Old windows / dos games on a PDA

mintums · 6 Mar 2006 at 12:50

Hi folks,

I'm looking to buy a Dell Axim 51v (due to the 20% discount now on) in the very near future (partly for work, but also for web browsing (and gf to do web editing which I'm hoping is possible), videos and games) and am curious as to the wealth of gaming talent out there.

I've seen lots of links to free and paid game downloads but would love to know whether any old pc classics would work on them (I'm having an X-com Apoc resurgence at the moment)?

Thanks in advance

I have doom, doom2, final doom, ultimate doom, quake, transport tycoon, monkey island all installed onto my PDA (used the game files from the games I own before anyone says OMG piracy!), you will want to check out pocket scumm for most dos based games!

I have played Red Alert 1 on a PDA before, was very impressed.
