I have a Palm T/X.  I used to use it all the time but when my work switched the Wi-Fi to WPA2 I could no longer get the Palm to connect.  I still use the Palm occasionally but now that I have an eeePC I usually use that instead.  It doesn't fit as easily into my pocket but it's got a lot more functionality. ;)  The T/X still makes a great e-book reader and its sketch pad is great for making quick notes.  Games for the Palm I found a little disappointing.  There were a few GREAT ones that really showed off the later Palms' potential and I always hoped more games like those would be made but most were pretty lame.  I think a lot of developers focused too much on supporting the older Palm models.

Again, I'm surprised several of you mentioned games. I've never played anything beyond Minehunt and Othello while waiting for a plane.  Mpiva, what great games did you find?


Redshift has some awesome RPGs.  They have amazing graphics but since they're old fashioned turn-based RPGs they're great to play in a casual setting such as a waiting room.  You can be in the middle of fighting a monster and, when the nurse calls your name, simply turn it off and continue later.  There's no worring about dying because you looked up at the wrong moment.

Warfare Incorporated (sorry can't seem to find a working link) was, by far, the best RTS game on the Palm.

Rifle Slugs was a good Worms-like game.

Ricochet was a great brick-out type game.

And, of course, there was Bejeweled2.
