Since there are a number of threads asking for musical and game-playing advice, I’d like to ask the Dopehood for recommendations for good games on the Palm OS. Right now I am playing Bejeweled 2 and Bookworm quite a bit - games like that are my fancy. I’m not a fan of stuff like DopeWars. What do you play on your Palm? ---

> [@Hippy Hollow](#): > > What do you play on your Palm? I’ve been getting a lot of traction from _FreeJongg,_ a free version of the tile-matching game. Most of PopCap’s games are rather addictive, too. Candy Train was a habit that was damn hard for me to break… ---

I’m still playing Bubblet, and I got “Aces texas Hold’Em” as well. But Bubblet is by far my favorite… MtM ---

Bejeweled 2 is one of my favorites also. I also like my simple Sudoku program and my poker tutor and blackjack tutor programs. ---

Initially I thought no one had a Palm! Thanks for the recs… keep 'em coming! BTW, exact names of programs helps… ---

They stopped publishing the original very simple version of my sudoku program, but the latest version is at [http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/sudoku.shtml](http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/sudoku.shtml) I couldn’t find the other two I mentioned, I must have gotten them elsewhere. I get a large amount of my simple apps at [freewarepalm.com](http://freewarepalm.com). ---

My own favorite is [Keith Packard’s Patience](http://palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&prodID=1634), but only because it contains my all time favorite solitaire card game–Yukon. [Niggle](http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7724,00.asp) is also good, if you like Scrabble. The story behind Niggle is that the developer and his wife _loved_ Scrabble. Since they travelled a lot, he wrote a version of Scrabble that could be played on his Palm when they were on a train or plane. He couldn’t license or charge for the first few versions because of copyright/trademark laws, so he distributed it for free until Milton-Bradley purchased the code. The most recent versions are [pay versions](http://www.handmark.com/products/detail.php?id=51). [Marbles](http://palmsource.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&prodID=44842) is also cool, if you want something that requires only a little thinking, and is mostly good for passing the time. [Vexed](http://palmsource.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&catid=0&prodid=120899) is also a very good puzzle game.
