We see it every day in the console industry. You cant spit in a game stop store without hitting some game that's basically a remake of an older successful game. I could basically type up a huge list of remade games, but I'll settle for saying to look away from the 3DS section.
My question is, where's the love for classic PC games? I would kill to play the real Bauldar's Gate games (not those playstation 2 Diablo wannabes...), or Fallout on my phone, or perhaps some other platform.
I'm not saying that remakes are a bad thing, as if it were a sign of an industry with flagging innovation. Many of these games are great stories, and rightfully ought to be passed on...

Ah, but you can re-live it with an emulator + roms! At least I think there's been an emulator devoted to it.
I wish there were an equivalent for classic PC games...especially on android.
Maybe I ought to check the same place where Lord Manhattan found his stomach emulator.

Spectrum emulator + six-axis controller + Brian Bloodaxe == PROFIT!!!
With a fair bit of work you can get some of the dosbox emulators to play pc games. I have gotten tes arena working. And have heard of people getting fallout working. And of course all the basic dos games work well

They ported Wolfenstein 3D to the PS3 last year. I LOVE that game. I was too into it though, to the point where I knew where all the hidden rooms were, and had all the secret weapons and treasure.
Ooh, Ooh did someone say ADOM I finished that game once with teleportitis(a curse where you randomly teleport anwhere) ...good times.

Wolfenstein 3D

Some people like games like the Mafia or Vampire ones that are out. Then there are some that you can play via SMS (like Battleship).
I'd like to hear some more as well.

Did you even try to actually find it yourself? Because if you search "Scorched Earth" in the Market, Armored Strike is the first result....

Barrage
There's a page for a port at sourceforge but it appears to be dead and the files are gone. Too bad, the apps out there are OK but even the paid versions don't match the original. I wasted so much time on that game as a kid, I'd love to do it again.
I am a database administrator and i have a lot of time where i sit and read the internet. i was wondering what games that you all may play on your phones to help me maybe kill sometime.
Games I have:
Angry Birds
Age of Conquest
Crush the Castle
Gem Minder: Dig Deeper
Plants vs Zombies
Anyone know of any other good games?
some pretty good memory games on there, also scrabble
Guns and Glory (kind of tower defense), but I think it is only available in german.
crysis2 stolen leaked beta torrented
and on phone ...
pocket legends
dungeon defenders
mmos all the way baby
Right now a bit of:
Star Traders RPG Lite
Gurk 8bit RPG
Andor's Trail
Old school RPGer indeed
One and only Fruit ninja , damn addictive
PC games i play wow, Crysis And counter strike sometimes
I don't really work but I go to school. I play Paper Toss on my phone. On pc: Garry's Mod, Counter Strike: Source, Left 4 Dead 2, COD 1 on school wireless LAN with friends and Minecraft when I really have nothing else to do.

Such a pity there isn't a game on the market called "With Myself". Can you imagine explaining to a co-worker (or a boss) what you were doing then?
BOSS: So, Smith, what are you doing?
SMITH: Oh, I'm playing "With Myself".
BOSS: What did you say?

No it's not. It's free. It's not a free weekend. It's not a demo. It's free. Deal runs until the 20th. If you have it, you keep it.

Yeah its free, but it requires steam to play it. I tried it out on ubuntu 10.10 under wine and everything works perfectly.

Hehe, i approve your submishinz!
That's why i didn't bother with Portal 2. Yes, they are unique, well imagined, funny and well executed games...but all a bit rinse and repeat to play.
I'd probably still be playing TF2 if Valve hadn't completely ruined the Art Direction and turned the game into some sort of pseudo RPG. Valve have basically done to that game what Lucas has done to the Star Wars films
Gears of war 3 is the best game ever. That is all.

Not as good as Pacman's.
not to troll but i dont think Gears 3 is the best.
1. its tedious
2. the monster things ARE BACK like wtf?
3. its too weird to be classed as a cool game...
the best game in my eyes would be Assassins Creed Revelations even though it has yet to be released lol

1. Agreed, it can be difficult for people who are new to the game to pick it up, but it's absolutely insanely good once you can actually play. There's something about getting a good headshot from across the map and watching a person's head explode which gives you a feeling of satisfaction you just can't get in most games.
2. Don't understand your point? The storyline is easy to understand.
3. Well, a lot of games can be considered weird. Assassin's Creed is a weird game. In what other game can you jump off a viewpoint into a tiny haystack and somehow survive?!
And also, it isn't trolling, I mainly started this thread to get people's opinions and see if developers liked to occasionally headshot locusts or something like that in their free time.
