I have had N900 for couple of years now but haven't played games with it. Is there anyone really into games that would like to guide a bit?

I'm mainly trying to find Super Mario kind of games, where you jump and collect and bump on some creatures, flying in tunnels games, driving a car, shooting games (like the dug shooting game I found in HAM) without blood, or games like Rambo, Bruce Lee, Who Dares Wins and Commando.

So I don't need good graphics and don't like long story kind of games. Just something simple to play with while on a bus or a train, something with easy keyboard control.

I know there are free dos games a lot, so dosbox could be possible, but I haven't played with any emulators with linux so I have hesitated to start (what to download and where and how to install etc.).

If anyone like to help I would appreciate. if not I may succeed on this by myself but it will be in the future some day when I have enough brain capacity to try to learn new stuff again.

Yours,
Maemish.

if you can still find the deb-ified webos games they give you a modern mobile phone game experience, at least the ones which do not require multitouch; though I think there was a workaround even for htat.
Muppen64 lets you play lower power Nintendo64 roms I had Mario64 run great and is well suited especially if you find a game-gripper attachment somewhere; if you search thingiverse I even gave a feeble attempt to 3D design & print a FOSS game gripper like thing.
Mupen64 does almost all of the work for you except finding or extracting the rom files from old game carts.
There is a NES emulator if you want to play super maro brothers.

I remember there was SCUMMVM emulator for N900.

I am NOT really into games..but Angry Birds on N900 is good.

All those games are classic C64 games,
There is Frodo C64 emulator on Nokia 9500(symbianS80 phone), but I wondering what happened for Frodo C64 on Maemo:

Those games was also available for MSX and there is even two emulators for Maemo:
- fMSX: you can easily install it with Application Manager.
I have tested only with programming MSX-Basic.
- OpenMSX: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83502
I haven't tested it yet.

There is also Atari ST emulator:

and even .deb packed games for it:

I have written instructions for application use (not for games) instructions might help also monochrome (ST High) game users:

@Teroyk: checked the Hatari page. There is very good documentation how to set it up and make gmaes playable. It is just that I am lacking (still after using linux over ten years) some basic knowledge of making directories and extracting files to right places etc. so even though the instruction are good I don't have enough knowledge to be able to follow them without getting too much anxiety and stress (which I have to avoid at the moment).

I have now watched many "100 dos games in ten mnutes" youtube videos and made lists of what seems good. Maybe I try to hunt those down and then try to get them running on dosbox.

Maybe is better hunt those real N900 games:

It is included in the ovi repository. Hence you could find it on archive.org

Tried to download games from Aapo's site but could not. The most awesome would be to find a pinball for N900. Or couple different. That I could play ages.

I really liked brainparty and also had a lot of fun with offscreen app Airport. Atleast it's something called like that.

As mentioned earlier, Angry birds and level pack 1-4 was good aswell.
Dont forget: Frogatto, see my sig.
