solution for doin so) Im surely gonna play it.
That motorcycle game looks bad ***! didnt you a few games for astraware? Also, I might have a taker on that bike game. I will check for you.

This is like a flashback....
EXCITEBIKE!!! This would be a great and possibility an easy game to do. Need a scrolling background, and some sound, and where in! But easier said then done. I learning CW 8 now, and this tough. I can't image doing code for an app like Green Machine! Good luck to someone who can do it!
E-mail Astraware, there GREAT programmers, and there sound on apps rocks!

A lot of these developers are hobbyists. They're doing this for fun. They may also be learning to develop by doing projects like these. Don't complain :) PCs also have a LOT of really awful games.
