The Fun! Factory: Games

Please note that most of the games written specifically for the 100LX and 200LX are not listed here. You can find information on them, as well as download them, at S.U.P.E.R. If you wish to view only the games category, just click here!

Any game titles in red indicate that I was unable to get the game to run on the palmtop. Don't forget that any information you have is of value - see the Submit page for more details!

PacMan
Info		Great and easy game. [Mike's note: There are plenty of other PacMan clones out there and, given the age of the original, a good many will run on the palmtop. For example, check out PC-Man below.]

Runs on 95LX?		No
Thanks to Luigi for this information!

PC Darts
Info		Darts on a palmtop? And why not! Once you've got the hang of how the game works, you'll appreciate that it really isn't that bad a concept, and can actually be pretty good fun when playing multiplayer! On the palmtop, you really need to play it with the colours inverse to how they are supposed to be - otherwise, it's virtually impossible to see the x-axis target indicator, which is tough enough to find anyway (it's at the very bottom of the screen).
Status		Freeware, by Reed Topham
Runs on 95LX?		Yes, but problems will occur because of the smaller screen

PC-Man
Info		This is, as the title would suggest, a clone of one of the best-known titles of all time: PacMan. I found that version 1 ran fine on the palmtop (whilst version 2 would seemingly not respond to any keys, for some reason). So, if you like this type of game, seek out PC-Man!

Runs on 95LX?		No

PC Pool
Info		A pool game which I cannot understand at all! It seems to work fine on the palmtop but despite reading the help screens several times, I still can't work it out! The only PC pool game which is harder than its real life equivalent! If anyone does know how to play and would like to send me some simple instructions/tips, I'd be happy to hear from them. It might be that I have a faulty copy.

Pipe Mania
Info		The goal is to put pipes one after another so that the oil does not fall out! This is considered as the funniest game to play on the 200LX. Don't play in the dark because it's hard to see the cursor.

Thanks to Luigi for this information!

Pitstop II
Info		A simple-to-play F1 racing game, which will most likely need the use of a slow-down utility, depending on the speed of your palmtop.
Status		Commercial software, by Epyx (program design by Synergistic Software, IBM version by Lauren Guimont)
Runs on 95LX?		No

Ports of Call
Info		I can tell you that this game appears to work fine - unfortunately, I have no documentation for it, and have no idea of the keys or even what I'm supposed to be doing. Any hints/tips/information gratefully accepted!

Prince of Persia
Info		A game that won rave reviews when it first appeared, and its quality is still very much in evidence today. The graphics seem a class above most other platformers, mainly due to the lifelike movements of the characters. Gameplay is pretty much the standard run and jump style, with your sword-fighting skills being put to the test on various occasions. Problems on the palmtop? None that I can see, making this game a thoroughly recommended title.
