Blogging Ottinger (tim)Games on GP2X
I am amazed. I have the following games on my gp2x, all from the german GP2X file archive.
I have to ask my kids how to play them. I’m trying to become interested in video gaming to help a friend and to have something else to do with my kids. I know that it’s a bad habit, and I’ve really never caught on to video gaming, but I’m trying.
Here is my current list:
- Altitude: kinda cheesy game to fly a plane through a cave.
- BubbleX: A game like SameGame - match colors and pop bubbles.
- ConnyCarrot: a silly platform game
- Ms Drill: A platform “drill through the ground” game.
- EgoBoo: Some kind of adventure game, looks pretty, cool sounds
- GemDropX: Puzzle game.
- Heretic: the classic Doom-like dungeon FPS
- Heroes: tron lightcycles on steroids
- Net-Bubble: Frozen-bubble-like game for handhelds
- PowerManga: Arcade space shoot-em-up
- PowerSlide: An odd little auto racing game
- Pulp: A rough early version of
- Sudoku: If you don’t live under a rock you know this
- SuperTux: Linux platform game
- Volley2X: Penguin volleyball
- Xigon: A space shoot-em-up.
The amazing thing about all of this is that it takes up almost no space on my SD car. Running “du -sh” tells me I’m only using 177MB for all of that. It’s got to be wrong. That’s just not enough for all the fun. And that total also includes the base MAME setup. I don’t have any ROMs to use with mame (looking for free/legal ones) so I didn’t list it as one of my games.
Well, when I fill up that 1GB sd I think I’ll have a whole arcade in my hand. I hope that I learn how to figure out games and start to enjoy them. I’m staying positive.
