3.1. Hacks 1822: Introduction

Gaming on a Palm device won't rival a console or hardcore gaming PC. On the other hand, you can't slip your console into your pocket, either (and the PlayStation Portable, for all its power, is still about twice the size of your Palm). Mobile gaming is different from home gaming, but it is still fun. The hacks in this chapter help you make the most of your mobile gaming.

If you go back 15 or 20 years and look at PCs from that era, a Palm device starts to look good. With a screen of up to 320 x 480 pixels and 64K colors, a Palm puts older systems to shame. Thus, emulation becomes a real possibility. Remakes look much better on the Palm than they did on the original platforms.

Modern Palm games provide interesting challenges in short bursts. Many current Palm games also add a multiplayer element to keep the games interesting.
