Space TraderSpace Trader from Black Cat's Lab is not a strict port of the original "Space Trader" on the Palm OS, but more like "inspired by". Some mechanics are same, yet others are different.

This game brings back some nostalgia as I actually wrote an FAQ for the Space Trader on PalmOS, a free game. It no longer apply here.

Game wise, the limited amount of terms feels very tight, as one turn basically means one inter system jump, and making money is actually very easy, as the profit margin on steady trading runs is pretty constant. It will take a VERY long time (a dozen turns) to deplete the market. The lack of Galactic map also limits its appeal. The developer also doesn't seem to speak English, as some of the language, as shown in the screenshot, is odd.

Still, give it a try. How much profit can you eek out in 50 turns or 100 turns?

Chessroad Chinese ChessFor those of you who knows Chinese Chess (which may predate the Western version), there's an app on the Android that has a pretty strong AI engine.

The rules are very similar between Western Chess and Chinese Chess. The Pawns are still pawns. Knights are still knights, and rooks are still rooks. Even the movement rules are the same.

There is only one problem: the app is in Chinese. But if you read Chinese well enough to figure out the pieces, or if you know the Chinese Chess pieces pretty well, you may want to give it a try. It is certainly a change from the regular chess, and an intellectual challenge.

Bubble DefenseBubble Defense is a variation of Tower Defense, where the enemies move along a pre defined path, and your job is just to place and upgrade the towers. There are only four types of towers, but each have three upgrade levels, and the game comes with multiple maps (different paths).

The towers are regular, six shooter, flame (only to thaw the "frozen" bubbles), and teleport (send the target back to beginning of the path). Upgrades make them shoot more often and cover larger areas. The idea is to let as few bubbles through as possible.

The bubbles can be rather devious, as some contain lesser bubbles when burst, while the ice bubbles need to be "thawed" by the flame tower. Some bubbles are fast, some are slow, so you will need all types.
