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!

Rad Warrior
Info		Rad Warrior is a simple platform game with large, chunky graphics which help make the game more playable than most on the palmtop's LCD screen. Despite this, there are some problems with smaller missiles which are still hard to see; otherwise, however, this is a game which works and plays well.

Runs on 95LX?		No

Railroad Tycoon
Info		No apparent problems, although since the game uses both the numeric keypad as well as shift-numeric keypad control, it is a bit cumbersome on the LX. The game ran a bit slowly on a single-speed LX, although setting the internal game speed to "Fastest" made it run like "Moderate" (the standard speed) on a regular PC.

Thanks to Laust Brock-Nannestad for this information!

Rain
Info		A pinball game that works on the palmtop (will need to be slowed down, however), but unfortunately uses the Shift-keys to operate the flippers. As the palmtop's Shift-keys are "sticky", the game is rendered virtually impossible.

Rampage
Info		A smash-em-up, Rampage seems to work fine on the palmtop. I found the gameplay slow-moving and cumbersome, however, and the game isn't made any easier with the tiny keys on the palmtop's keyboard!

Runs on 95LX?		No

Rockstar
Info		Everyone knows that every kid's burning ambition is to become a rockstar. That or an astronaut, at least. So you might not have made it in real life, but now you can come close enough to the full rockstar experience with this game. A game which is, like the majority of rockstars, completely and utterly bizarre. Surreal and explicit are two words which could easily be associated with the titles that "rockstars" produce; the two words also nicely describe the game's content. Worth playing, if only because you'll never ever play a game quite like it, but definitely not one for the easily-offended!

Rogue Runner
Info		A text-mode game where the objective is to navigate your character through a labyrinth to the exit, whilst avoiding the enemies. It ran fine on the palmtop, and apart from certain things being slightly hard to see because of the various shades of grey used, this is a fun little game.

Runs on 95LX?		Yes, but problems will occur because of the smaller screen

Rollo and the Brush Brothers
Info		Ever get the feeling that some programmers ought to have to found someone else to think up the title?! And, come to mention it, the plot's equally as insane - the object is to maneuver a brush around each side of a screenful of windows in order to paint them, whilst avoiding enemy brushes. No, really! In any case, the game works reasonably well on the palmtop, except that you will most likely want to use a slow-down utility. The game is pretty tough going as well, so only the nimble-fingered need apply!

Round 42
Info		This is essentially a Space Invaders clone that, like Moon Bugs, uses a rarely-used graphics mode which unfortunately has the effect that only the top half of the screen is displayed on the palmtop, making the game unplayable.

Runs on 95LX?		No

Rush Hour
Info		Just when you thought that computer game plots couldn't get any more bizarre... meet Rush Hour! The objective, as stated in the game's documentation, is to "get through the rush hour, by managing the flow of traffic by controlling the 5 traffic lights". More bizarre, however, is the fact that it is actually quite amusing (if only to see just how many mile-long tailbacks you can cause) and, seeing as it's shareware and available from this site, you might want to give it a go!
