I recently saw the Starcraft port to windows mobile, tried it out, works great!
It reminded me of an awesome strategy game i use to play called Z: Commander Zod by the Bitmap Bros.

I believe it to be highly possible that this game can be ported over since it was dev in 1996 and Its very similar to Starcraft graphics wise. This game is very hard to find, i dont even think you can buy it anymore. If any dev's out there are interested i can rar the whole game and send it over to them, the size will be almost 700mb's.
that was a great game
it will be great on ppc
Hello,
I am a gamer, and I am quite new to tablets.. and one of things that is bothering me - is there a possibility to use tablet as "remote touch screen".
I mean - lets say we start some game on PC - let the high-end pc hardware do all the rendering and stuff AND then compress it a bit in real-time AND stream it to tablet over WiFi -> so basically you have any PC app "running" on tablet...
(add to that some control conversion from touch to pc mouse-clicks - and most titles should be playable not-so-bad level)
Is something like this possible? Or maybe tegra3 is still not powerful enough to handle that? (or maybe its impossible to real-time compress 720p video to size that would go easy over wifi (20-30 mbit/s ?) ? - if I remember 720p video is present in some skype but I do not know how lag-free it is...)
Just wondering...
Thanks for answers.
Yes. Two things to look into. First, plain old VNC (google it), which has been around forever. The best android VNC client I've used so far is TeamView. Others may have other favorites.
Second, there is a service called OnLive strictly for remotely streaming games to various devices. They have (recently, I believe) released an android client.
Splashtop HD is the best for what you looking for. its built into the Prime. its in the Mycloud app. OnLive is a gaming server client on its own. you choose PC/console games they have on their server. which is alot. you can't set up your own thing with Oblige. Onlive is everything within itself. the streaming game play is great and virtually no lag. play games like PC Nvidia version of Batman Arkham city, Homefront, Metro 2033, Aliens vs. Predator FPS, New Quake, Darksiders, Street Fighter 4 n tons more.

Does anyone that's used both have any thoughts on how Splashtop HD compares to Teamviewer? Is it worth the price tag (Teamviewer being free)?
TV is dead simple to use, but it would never confuse it with using my PC directly. If there is something faster and smoother I'm all for switching...

I don't have my prime in hand to check, but I believe it comes with Splashtop.
Edit: demandarin explained above...

It does, as demandarin already explained above.

You might also want to look into OnLive. They recently released an Android app for their game streaming service. Some games are modified to allow for touch screen control. You can use a game pad as well...

Oops... OnLive already mentioned...ah well, I second the suggestion then!
Prime comes with splashtop installed, but if your looking to play games that are streamed off of a PC you want OnLive.
The Prime can handle the streaming part just fine. Splashtop has had the best results for me (best frame rate and picture quality).
There are three major issues you should know about though with Splashtop and your application assuming you are using either the dock or an external mouse and keyboard.
1st - You cannot play the games on you PC in full screen. I'm not sure if it is the same in all remote desktop programs, but there is apparently a difference in the way windows and directx handle the graphics when you have either windowed or full screen. Splashtop can't capture full screen and therefore can only play games in windowed mode.
2nd - Android does not have a right click. Even if you hook up a mouse, right click will be mapped to the back button. This sucks for games in a big way. Some of the RDP software I've seen have a trick for this to get right click, but I haven't had luck gaming with those.
3rd - Splashtop does not mouse track. What this means is that even though you see your mouse cursor moving around on you tablet screen (assuming you are using an external mouse), Splashtop only registers its location when you click on something. The effect is that games like first person shooters won't work properly since you can't look around with the mouse like you normally would. Again, other RPD software out there has this ability, but like before, they didn't work well for games for me.
I would love for this thing to work for playing PC games remotely, but at the moment it just isn't quite there. Splashtop updates frequently, so maybe in the near future they will implement things to fix the last two issues.
Hello ,
is anybody know if there's an android answer to apple's ipad\iphone games apps controller .
I wonder if there are games that can be controlled from the phone
and be displayed on the computer's screen.
thanx .
Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has managed to play dungeon defenders cross platform between pc and android? me and my friend are trying to LAN this together using my tablet and his pc so we can be in the same room when playing. We have tried hosting games through Gamespy Normal and LAN modes. We have both tried to host and both tried finding each others game and we can't do it, we can however find other peoples games (im assuming we're on the same platform)
so my question is - has anyone done this yet?/done anything I havn't to get it working?
Is this even out yet? I couldn't find anything online that would indicate it isn't out yet.
lately i'm running android application on my PC with bluesatcks, its kind of emulator for android.
but some application didn't work, like game from gamevil, ex: fishing superstars and moster warlord. and it says ""warning: unlawful activity"
Is there anyway for running monster warlord on BlueStacks?
and if it possible to play on it, can anyone tell me how?
