NOTE, i have posted this list on another thread on 1src, but decided to start a new thread for more awareness and better management. I'm gonna split it up into 2 posts so it'll hopefully be easier to manage and read.

For a list of freeware apps (non games), visit here
http://www.1src.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90200.

Freeware games I can think of. Find 'em using google (using search phrases like “freewarepalm” + <name of game> or “palm” + <name of game>) or sites like www.freewarepalm.com, www.palmGamingWorld.com, and www.palmGear.com.

http://www.emuboards.com/invision/i...showtopic=14045
tintama** from same dev as next game, shot lasers from below to manipulate an oversized, Picachu looking ball to the target areas. While RocketCHU was hard, it would’ve been nice if this game had a difficulty setting and other options. Got through both in the end though.

lrjet** lode runner clone w/o the ladders and pipes. Guy uses a jet pack instead to get around
grunion~ The zip file is named bol.zip, but the PRC file and name in the Launcher screen are named grunion.prc. For both my z71, T3, and on a LifeDrive, the color mode just produces a blank screen. Sound is still there. I hear changes as I tap the screen to manipulate the environment and hear enemy movement, so the game is definitely underway, but I can’t see anything. There’s also a monochrome mode, but unfortunately, that’s UGLY as heck. I guess it would’ve been much better if a grayscale mode was implemented like all of N.I.’s other games, but this one’s the exception. Hopefully the dev is aware of this and will update with a fix.

MORE ACTION FROM ANOTHER SAME PROGRAMMER
Fruit Swap*
PacDude100
TetriCrisis The latest version is shareware. The one before that is still freeware if it's still avaiable

ASTRAWARE TITLES THAT ARE NOW FREE

Round Up
T-Blaster A game to practice Graffiti or typing
http://www.astraware.com/register/pdaessentials/
Astro Defence** A clone of Missile Defense, but with a twist of Asteroids. The link to this link was first posted on April ’04. As of end of May ’05, it’s still working. Get it while you can. They may take this down when (if?) they update this game for hi-res

ARKANOID/DX-BALL LIKE GAMES
IR-Pong 2 2 player via IR
Ping pong clone
hardball seperate OS5 compatible version available, breakaway clone
aala* seems to have some level bugs here and there, but quite intense and variety
The Prison* breakaway and escape all your balls to the top of the screen
Ladrion break all the blocks. Plenty of items and block types to keep the game spiced up. In hi-res color too.

PC PORTS
NOTES: These are noncommercial/non-retail ports of PC games. As instructed by the devs working on these projects, you will need to find the original PC files associated with these games loaded preferably onto a large SD card. You may also need UDMH (Unlimited Dynamic Memory Hack), a shareware app with a trial period for lesser handhelds to allow more RAM usage to run these games. You’ll also need to find the original audio files for music/sound FX. Finally average case scenario is it or part of the port (like sound or video) doesn’t work. Good case scenario is it works fine. Worst case scenario is it may force a hard reset, so backup your handheld and use at your own risk.
Flashback (The Quest for Identity) - According to the dev, this is nearly complete. Still needs optimizations and bug squashing.

<grumble> <sigh>. That fact that you 2 posted more or less right after wnm just shows that the admin still or never got around to my request to make this topic a sticky.

Anyways, thanks. It's good to know that all this is being appreciated. BTW, I also have a sister topic of freeware apps (non games) here on 1rsc, Applications board. Check that out too.

palm_david
