Also, I just found Arcade Reality by the same company - it’s amazing - an augmented reality game that uses the Treo’s camera - on the screen, you see your actual surroundings - the room you’re standing in - overlaid with attacking aliens, floating asteroids and stuff - when you move the phone, the program detects it and the overlaid graphics move with the real-life background. Amazing for a handheld device.

I have Quadrapop (sort of like Tetris with various objects falling down and they have to be arranged inc ertainw ays) and Vijay Singh Pro Golf (a rather nice golf game).

No solitaire or chess though.

That’s the game I came into this thread to recommend. It’s the most technologically sophisticated game I’ve ever seen on a cell phone.

I just wish that it had a dead-simple gameplay mode (besides the first tutorial) so I could easily show it to people who’ve never played it before. Oh, and that Asteroids mode is just too damn hard.
