    Add a slot for game boy games and they can add the kids market.

      Well the poll is closed now , but I would have been a mix between the small screen ruining it, and the lack of controls.
      Whenever I play SMAC on my laptop even, I have to use the "GoTo" option even for moving one square because to turn on the numpad I have to disable the keys: 789uiojklm,.

      Using it on a palmtop with only 4 buttons and a stylus just doesn't sound like it would work.

        You underestimate the power of the stylus...

        Instead of using arrows, you simply tap the stylus next to the unit, on whichever side you want it to move to.

        Taptaptap...
        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          You can get Sim City and a host of other pc games now that have been ported to Palm. Does anyone know if someone out there with the skills to do this would be willing to convert the original Civ to the Palm?

          The original Civ is now distributed free over the net so I don't think there would be copyright issues. Just a thought. I would do it if I knew how to.

            If they port civ to a palm pilot, I think taking the bus in the morning won't be quite so painful.

              Figure it would be a Pocket PC application first, less so then the PalmOS application. Much less porting needed.

                Unless Palms get a holographic display, this is a pretty stupid idea.

                    The map would consist of one city and square immediately around it. You could never get a feel for the global situation.
