Stumbled on a GREAT Alternative to Gameboy Advance

Post #124,675 by gdaustin 11/7/03 8:17:08 PM 11/7/03 8:51:15 PM Reply	Stumbled on a GREAT Alternative to Gameboy Advance My son lost his Gameboy Advance. He only had 3 games for it. He was sad for a couple of weeks. Then he found an old 3Com Palm Pilot of mine that I wasn't using anymore. So far, he's downloaded and played with at least 10 games, including Frogger, Chess, Checkers, Quest, Battleship, Piano, Breakout, Pong, and Asteroids. He's 8, and he's figured out how to Google to find PalmPilot games. He downloads them, and I taught him how to install them on the Palm Pilot. He just found another one today, called Earth. If I had known he was going to have this much fun with the pilot, I would have given it to him months ago. And with all the free games to download, he'll be busy for weeks, maybe even months, if he gets into chess. Also, the games are cooler like Quest and Chess. So, Pokemon out, Quest in.

A number of emulators have been ported to it so you can run Atari, Commodore, NES etc. programs on it.

So it is much useful than the GBA, and it can link to your PC to get more software. Also look for PalmOS software here: [link\|http://www.freewarepalm.com/\|http://www.freewarepalm.com/] [link\|http://www.palmpilotarchives.com/\|http://www.palmpilotarchives.com/] [link\|http://www.palmtown.com/\|http://www.palmtown.com/] [link\|http://www.pilotzone.com/\|http://www.pilotzone.com/] [link\|http://www.palmpilotfiles.com/\|http://www.palmpilotfiles.com/] [link\|http://www.palm-games.com/\|http://www.palm-games.com/] [link\|http://www.brothersoft.com/palm.asp\|http://www.brothersoft.com/palm.asp] I almost bought a PalmOS device once. I had to spend my money on something else, my car broke down and I had to put a down payment on another car. My father-in-law got me a Royal DaVinci for Christmas two years ago, but it is just not the same as a PalmOS device. The DaVinci won't even synch up right with my Windows machine. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
