Good games for the N900?
 

Not that I game a lot, but casting around I don't see anything. And certainly not with anything approaching the fit & finish of a typical iPhone game.

I was quite curious to know how the game development scene in Maemo is actually, and whether I've missed anything - it seems to be based mainly around emulators and ports. Which are cool and all, but not original and ultimately pretty poor as gaming experiences go.

Pointers? Comments? Suggestions?

I liked
Duke 3D (duke nukem 3D)
Open Arena (fps ported)
Super Maria War (ported) can also be fun
Angry Birds is funny :D

your right it is mainly emulators. angry birds is about the most polished actual game we have, i blame the shoddy ovi store for not supporting paid apps until now.
but there are some great games on emulators,
have you tried scummVM? cant beat some classic lucasarts adventures. :)

but where do you get the games for scummv?

Re: Good games for the N900?
 

try google, there are a load of scummvm games on the scummvm website.

Ports can be a good thing, I don't think I would be using my n900 much for gaming if there werent loads of ported classics, in a way it's a the familiar games that get people into playing. It is true that alot of them though seem to only be half ported, shame that.
