Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	freecell I know it isn't the original... but why not try making a port of the Freeciv game that was created open source for *nix platform computers? Mind you, I signed the petition and I would love to see the original! Good Luck!

Good Luck!

They would have to make that free. They can't afford to spend that much money on the development cost and receive nothing in return. (Which is what would happen right now since they are about 70% complete and have stopped development for about a month now because of Infogrames)

Freeciv4palmos already exist........ as a project, the port was started, but the lead developer (and the only one) doesn't want to continue this project.

I'm triing to re-start the project, but it's really hard because I don't have any doc on palm programming, so I have to learn it by reading the part of freeciv that was allready port.

Infogames or Redshift would easily be able to get $29.00 for the Palm version of the game . There are already close clones of the game, which were not as expensive, but lack the great AI and graphics we'd expect from Sid Meier's (sp?) game.

It is unlikely anything will emerge from this port since very little has happened for a long time. Started port around March 2001. Something popped out in May 2001. And this was the last update (from the webpage). All it does is create a map. The forums have pretty much stated the author has given up on this project and anyone else can take over it. I suggest you start petitioning! __________________ The answer is 42!
