I think Patience is a pretty cool freeware games to kill time while you are waiting for something.  What other freeware games that you have in your Clie?

I like backgammon.  I'm no expert at it but I occasionally win.

Zork - A classic text based adventure game.

CliRogue - A version of the classic game "rogue" for the Clie.

Artillery Duel - A Scorched Earth clone not HiRes and you will need to dissable hires assist for it to work properly but still a
great game.

BUBBLET is nice.
I think you can still delete it when the trial is up and then reload the prc later to try it out again....

a lot of these can be found on www.FreeWarePalm.com

i STILL love Dope Wars As the Ultimate Freeware game..With all the high graphic games out there, It's still my "go to" game of choice 10 times out of 10 when im on the go and have a lil (or a lot of) free time to kill..

I can't believe I only come across this little gem after I've registered AcidSolitaire. D'oh! :eek:

Oh well. AS is a highly polished game. It would be nice if they could include a similar number of variations as there are in Patience Revisited though.

I really liked AcidSolitaire for the nicer graphics and all the cool features it had, but I was just too cheap to reg it. Patience is damn cool though....can't find that many games in one package too often.

For those who like puzzles, you need to try Pilotski and Vexed. They are really cool games. Thanks to Glorybearer and Grandizer for mentioning them.

you think that Patience is better looking than SmallWare Solitaire?

DanT

Try it before you ask. Check out the version 2.6.2.  It has very nice graphics and 21 solitaire card games for $0.00. Besides, I'm cheap when it comes to games, certainly don't want to pay $15 for SmallWare Solitaire which seems inferior looking than Patience.  The King, Queen, and Jack picture are built-in the Patience card images just like the real cards, unlike the SmallWare Solitaire which just shows K, Q, J and no pictures. 

I made a mistake once for buying PocketChess after learning that you can get OpenChess for free. I won't make the same mistake again.

Nobody mentioned this one. There are lots of PAY versions of it floating around, but this one is free. You'll get hooked in seconds.

Vexed VEXES me! I get so frustrated with that game . . . it almost feels like an IQ test or something! LOL! ;)
