Hello and welcome to the largest compiled list of games/applications for the Pocket PC on PPCgeeks.com. I am working to upload as many games/applications as I can to make it easy for PPC users to download games/applications for their phones.

I got sick of searching the forums for every program I wanted. Yes, I could find them but I wanted a thread I could go to and find every game/app I would need for my phone. So I decided to do it myself!

Please do not discuss the games/applications in this thread! If you want to talk about them - please create a new forum or search for a forum that already discusses the game/application. We are trying to keep this thread as low-clutter as possible!

If you have a good recommendation that is not showing up on my list of games/apps then Private Message it to me and I will get it up and reviewed!

---------------------------------------
News / Thread Updates
---------------------------------------

Update: I have now included links to the page number the game is reviewed at to make it easier to find specific games!

Update: I have included brief descriptions of each program on the front page for easier navigation. I have also listed if the program/application is free for those who are looking for a quick list of free downloads.

The free version of frogger is the one that I have tried. Clunky graphics, not the best quality but a great and fun game to play.

-------------------------------------------------

PAY VERSION:

Price: $14.99
No Known Trial Version

Never played this, about the same as the above version with better graphics.

The link appears to be off for the free version. Does anyone else know where I can get the classic Frogger for Windows Mobile?

The best section would probably be off-topic: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18

But to answer your question, you need to put the .cab file into a .zip file. Either that, or you can change the extension to .zip. To upload, press "Manage Attachments" under the box that you are typing your message in. You will then have an option to upload. Select your file, then wait until its done uploading. Then hit close window, and post your message.

Emulate thousands of games on your Pocket PC. My favorite of which is Grand Theft Auto for GBA! Awesome and fun. A must and 100% worth the money. Tons of configurations and easy to use.

I installed the GBA cab but I cant operate it cause there is no icon that appears after installing it :/

Gentlemen I'm so disappointed with HTC Touch pro 2 when it come to GAME. Please help
I see there are so many cool games you post on here and i've tried a few but i can not play it because there is no navigational controller pad on touch pro 2. Can someone please shed some light as to how you play these game without using the physical keyboard? Because when i put in Landscape mode in order to use the keyboard it then mess up the game. the graphic is all mess up. How do you control the game in the Portrait mode?
