Help me from being so bored at work! Post your favorite apps!

I just loaded Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 Beta 3 ROM (CE 5.2.1933 build 18533.0.7.0) from the forum. I followed the guide, updated the bootloader, the radio, etc. Its great, quite an update from the WM5 that ships with the hermes (8525). BUT, I want more.
I then loaded SNES, with super mario world, and the genesis emulator with sonic the hedgehog, which is great, but the phone buttons are a bit lacking. still it keeps me occupied on my stupid 30 minute break at work that I would happily give up to go home 30 minutes earlier.
So heres the reason i'm posting...
What are your favorite apps? I've tried the flashlight app (cool), the new comm manager (cool), and the new office that comes in the rom. Its all impressive, but i'm hoping theres more stuff to play with out there. I whip out my phone constantly when i'm bored and play with the settings, and change the theme, and just in general see what I can get it to do.
Let me know what apps you like, and preferably put some links up. If you would do me a favor, try to keep discussion about how much you like or dislike someone's posted app. THANKS ALL, and thanks for keeping my brain from nullifying into goo when i'm bored.

My fav pasttime is the Bejeweled game, quite addicting (and I have an addictive personality, which helps, LOL! )
My clients like that along with Texas Holdem, Blackjack and Backgammon.
Of course the MobiTV and Cingular XM Radio's are also nice...

I've seen scores of Games and Apps posted by 100's of members all over the forum. Frankly, I never did like most of the games for some reason. I always wanted something that was action packed, easy to play in terms of controls, fast and snappy. All this and more I found in Tennis Addict by Hexacto / Jamdat. Believe me... it's a highly addictive game. You can't ever put the stylus back into the silo after this
The only other game aside from this that I enjoyed playing was Atlantis Redux 1.4 by Tetraedge. It's a 3D adventure game like Myst.... but much, much, much better. This is really a fantastic game. Great story... very intriguing, very simple controls... you don't need a rocket science degree to navigate through it and it has out of this world graphics.
I've recently started playing Syberia, although I must say I fancy it a lot lesser than Atlatis Redux.
That's what I do on my PPC to keep from getting bored. Oh and ofcourse there is Age of Empired Gold Edition.

For me the favorite past time is Mike Miller's SuperDoku. And trying to find interesting freeware on the net. Right now it is WkTask and QuickMenu 2.7.

HandySwitcher. I would die with out it.
Opera Mini (Java App.... hopefully you know what this is)
PIE+ (Add-on for PIE. Great add-on
Weather Panel (Today screen weather)
Games:
I'm a fan of Insaniquarium, SPB Minesweeper II, Titanic, and Kevtris.
Good on-the-crapper games

How have we got this far in the topic without mentioning
- Worms World Party (best loo game EVER)
- Tomb Raider (make mates jealous)
- Coreplayer 1.1 (encode some Family Guy episodes with PocketDivxEncoder and laugh through your break)
- TCPMP with FLV plugin and www.mobytube.net (trawl YouTube whenever you're bored or need to entertain the kids)
- SPB Arkaball 2 (great Arkanoid game)
- All Mobile Mines (great Minesweeper clone)
- Another World (found in the Xda-Dev FTP, was a big fan of Amiga version & this is a perfect copy)
Think that'll do for now!

Ohhh yeah, Worms World Party! Haven't played that one in a while... really gotta fire that one back up soon.

....
I mainly want to bump this thread but I like:
TCPMP
Vtap - youtube vids made easy
opera mini
MS Live Search w/ voice (for traffic and business listings)
Google Maps

Korean MMO for Windows Mobile!!!

Have anyone seen and tryied the game from SmartCell?
They got a name called shadow of legend
I downloaded it for my Artemis and it goes pretty well with Wi-Fi networking...
Don't even try to use it on GPRS mode or EDGE mode, cuz it consumes almost a whole 2GB card for files AND a lot of bandwith to work....so, WiFi is more secure not to have slowdowns during gameplay
Also, it works with a soft keypad from the own game, which saves us from having to buy a compatible qwerty keyboard........
Pretty good game, I just need to get it downloaded for PC to try on desktop too
for the ones wanting a link, here it goes: Shadow of Legend

Just for everyone that reads the thread knows, I'm in search of MMO games for Artemis/Pocket PC with Touchpad for studies....
If anyone get to know any MMORPG or other kind of MMO that can be run on Artemis, let me know, so I can study more and make better games later on!
Thanks for the hand!
Cya later ppl!

All The Best Apps You've Found For Your Blackstone

HTC TOUCH HD
Overview
Okay so all over this forum there's people asking for the best apps for the HD, well why not just make the one that people can post all of their favourite and best apps for their phone.
I don't mean the working software sticky that has everything, some that don't even work, I mean the customers choice as to whats best, both free and paid for.
The iPhone is one hell of a competition and for us WM users we need stuff that makes the WM phones just as good and with that we need the best apps, Microsoft is soon to be bringing out Marketplace but until then this'll have to do.
Happy App hunting folks.

Good Apps
okay so here goes.
Games
Need for speed Undercover
No Limit Aces Texas Hold'em
Lemonade Tycoon
Scrabble
Sim City 2000
Touch The Music
Pocket Uno
Helicopter
Morphgear
Other Little Apps
Facebook App
TomTom Navigator 7
Co Pilot
Skype
SPB Finance
SPB Wallet
Google Maps
HD Tweak
VoiceTwister
Coreplayer

what about xtrakt? its not a fantastic game but the graphics are good. the VR hologram app is also a fun app to play with.
music id (although the omnia's midomi is supposed to be superior), google maps, modaco nodata (disables GPRS), resco bubbles and brain games, shootme (gun app) and VS notepad (paid) are my favourites

I really appreciate the "Mobile Wifi Router" in blackstone. So far none of my friends actually think there's a pda that can do such thing.

Resco file explorer (paid) is a must have for me.

The first soft that comes everytime after a reflash to my Touch HD is TotalCommander (free), the second one is G-Alarm (paid).
For Geocaching its GCzII (free), for a quick Game its Chuzzle (paid) and Pocket Uno (free), for Music its MortPlayer (oh, and don't forget MortButtons, both free and despite the fact its quite useless (or you want to play a bit on the nerves of your colleagues *g*) i like the Clanger Theremin App *g*
A few Days ago i found an App for Banking on WinMobile, called "Subsembly Banking Mobile", everything you need for yor daily money-shifting, i think i will buy it, 'cause its working flawless 'till now and looks good so far.

I have TomTom 7 and Memory map on mine with all CAA charts. It is a total god send when you get sent in the field to pick up an aircraft.
This phone is perfect except for two things.
Iphone has aviation weather and loads of games.
Still wouldn't trade it though.

HDWobble or HDBoobs is a nice toy
And the Lightsaber. And BeMario is nice too

Pretty similar thread here:
What software do you have installed on your HD?
I've only just got my THD, and am still building it to me liking, so am interested in these kinds of threads

Top games on the blackstone (all wvga)

I have sifted through the games for Windows Mobile on the net and sourced the best games that work on the Blackstone. They are listed in order of how well they performed and how fun they were. They ALL work in WVGA resolution and most are from the website wvga.pda4you.org. This is undoubtedly THE best site for games on a WVGA Windows Mobile powered device. Those that can be sourced from this webpage are marked with an *.
*Xtrakt (mentioned a fair bit but bear with me)
*Experiment 13 (by the makers of the above game)
*Tower Defence
*Flight Commander
Spore
*Cops & Robbers
*Need for Speed Undercover
Assassins Creed
*Asterix and Obelix
*Earthworm Jim
*Sonic
Dreamcatcher/Totem Star Lite (Same game, different name)
*Naval Conflicts
*Autumn Dynasty
*Meltdown
If there are any other games that you know of that deserve to be on this list, just post the info.

You should take a look at TikiTowers. Really funny game. You have to build objects and bridgets so the monkeys can reach the bananas

I also love my PDA Poker - Texas Hold 'em
Source
give it a try
btw. towerdefense is really pretty awesome

i'd add zenonia to the list. it's a very good rpg game with an item/levelup system pretty much like diablo.
http://www2.gamevil.com/eng_new/index.jsp
tower defense is good but crashy!

Towerdefense is installed now on my Touch HD since about 1 or 2 months, and i havent had any crash yet. Runs smooth and stable on my HD. Do you have Neos Driverpackage installed?

the control is d-pad... ish. you can play it in landscape only. you hold your phone as if it was a joypad. on the left you have a 4-way dpad controllable with a thumb, on the right one single button used to attack and interact. there are then some elements on the screen that can be tapped. it's very intuitive anyway.
the graphics are good indeed although they are NOT opengl/3d accelerated. plain and simple 2d.
about the "is this game nice" well i can only give you my point of view OFC. if you liked diablo 1 you will mostly like this game. it's not the most complex game on earth tho, just like diablo, with a manga twist.

Great list oif games guys, I'm now hopelessly hooked on TikiTowers

Hehe same here with Zenonia, its really a pretty nice Game. Would love to have more such Games

yea sorry. i did like tiki towers till i pretty much finished it. i admit i was addicted for a while. As for Ashpault 4 it just looks bad and doesnt perform well. Thats why i didnt add it in. Thanx for the suggestions btw ill check them out

Can't launch Zenonia.. While 'loading'.. it exit the application by itself. Any idea why so?

I have had similar experiences with other games installed on the SD card. try to install the game into device memory (edit: if you installed into SD).
Also, try a soft reset, as it has also been the solution for me sometimes.
Note, this is what I have experienced on other games, and I have not tried this game.

are this games on wvga.pda4you.org free and legal?

[Poll] Your Favorite Games/Fun Apps for Blackstone

first off all, let me state, this is not supposed to become one of those "i want iphone games on my hd" threads and i am aware of the sticky post with the list of compatible games in this forum section, this is merely to collect opinions and information on certain games and fun apps for the blackstone.
please don't forget to state the version of the games for compatibility and possiblly the developer, and where one could buy those games (or in case of freeware, download them). please do not post warez links, i will report them.
since many wvga games these days are targeted at the HD2, some of them might be slow, if so, please mention that.
But now, let's get to the point:
What Games/Fun Apps are you running on your HD?
I currently have:
1. Droplets Free 2.0 (XIM INC), Puzzle game, Version 3.0, from Marketplace, free
2. Love Hurts Free (XIM INC), Arcade, Version 1.3, from Marketplace, free
3. Huff and Puff (Touch Dimensions), Puzzle, Version 1.1, from Marketplace, 1.39eur (runs slowly)
4. Experiment 13 (Southend Interactive), Puzzle/Platform, from somewhere around XDA, free (slow)
5. Xtrakt (Southend Interactive), 3D Racing/Shooting, from XDA, free (a little slow)
6. Godaft (Loffactory), Music, http://www.loffactory.webs.com/, free
7. FreeCell (nandhp), Card Game, Version 1.2, from freewareppc, free
8. BubbleBreaker, Solitaire, Teeter (pre-installed)
I think it is very hard to find decent games for the Blackstone, because while it is slower than the Leo, it also has another big issue, keeping it from being a good gaming device: It doesn't have a hardware keyboard and no multitouch, meaning, controlling classic plattform/action games is nearly impossible. Therefore, innovative game concepts like experiment 13 or huff and puff strike me the most, as they overcome these issues and offer both short time fun while waiting for the bus, as well as long time motivation.
as soon, as there are some answers in, i can maybe add an actuall poll, we'll see, how it works out till then.
