What are you playing on android?

zardoz · 26 February 2014, 13:49

Sorry if this has already been done, what old games are you playing on a your phone or tablet? The touchscreen interface is awful so I can only bring myself to play PGA Golf (on a megadrive emulator). It works as you only have to press one button at a time.

I could invest in a bluetooth joypad, takes the casual gaming element of it away though doesn't it?

You can buy cheap but good JXD S601 which have d-pad and buttons. Most if not all emulators can use them. I'm playing Pinball Deluxe (Fantasies+Dreams) with GBA emulator.

Its pretty poor, I've given up for now. The first I did was install ScummVM to play classic point & click adventure games, but it was cumbersome at best. A touch interface just doesn't ever come close to a mouse or a joypad.

I had tried various free emulators and games but since uninstalled them as touchscreen does make games hard to control/play.

However, I have GTA III and GTA VC on my mobile that get played a great deal despite having completed PS2/PC versions lol.

The latest in a series of running games - one button (or tap) is all you need:

Get it here.

As a GM I have to say: "Begging is not an option"

Seriously though: I don't have a capable device either, but I'd stay clear of threads that mention those on a forum.

Currently I'm playing PPSSPP emulator (PSP Emulator) with Burnout Dominator and Space Invaders Extreme.
I must say it runs amazingly well on my Galaxy S4

I just bought a Gametel Bluetooth pad for my mobile gaming for £14 off Amazon. Most mobile touchscreen games are hopeless and aside from Angry Birds type stuff or Kairosoft games I don't bother.
Its pretty good for the low price, nice and compact, tried UAE4droid and it works great, played a few games and its very useable.

As for games to try, Game Dev Story and most of the Kairosoft games are super addictive.

I have played Majesty on my phone. I played this on PC ages ago and I liked the game. Converted to touch interface it's ok but I guess the small screen of a phone make it a bit harder to play compared to mouse. I have installed Majesty - Northern Expansion on my tablet but haven't tried it yet. I hope it will be smoother with the touch interface since the screen is much bigger.
