(Oh, how could I forgot - they were featured in SPb AirIslands as a way to earn resources! So that game was also a minigame colection.) but my favourite is their take on Brain Training called SPb Brain Evolution.

Speaking of SPb Software House, which made a lot of amasing software for Windows Mobile - I always liked their interpretations of classics like Sudoku, Xonix, Arcanoid and others. It even had a screensaver mode where the game's light version was automatically lauched after several minutes of device idle so your island could live by its own. There was even a bunch of full-fledged RTS games, like Warfare Incorporated (which, again, benefitted indefinitely from stylus controls), and some interesting mash-ups like SPb AirIslands, combining elements of strategy games and city simulations with Animal Crossing-like real-time nature.

Did you like PC gaming in the 90s? Well, you will definitely love Pocket PC's share of games.
But if you are talking about games, Pocket PC sure lived to its name. But the topic I want to discuss now is the fact that Pocket PC, despite its focus on business (look at these tasks and appointments!), was actually one of the best gaming platforms of its time, tragically overlooked by most of people.Īs you understand, in reality "Pocket PC" was just a clever marketing move since, well, TI/MIPS/ARM-based device just cannot be compared to x86 PC - mobile gadget is mobile gadget, and nothing more. That was the brief course of history no one ever asked. Microsoft and its partners had their 15 minutes of market domination until consumer smartphone marked, with the help of iPhone and Android-based devices, destroyed the whole PDA/communicator market by late 2000s to early 2010s. But in the mid-2000s, Palm failed to keep up with times - their then-current OS was very limited and aged bad, their then-new OS was finished but never released, and they failed to Windows Mobile. Palm machines were less functional but way more popular due to better usability, better mobility and better price. Remember these clunky little devices called Pocket PCs, by the name of Microsoft's operating system (later renamed Windows Mobile) they were powered by? They were aimed at enterprise sector and computer enthusiasts and tried to compete with Palm PDAs in early 2000s.
