Hello everyone,
So last month I decided to get a new phone - either Droid (Droid 2 now) or N900. For me, games and emulators (mostly RPGs and turn based strategy) are very important on phone.
I had almost decided on the N900 (HoMM II, FreeCiv and OpenTTD ftw ) when, lets say the comunity had a mini meltdown with many users, devs (and even Nokia) abandoning the phone and the droid started looking more attractive.
But then I saw JA2 was available on Maemo 5 and the N900 is back in contention .
So I made a small list available on the N900.

Great working Games -
Nethack
HoMM II
JA 2
FreeCiv
Angry Bird
OpenTTD
WC II
Quake 1,2 and 3
Hexen, Duke Nukem, Wolf
Wesnoth

Possible or Not so good working Games -
HoMM III
Dune II, C&C and Red Alert
UrQuan Masters

Great working Emulators -
DrSnes, PicoDrive
Scummvm

Possible or Not so good working Emulators -
GBA, NES
PS1, N64
MAME, DosBox

Some questions for N900 owners.
Is this list complete and correct? I have searched and gone through a lot of threads before compiling this list. But it is difficult to know if any games is available or not. Can any more good games/emus be added - especially RPG and TBS?

Are the games really playable - I mean not just working but also easy to control with N900 keyboard/touchscreen (and no external controllers like wiimote). Eg I dont think FPS like Quake or Duke could be easily played on N900. What about TBS like HoMM or JA2 or FreeCiv and platformers like Super Mario World?

Any more roguelikes on the N900 - especially DCSS tiles? With the keyboard and the decent sized screen they will be great to play.

I dont really care about Meego but hopefully Nokia will give flash 10 support fo N900.
The answers will be a lot of help to decide whether to go for N900.

Thanks in advance.
