I would not mind seeing Genetic Species, DVS 4, Worms DX, and of course Turrican 3 on the DS, but that day will never come sadly.

Thank-you Nintendo for putting a stylus on the DS, now point and click strategy games have entered the world of the portable console!


Slightly off topic (and you gurus will probably know already) BUT... You want portable Amiga style point and click games?

Windows mobile device + ScummVM + Lucasarts = sweeeet :-D

It will even run the amiga game files straight from the disks for proper 32 colour goodness (and better music than the PC versions! Hurrah!).

Monkey Island on your phone? Love it! :-)

The Settlers is a DOS game, but The Settlers 2 is native to windows and still runs very well, sound and all, on modern machines.

i have tried to install settles 2 on my pc (xp pro)
after the install i cannot find it anywhere.
am i doing something wrong   :-?

@ Jamees and some others

Ubisoft have released some amazing games over hte last few years, which I thought were in house , could be wrong though.

To name but a few, POP:Sands Of Time, POP:Warrior Within, POP: Two Thrones.

And of course Rayman on Wii, what an absoulte classic

@Matthias

Just to clarify things. ScummVM is also available for Symbian phones, not Windows based only.

@motorollin

Does YouTube (or other video sites) work?  Flash?

Just tried YouTube and it hung the DS :-o  Probably doesn't support Flash anyway.

@twizzle
I must admit I don't know quite what is wrong. I got my copy from an abandonware site and basically is was just unzip & run.

Alternatively, Ubisoft is releasing a new The Settlers 2. IMO they added too much crap to it. Looks more polished, but the original still is better I think. It's a lot slower too.


@JJ
I guess it depends on personal taste :) For me, the three POPs are very bad games. Maybe I'm getting too old and cranky hehe. The first one was alright I guess and there was a certain cool factor in revisiting Persia in another video game years after the two first installments. But after that it really didn't do anything for me. I especially disliked the fact that Ubi numbered them 1, 2 and 3. Seems they have no respect for the franchise, as there were two POP games before Ubi bought the rights. And having the original POPs included on the discs wouldn't have thrown production time off and would've made a great little add-on. Like including the original Metroid on the Zero Mission cartridge. Man that rocked :)

The DS Browser doesn't support Flash, so no youtube :(  Still, it's not a bad bit of software, most webpages render really nicely on the dual screens, it's just not as fast as on a PC.  Mind you, all the people that have been complaining about it being slow must be terribly impatient as I haven't had any problems with it.

I'm running it on my R4DS in Slot-1 with a Supercard Lite in Slot-2 - similar to motorollin's setup.

There are a few Amiga games on the DS these days - The New Zealand Story (quite a good port imo), Rainbow Islands (quite a bad port :-( ) Theme Park (an excellent port), Bubble Bobble (not bad), Sim City (a port of SC 3000, but still similar) and now Settlers.  There could be more, but I can't remember now  :-D There are lots of amazing original games on there too though - stuff like Phoenix Wright (I know it's a GBA port, but it never got released in English), Hotel Dusk Room 215, plus all the usual Nintendo stuff.

But, had you payed for it would it still be acceptable?  Sounds like it's very limited.
