PC games that have been converted to android/apple

Sleepery · 7 Feb 2015 at 13:31

I was browsing through the Play store on my android tablet this morning, I had no idea so many old PC games had been converted to run on tablets. Thought it might be a good idea to make a list, and if you've played it, rate the experience.

Came across these so far:

Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate 2

Knights of the Old Republic

Hegemonia: Legions of Iron

Imperium Galactica 2

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Both Baldur's Gate games are unforgivably buggy. Can't play more than a few minutes of either without it crashing out on me.

KOTOR looks like a really good port, but it's €8, which is a bit steep for a game I already have on PC.

Bards Tale

I own a few of these, never actually played them though (on phone)

There are a few unofficial ports of Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake etc.

I don't follow games on Android/IOS but I have seen GTA:Vice City, worth checking out imo.

Worms Armageddon. Not quite a straight port, but close. Works well, but rope work is much trickier due to touch screen

Duke Nukem 3d. Spot on, as far as I can tell.

Beneath a Steel Sky.

defender of the crown, plays ok, forgot how simplistic old games were.

Little Big Adventure - only played about an hour or so on my nexus 7 but seems a great port. controls work suprisingly well too.

Broken Sword 1-?

Think I've seen some other old school adventures on there too

I believe Heroes of Might & Magic III just got released. Probably the perfect game for touch screen, I've played an unofficial part-port of Heroes II, which worked well.

KoTOR seems pretty good from what I've played so far. Got it when it was on offer on release for around 3 quid. Just reaching the final fight on Taris and runs great on my Tegra Note 7.

Got both Baldur's Gate games too and no problems with crashing for me?

Hasn't Bioshock been ported to IOS?
GTA Vice city and San Andreas

Somebody needs to remake Constructor

. And a proper port of theme hospital.

Half Life 2 and Portal also I think?

yeah seen ports of simon the sorcerer 1 and 2 also!

if you have the pc versions of lucasarts adventure games, monkey island, samnmax etc, you can just use the scummvm port on android and run them all.

Also most dos games you can get working fine with dosbox turbo on android, played lands of lore this way worked great with touch screen!
Also played a lot of the sierra adventure game this way. All games either from my original cds or off gog.

half life 2 has been officially ported to android but as of now only works on nvidia shield (handheld or tablet)

Simon the Sorcerer! YES!
