New Palm Z22. What is a perfect website beside games for my Z22?
Answers: * = freeware
======these are some 'restrictions' that your Palm handheld has compared to the midlevel Palm PDAs and up. Look for apps that support:
1) z22 (obviously, but have to point it out anyways)
2) low resolution (160x160)
3) color or grayscale screen
4) games that use simply touchscreen (since the z22 only have 2 independant buttons, touchscreen games only won't matter)
5) if it does require buttons, hold on to in mind abundant standard Palms from os3.5 era (around 1999-ish) had a at least possible (page) up/down buttons, and 4 PIM buttons for a total of 6. That kinda became the 'standard' when winter sport devs made games, like how every PC gamer will own at least a 144key QWERTY upright and 2-button mouse. Your z22 as may alr kno only have 2 side, indpendant PIM buttons, but u do have a 5-way joystick (up, down, departed, right, and center/select). That's actually more buttons, but some apps don't support departed and right. Also, for the apps that may allow u to remap left and right as PIM buttons, it may a moment ago be too odd to play a spectator sport like that, next to that kind of physical configuration.
6) os5. It may any support ONLY os5, or a wide extent of them. The point is there are a handful of apps that work fine on os3/4 but not so on os5
7) it's odd, but if u see screen resolutions supported as Palm 160x160 and Sony 160x160, take home sure the former is supported b/c Palm and Sony may have have different standards for 160x160 screens.
======As where on earth to get them:
>>the more "independant" sites
http://www.freewarepalm.com - freeware apps of adjectives types. Lefthand side, search lower than games category
http://www.PalmGamingWorld.com - games... shareware and freeware
>>ESD sites (these sites are like online retailers for the devs. Iv'e read that they collect hefty fees from devs to use their sites as a trough to sell the devs' apps, up to 40%! so whenver possible, see if u can find the dev's own site and try to buy directly from them instead by googling the designation of the dev). Some of these sites do a good position of keeping up on info like size of programs and supported handhelds. Filters can also serve u find stuff like freeware with the sole purpose apps, those under $x, supports low-res, etc.
http://www.palmgear.com
http://www.handango.com
http://www.clickgamer.com
http://www.clickapp.com
http://www.palmblvd.com/software.html
>>For games directly from the devs.... honest thing is for these devs that tender good tech support, it's best direct to some extent than doing it from an ESD:
http://www.astraware.com/ - many great games. Great customer service. Look for winter sport pakcs as those are great value for the $$ (like PopCap Games pakc 1 & 2). Also sign up for their newsletter for report on upcoming games, and even notices on promo sale.
you can easily find these other sites using a survey engine. Parenthesis indicates some games of interest from that dev or what they're known for. My apologies if some of these devs own hi-res only games:
BapSoft (logic puzzles), CrazySoft (card games, puzz), DeluxeWare (puzz, other), Kickoo, LDW (plant tycoon), MegaSoft, Momentum Games/Mobile Wizardry, N.I. Games, PalmSW, PDAmill, PLBM, Redshift (a cheap RPG for 160x160), ToySpring (Bike Or Die), Viex games
======some stuff you should achieve:
FileZ*
file checker, check size of individual files, browse SD card folder, copy, move, etc. What ppl take for granted on desktops, very soon available on Palms.
PalmPDF*
read native PDFs near zooming and pan ability.
Khronos*
stopwatch app. 0.1 second increments, and use up and down buttons as start/stop
BigClock*
set hurried alarms (as oppsed to in Datebook), create fixed # of custom midi alarms, and multiple countdown/countup timers
========some of my pics
>>>FREEWARE***
see below
>>>SHARE_WARE that'll work on a z22 AFAIK
Popcap Games pack 1 & 2 (astraware.com)
almost any game from Astraware really. Go on mail list word on promos and discount periods
Warfare Inc ~$20
RTS spectator sport. Many level pack
Dragon Fire $10
nice RPG.
Bike Or Die $15
physics based biking spectator sport. LOTS of level pack
MicroQuad $15 to $20
Super Mario Kart like hobby
Games by Bapsoft ~$10 to $20
various PUzzle games. Games pack are good meaning
Spellbound $10?
like Boggle, but next to more complexity and tiles that fall
======freeware games
these list I've compiled are from 2005, and will probably never get updated, but surely there's more than adequate there.
I've manifest some of my favs with a **. Some of these may not work on a z22, but at smallest they're free :~\
