MicroFluxx is a computerized version of Loony Labs Fluxx game.

It is available here:

Hmm, let's see, my top 10 ways to procrastinate:

Pocket Mini Golf Extra
Warfare
Billiards
Cubis
NESem (Nothing is better than the original Super Mario Bros.!)
Collapse
Breakout
Tetris
RootBeer Tapper

[terpkristin]

Wow, the more I find from No Sleep Software, the more I love those guys.
I'm already using QuizWiz and Due Yesterday for school/studying (I'm a premed student getting her Masters in Aerospace Engineering....glutton for punishment!)...now I see that they have Fluxx for my Palm!!! Hot damn!

As far as my 10 most played games...this has to include things I played so much that I beat them to the nth degree and thus removed them from my Palm...in no particular order:

*Aldon's Crossing (beat it every way I could think of with different characters, etc., it's no longer on my Palm...maybe I should find it again...)
*Legacy (still working on beating the Death Dragons)
*MicroFluxx (just installed it and played 5 games before I finally won one...)
*Bike or Die! (GREAT game that doesn't take long)
*Gamebox Asia
*PDAMill Snails
*Pocket Mini Golf (and PMG eXtra)
*Kickoo Breakout
*Chess Tiger
*Gamebox Solitaire

comedic4 has "rootbeer tapper" on his/her list! -I had no idea this game was available!! I just downloaded a trial! was that the original name of the game?? rootbeer tapper doesn't sound right... although it is the same game i used to play as a teenager at the arcade!

[COmedic04]

Eric,

Yeah, isn't it awesome! :) I had this game on my Commodore64 as a kid and when I found out it was available for Palm, I about died! Originally, I think it was just called "Tapper", or that's what I remember anyway.

Ryan <--- A "he"
:rolleyes:

[dpascar]

Dragonfire (because it is free), Aargon, snails and megabowling.....

[gyffes]

Hey, Kristin, check out the product(s) that Astraware produces. Top quality graphics and sounds (if yer into those) with very addictive gameplay.

[eric2002]

i think it was just "tapper"... yes this game rocks! -i'd love to also get dig dug! anyone know if "dig-dug" is available for the palm???

[Tixx]

[mareuter]

but mine are:

Championship Hearts
Cubis
Space Trader
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
Warring Nations
Asia

[kennyd]

Stuntcar (This is the oem game that came with the Zodiacs. 3D, Stereo Sound, vibrating rumbles, stupid dramas with mulit cast actors between races : ), super high jumps, fast...)
GTS Racing
Zap!2016
Stuntcar
Zodtris (This is a Zodiac enhanced tetris game...freeware)
AcidSolitaire (I only have this because it came free with the Zodiac)
Stuntcar (This is an OEM race game that came the Zodiac's. I only wish it was available for other devices so more people could talk about it)
Spy Hunter (I'd really like to have the zodiac enhanced version of this, looks really nice...too much $)

I could put stuntcar down some more but I'm afraid that the bleek reality would really begin to set in. Kennyd is not much of a gamer. I like the driving games but I actually stink at playing them. I think I must have been too active as a kid : )

[fssia]

Mine is as followed:
1. Plant Tycoon
2. Tradewinds
3. Cubis
4. Bejeweled
5. Insaniquarium
6. Space Trader
7. Monopoly
8. Bounce Out
9. Chainz
10. Dynomite

Since I bought Plant Tycoon, I hardly played other games anymore. I used to play Cubis a lot (like everyday) before I came across Plant Tycoon. Then i was hooked on Tradewinds for few weeks. When I finally bought PT, I have been hooked til now. Bejeweled was the 1st Palm game I was hooked. Then came Space Trader and the rest. :D

[clicclic]

I'm still getting through all the great freeware games. I bought Warfare but haven't installed it yet:
1. Vexed (http://vexed.sourceforge.net/)
2. Bee (http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/bee.shtml)
3. SP (http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/sp.shtml) or here (http://park15.wakwak.com/~n_i/pm/menu.html)
4. Astro Miner (http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/astrominor.shtml)
5. Mars (http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/mars.shtml)
6. Seven Seas (http://www.astraware.com/palm/default/sevenseas?skucode=0023-012-0012) (demo is great fun too).
7. Void (http://www.palmgamingworld.com/adventure/void.shtml) (not really for POS 5. Will crash on exit)
8. Space Trader (http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/p.spronck/picoverse//spacetrader/STNoFrames.html) (duh). Possibly the ultimate freeware piece. Vexed is more addictive though. You can see it here (http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/spacetrader.shtml) too...

[terpkristin]

You know, going through this list I see a few games I've tried and loved...mostly I'm just too poor to buy them all at once.
I definitely love Bejeweled, TextTwist, Insaniquarium and I just got hooked on Super Bounce Out. These games will be purchased soon I think.

Are there any known problems with running any of these programs from an SD card?

If you are using ZLauncher or PowerRun, these games will play just as if they were in RAM because ZLauncher and PowerRun actually copies them from card to RAM, then when you're done using the games, ZLauncher and PowerRun delete them from RAM. I haven't actually tried playing them right on the card though, but I image they would be very slow.

[fssia]

That's one scary avatar Tixx! :eek:

Agreed! :D

For any1 interested in finding out more games, I've compiled a huge list of PalmOS freeware games..... give the word and i'll post it...

yeah, clone similar to breakaway, it was out a long time ago during the OS2 and OS3 era. It ain't OS5 compatible. Instead, they came out with an OS5 update with color. Screenshot below. The paddle got cut off tho, but it's there. I can email that and other now OS5 compatible classic games to any1 who leaves their email (subhunt, tictactoe, puzzles, hardball, minehunt)

[ackmondual]

If anyone has any comments, questions, copmliments, complaints, critiques, etc. about my list, please post and let me know. Thanks.
