Palm based RPGs?

February 18, 2008 8:01 PM

Palm Zire Z22 games. RPG's mostly. Or things like that. Looking for turn based ones mainly. Had a palm long long ago but have inherited a newer one and am looking for turn based fun!

I remember a Roguelike I used to play on my ancient Palm IIIe... the name escapes me, sadly. I know that NetHack has a Palm port, too.

I have iRoque from here and it works pretty well. Everyone once and a while it causes a reboot of the Palm though.

I haven't used these, but they look promising for Zork and Zork-like games

Dope Wars is an RPG-like game that you can play on the palm. Free, simple and addicting.

And you want SpaceTrader. You really really want SpaceTrader.

I am a longtime Palm user and I haven't found many RPGs that really grabbed me.

I have tried the interactive fiction stuff mentioned by bottlebrushtree and they are not bad. The program I use "Kronos" has some shortcuts built in (point to word, a context menu pops up, for example) so that you don't have to type as much as you might think.

I enjoyed, the games by gasgorf on my palm in the past.
