Games for the Gamers

How many people who frequent this forum and help out, or develop games for a living or otherwise, are actually gamers? i am for one. I was just wondering how many people who develop games have actually played a game before and know what the gamers want.

the LOTR games, or Tenchu 3.(insert old geezer voice here)
Bah. You kids these days. With your new fangled
graphics and slick gaming controllers, you have no
idea what real gaming is. Back in my day, we
played the likes of Wing Commander, Doom, Duke Nukem
(without any wussy three-deee), Commander Keen, Mario
Brothers, and Zelda (again, without no stinkin'
three-dee). Heck, I remember the first handheld video
game. It was a game of football with 3 rows by 8
columns of lights. You'd try to get your light past
the other lights. It had no fancy graphics and we
liked it that way.
(end old geezer voice)
Seriously, I'd like to see more of a return to games
that are made to be fun not just flashy. Most of the
games you mention are the later. For example, what
ever happened to Graphical Adventure games like Star
Trek: A Final Unity or The Dig or Roger Wilco!? I still think some of the best games I have ever played were Defender, Dig Dug, Robotron, etc, and many Commodore 64 games. Those held my attention much longer than most "modern" games. I do like StartCraft, however, because of it's great plot line and playability.

I have not been able to update my fairy farm game for the last 5days as it quit at launch. I am afraid to delete and reinstall the game as i might lose all. Anyone knows if there is an update for this game? Please help. Thanks

Are there any WWI flying games for the mac?

Are there any WWI flying games for the modern mac? (Computer)
The only one's I can find are on line.
Which isn't always an option when traveling.

You might want to search in the App Store.

Will games for the iPhone ever be able to play on the iTouch?

I have some games I bought for my old iPod which don't work on my iTouch, but will the new iPhone games ever work on the Touch?

Your old iPod games will not work on the iPod Touch (unless they are ported over by the developer). However, new games for the iPhone/iPod Touch will be available through the App Store, starting next month. You'll need to buy the $10 v2.0 Upgrade for your IPT to access the App Store, and then you can download the games (some will likely be free, some paid, some with a free 'light' version and a paid 'full' version).
Hope this helps...

What's a good forge game for the iPad?

I was wondering if there was a game for the iPad kind of like Gary's Mod or the forge on Halo Reach.

There isn't one, and there won't be one. Apple and Adobe could never get a flash player that worked. And now since Adobe has ceased all production on mobile flash, there won't ever be one.
Your best alternative is to explore the app store for browsers that support flash and see if one of them will do what you want.

Games for the nano 6th generation

Question for Apple:
Are the any plans for additional updates. For example it would be good if there were a few basic apps/games for the nano considering the price associated with it.
Please note I understand that there is limitation to what can be added due to the size, however I do believe that adding simple card games such as solitaire, hearts, black-jack would really enhance the product and increase customer satisfaction of the product.
I brought this Ipod to replace my classic version with probably the same size screen(but not touch) and that came with games.

Are you referring to the iPod Classic that you can currently buy? If yes, that screen is quite a bit larger but more importantly you use the click wheel as control for any games, such as solitaire, black jack, etc.
With the current touch screen you would have to have awfully small hands and very good eyes to use the screen to control the game plus see what was happening at the same time. But it really doesn't matter as there is no Software Development Kit (SDK) available to developers for the Nano OS, so there is no possible way for them to develop games.
If with all these limitations you would still pay for games on the Nano (not sure what the price has to do with it), you need to send your request to Apple, they are not here.

Games for the Nano?

I cant find games that will work for the nano on itunes. what BS are they trying to pull with only games for the touch and iphone?

I've read a lot of the posts on this forum, but I don't seem to see a real answer to this question. Most responses just seem to point to where the clickwheel games are listed. However, as some others have said on other posts, although the top of that page states that these games are compatible with 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation iPod nano (and a few other iPod models), if you look at the individual game descriptions, not a single one lists 5th generation nano. One (I forget which) only lists 3rd gen, and all the others list 3rd and 4th. So, it is not at all clear if any of these will work on the 5th generation nano. So just saying where the clickwheel games are doesn't really help.
I don't have time to read every comment on every game (especially when most of them are like, "Hey Apple - we want free games!" or "Make Guitar Hero!"), so I am hoping that someone here will have some answers. I have managed to glean that the .99 games of Chinese Checkers and Reversi don't work on 5th generation because parts, but not all, of the images are reversed so things don't line up. I did find one post on this forum that said that Monopoly does work. Can anybody say from their own experience which games they have tried on 5th gen, and which ones worked or didn't work? If you have any opinions on the games themselves, that would be great, too - for example, when I was reading about Yahtzee, apparently the computer plays like a moron so it's not worth playing the computer on that one.
I won a 5th gen nano at my office Christmas party, and am a complete novice at this, so any help is appreciated! I am really enjoying the games that came loaded on it, and would like to add some more, but I am not sure there are any on iTunes that actually work with this specific model.
TIA!!!!!!

Good training apps/ games for the iPhone?

Making a game for the iPhone and iPod touch!!!

Hi, I'm not really sure if this is where this thread belongs, but I couldn't find a better fit category, sorry!
Anyway.
I'm a complete NOOB at making games. I'm a complete NOOB at flash animations and coding a game with the iPhone SDK. In fact, I have NEVER coded ANY game in my LIFE before, nor touched flash development programs, with the only exception being a month or two using Game Maker 2.0 which involved about 3 lines of code per game .
I want to develop a quality game for the App store and sell it. My basic idea is using flash to animate some people and having a sniper-type layout where you have to shoot things. (Sorry if I'm being vague, I dont want anyone to take my idea. There's more to it, including one really "clever" aspect of the game (in my mind) which is why I think I can get it to sell.) If its a really great quality game, how long do you estimate it will take me, start to finish, including learning to code with the SDK, to finish this project? 3 weeks? 2 months?
Thanks!

Hello,
You can't use Flash as that's not available for the iPhone/iPod touch.
You can find out about developing for the platform here:

Any More Games for the Ipod Available?

Is there anywhere at which I could download more games for the Ipod? I'm kind of doubting there is just because the click wheel probably isn't best used as a game controller, but anyway, I'm curious. Oh yeah, if there are any games, I want to make sure they're secure, I don't want them to mess up my Ipod simply because they were made of poor quality.

You can install text-based games that are played through the iPod's notes feature without voiding the warranty.

Why is it that Apple no longer offers games for the ipod classic?

I just purchased an ipod classic and i just realized that I can't find any games for download on itunes. I also have an ipod nano and I know that Apple used to offer games for ipods other than the touch. Now they act like the touch is the only ipod that exists. I'm starting to think i should just return the ipod and go with a different brand of Mp3. My family has been telling me to get a Cowon and now I'm starting to wish i'd listened.
Thanks a lot Apple. You might be getting this product back.

Good strategy/simulation game for the iPad?

I want a strategy or simulation game for my iPad that I can play either for hours or just for a few minutes. Something similar to Farmville or Tiny Tower, but very entertaining. The graphics and overall design need to be good.

Here's a few:
