Outrun can use the tilt for steering, but I prefer the qwerty pad.

just trying to play a SNES rom using SNESoid lite, and I can't get my head around the file system, when I connect my Desire via USB to my computer, I get the option of folders like Android, DCIM, download, media, but I can't find any folders that I can see on my Desire natively, i.e. sdcard/, app-cache/, cache/ etc?

because things like /cache /system are in the devices NAND (internal memory).

When you're connecting your Desire to the PC, you're mounting your SDCard, so you only see the folders on your SDCard.

You can put your Rom anywhere, then navigate to it in the application.

Graviturn is good for 5 mins or so.

Why is Lemmings not on Android yet?!

EDIT: Or Worms for that matter. These games would be perfect for android!

Angry Birds x3 - Free
Drag Racing - Free
Pokemon Tower Defence - Free, and has had a lot more play time than drag racing and all angry birds put together :O
Open Sudoku - Free
Wordfeud - Free

Thats kinda all i play, i use appbrain to find new popular games, but generally end up un-installing them

ShiWarrior · 26 May 2011 at 21:58

Robo Defence (free version) stuck at level 8

and ALL the Storm 8 games (Racing live, Imobsters etc etc) (FREE)

Recently I have been caining Drag Racing and Tower Raiders 2.

Last night I decided to put my phone through it's paces and got NOVA, Lets Golf 2 and Modern Combat.

Will take a bit of getting used to playing FPS with a touchscreen, but they all played fluidly as you like.

Gun Bros is worth a look.

I guess it's also worth linking 2 threads in here.

Drag Racing thread

Game Dev Story is fun

ShiWarrior · 27 May 2011 at 16:35

i'll have to try that drag racing one, is that LIVE ?
i play Racing Live, thats not bad, when you get the hang of it and coem out of camp mode (when you've built up enough $$$)

I’ve had an idea about a brilliant new dpad/button controller for smartphones it would be like playing on classic dpad again on smartphone games.

Who can I contact to get this idea off the ground?

Going to contact local college/uni to find out next week

Robotek HD is AWESOME

I don't know how well known it is, but I've sworn by 'Flood It' over the last 12 months. It's a game where you begin with 6 different colours and then you have to dominate the board in one colour within so many steps. I originally knew it as a PC game called Hexaconnect (link) and Flood It is the phone version of it and is available on Appbrain. It's good to while away those moments while waiting for a bus, although be warned - I have missed buses because of it!!
