Best games you have played and would recommend

Exactly as the title says.
Also post games you hate so we dont fall for them:
Games i've tried and recommend:
Age of empires gold (Name says it all)
Sim City 2000 (dito)
Dopewars (Addicting)
Teeter (Comes with the phone)
MC Poker (play online with other people Texas Hold 'em)
SkyForce Reloaded (Really fun; just try it)
Snood (aim and shoot "snoods" and match them up to destroy them)
Midnight Pool 3d ( Im a pool fanatic *demo comes with phone)
Games not to get:
Arvale II (just too simple / redundant. Its rpg style but it sucks (in my opinion))
Feel free to add on

Couple of old games I had that work well on my Sprint TP:
Acky's XP Breakout - VGA breakout-style game works nicely with the stylus
Atomic Cannon - Nice graphics on a Scorched Earth-type game. This one occasionally has a sound glitch where the sound stops, going into sound settings and disable/enable cycle fixes.
Bejeweled 2 - Of course. How can you go wrong?

Not all test on the TP but I was just looking on other forums about best games. And here is a list I made of games I wanna try
Call of Duty 2
Warfare Inc
Arvale and Arvale 2
Krally
minijetfight
UNDERCROFT
soldier ants.
SkyForce Reloaded
Lemonade inc
tots n togs
The Quest
Quake Mobile
Rayman Ultimate
pocket heroes

I would highly recommend Orions: Legend of Wizards and its expansions.

could you provide links as to where you get the games from...

yeah sure when i get to a computer. i gotta say some of those suggestions look really good. i warn you though if you get the arvale series only get the demos because you will be dissapointed
p.s. has anyone here actually played the quest? it looks interesting, but is it worth it?

I'd love to see some links also. Does Sim City 2000 work well with the Fuze controls? Do you play with keyboard out, or no? Does it display full screen landscape?

lemings
syberia
warcraft2
ufo
and if one goes into the whole
amiga, c64, snes and MAME emulator
scene then it's a different question i guess
diff people diff tastes i like fps games as much as
the next guy but dont really feel it works on pda's using
the touch screen
tombraider worked ok but required many many hardbuttons to
work so dont believe any htc devices ever had the option to stop
the game without softreset

thanks for the recommendations. what am i not seeing with dopewars? i tried it for two seconds and was already bored (and a bit confused).
by the way, please indicate if your recommendations require extensive use of the d-pad (touchpad). we all know it's not the best to use and i've had to stop playing one of my favorites (ms. pac-man) because it's clumsy to navigate in fast-paced games without hitting the back or home buttons.

I have always been addicted to Quartz 2 and am glad to see that they have released a VGA version.

I never softreset when I want to stop playing TombRaider. Press Home button, click right corner (HTC Task Manager), hold your finger/stylus and drag until you'll see Tomb Raider, move to X (you need to hold your finger cos' the screen flickers).
Have you found a method to map the keys? The arrow keys are kinda reversed.
Some of the games I've tested:
- Rayman, bad control, poor framerate
- Prince of Persia HD, moves heavily
- Assassins Creed, again moves heavly, the game is not fluid
- Zuma Deluxe, nice one
- DragonBall, zuma deluxe style game, kinda slow
- Warfare Inc, nice strategy game
- I244 Machines at War, again nice strategy game
- Spore, kinda slow
- Lemmings
- NFS, jerky game
- Cokoto CartRacer, jerky game, poor graphics
- Rats, nice platform game but it's so slowly on TP
- Age of Empires
- Warcraft 2, i cannot select items properly.. it's like the screen is not calibrated
- TombRaider, this one runs really good. If I can remap the keys as I want..
- Bejeweled 2, nice logic game
- Pac-Man
- Quake III Arena
- Call of Duty II
I recommend (you don't need to rely on D-PAD for these games):
- Bejeweled 2
- Zuma Deluxe
- DragonBall (even if it's a bit slow)
- Warfare Inc
- I244 Machines at War
- Age of Empires
And for show-off:
- COD 2
- Quake III Arena

Has anyone installed Hasbro Scrabble on a VGA device? I hope it doesn't go bonkers.

You have to be careful which one you get.
Handmark Scrabble works perfectly with pixel doubling. Highly recommended.
EA Mobile Scrabble is gorgeous, but unbelievably bad. The control was designed for mobile phones and it lacks enormously important features. Just... don't.

I have Handmark Scrabble and am very glad to know that when my device arrives on Friday that my favorite game will work. Curious about pixel doubling though, wouldn't there actually need to be pixel quadrupling in order to go from qvga to vga?

none of the games i recomended need the dpad... simcity2000 works well just run the tut. it can be a bit of a strain on the eyes sometimes.

Concerning d-pad troubles. Could there be a way to disable the phone and windows/back buttons prior to starting a game and automatically re-enable them when you quit? This way games would be much more playable...

Technically, yes. But since most of the math involved is just multiplying by two on each axis, "doubling" does make some sense. And it's shorter and easier to say.

OK, that's good enough for me.

High Quality Games for Andriod

Hi, we all know that there is a huge lack of good, high quality games for android. So i would like to start a thread that picks the best out of the pool.
Here is my best-of:
- Jewellust (far better than Bejeweled)
- Devilry Huntress (like Jewellust)
- Christallight Defense
- Bonsai Blast
- Gameboid (Gameboy Advance Emulator, works great!)
- Buka
- Totemo (when its out!)
What are your favourite HIGH Quality Games?

retro defence
snesoid - works fine
scummvm - I've run monkey island and day of the tentacle so far
xgalaga
and light racer is pretty good fun also (although maybe not HQ)

+Recommended
Robo Defense
Orbs knock off
Labyrinth (the 3d tilt effect works brilliant ingame)
+Pretty
Super-G stunt (or anything by that company)
The doom emulator / port
Streets of rage 3 on gensoid
super mario world on snesoid
armadillo roll
buka
3d cube demo

+1 for Robo Defense
I also like these games:
Cestos - draw the directions you want the balls to go to try to push opponent's balls into a hole... play against people online makes it even more fun
Trap! - divide box into smaller boxes without getting hit by bouncing balls
Baseball Superstars 2009 is quite fun too even though I don't know much about baseball

Gensoid (Megadrive/Genesis Emulator)

All I know, that pretty much on my first Android boot and Market visit, I downloaded Doom from the Market, turned on my Wifi, and in the Doom application clicked on 'download shareware .WAD' and 'download sounds'. And it works fine.
So either something is wrong with your Doom installation or Hero, or (more likely) your WAD still isn't entirely compatible with _this_ port.

Its a good game, but as you say, its an iphone port. and it seems its not ported very well. its slow, its not responsive, so its not big fun.
What about HeroCraft and PDAMill. Why dont they port their really good games like Snails, Gamebox Solitaire to Android?

Not that impressed with the games. Keeping fingers crossed. Like Light Racer though.

So simple yet very addictive. Been playing a fair bit and still not exhausted the free version to warrant buying the full one yet.

I like ProjectINF(actually this game is super fun some lag though in my area) umm Dojo Cubed is fun, Guitar Hero World Tour, AWplanet has potential if you can put up with the movement.

Some other games
The Sims 3
Sim City Metropolis

True, ShadowGun always makes people go "whoa!". Also, Mass Effect Infiltrator looks amazing. I know other devices can run it too, but it's the large screen that makes it look so amazing.

Asphalt and GTA. Everybody wants to have a go at it..

Best emulators?

Can anyone recommend the best emulators out there for SNES, N64 and PS1 games?

Well I know that for the most part n64 emulators arent really any good because of the roms, but I use n64oid. look for it online not the marketplace.

This might be the droid you are looking for. (scroll down bit in the first post) Also, this should generally go into Q&A.

Mupen64 seems to work well with OoT

FPse for PS1

Snesdroid, N64oid, and FPse.
My favorite is Neodroid though. The neo Geo games look great. I have the latest Metal Slug Games and all the fighting games. The roms don't take up much room either. Unlike PlayStation roms. Try downloading a few PlayStation roms into your nexus and watch your storage space disappear. No matter the size version you got. I keep a few classics, like Einhander, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Final Doom. I also use to have Strider and X-Men vs. Streetfighter and Bloody roar 2 or 3. Got rid of them to make room on prime. FPse is best PlayStation emulator. Allows you to use the open gl plugin which will dramatically increase the graphics quality of a ton of games. Like Einhander for example. It looks decent by itself but kinda pixelated on certain things. Add and enable the plugin and it looks better than even the original PlayStation version. Everything very crisp n sharp.

what's your favorite oldschool game?

My list would look like this:
1. Fallout 1 & 2

Not as old school as some of these suggestions, but mine would have to be Pokemon.
I still play it loads now. But rather than play the official ones, I play the modified ROMs.

Can't remember if we had any games for the ZX80, so my favourite oldschool game would have to be 3D Monster Maze...
I did love all the Sonic games on the Megadrive too.

Old school..
Kung Fu
Metroid
Excitebike
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Eternal Champions
Its powered by Jellybeaned AOKP!

1 - Prince of Persia (the first one, where the prince and the others were just some pixels on the screen, looool)
2 - Golden Axe
3 - Pacman
4/5 - Tetris and the first version of Space Invaders!!!
OMG good memories

64
Super Smash Brothers on N64!!! :highfive:
