I want to get a list of must have games for my gtablet, so far I have Jet Car Stunts (works great after re-calibration in the options menu) and Angry birds...
What are some other really good games that work well on this tablet ?
You didn't mention which ROM you are rocking but if it isn't one of the newer ones - Stupid Zombies is hilarious fun.
Also Pocket Legends (which works great on Bottle of Smoke HC port) is extremely addicting. I spent two hours playing today and hardly noticed.
Oh, I am on Bottle of Smoke 3.3 ... I assume Stupid Zombies doesn't work on BoS ? I have also noticed I am unable to download stuff through Market lately Maybe I should change to a more stable ROM ...
I'm on Vegan GE and this is the list of games I got working perfectly:
Fruit Ninja
Doodle Jump
Riptide GP
TurboFly 3D
Samurai Vengeance II
They are all pretty damn good. A couple are Tegra exclusives. But they all cost between $1 and $7. Riptide is $7... a little much but its one of the best of the bunch.
Get Android Market...every day they have a free (paid)app download, yesterday's was yoo ninja. It works, but screen is upside down (have to hold tablet with softkeys in your left hand.)
Games I like:
Bolded ones were acquired free from Amazon
The following run fine in landscape mode:
Angry Birds (obviously)
backbreaker (HD) - Football, control running back ot avoid tackles
Samurai II (HD) - Scrolling mash 'em up fighting game
Hero of Sparta - same as ^^
Gem Miner: Dig Deeper - control a miner to find precious metals/gems
Dillo Hills - Android version of tiny wings...gliding and jumping game
Air Control - plan safe landing paths for planes...not as easy as it sounds
Guerilla Bob - scrolling shooter
Guns 'n Glory - pussle based kill the villagers game
Pool Break Pro - best pool game I've probably EVER played
Raging Thunder 2 - racing game, in HD
Shadow Era - Magic the Gathering type game, can be played on, or off line
Walkabout - move a little guy around to collect stars, pussle game
Virtual Table Tennis - uh...ping pong
Hungry Shark - you're a shark and you're hungry...eat things
impossible - not REALLY impossible, just annoying, jump a block to clear obstacles
The following must be run in portrait mode
Air Attack - vertical scrolling airplane shooter
Roller - Skee ball game
Spin Air Hockey - 1 or 2 player air hockey...good, but sometimes my 7 year old son doesn't get the point that multitouch is picky
Pinball deluxe - pinball, pretty cool
Meteor - kind of like Breakout from Atari, but modern and updated
The following run in landscape, but inverted, so your left hand is holding the tablet near hte softbuttons
Deathworm - the movie Tremors? yeah, you're the worm, and you kill things
Yoo ninja - make a ninja jump over gaps
There are other games that I've downloaded from Amazon that either didn't work, or I just don't play (uninstalled) BUT, the fact that they are free...I download them anyway.
Gun bros is a Mega time killer.
Speed x is also a ton of fun.
Open tyrien is an awesome top view flying shooter.
Dweller is my favorite old school rogue like dungeon rpg.
Super tumble is a very cool physics puzzler.
Realms of fortune is an epic first person RPG.
Frozen bubble is good classic puzzle bobble gameplay.
Shadow era is a really fun card based straregy RPG.
The other night, I was looking for racing games that used the tablet's accelerometer to steer and the best ones I found were Riptide GP (jet ski racing) and Raging Thunder 2 (car racing). I had to adjust the steering sensitivity on both of these to get them to drive nicely, but since I did that they both work great. The handling on Riptide GP is a little bit more responsive than it is on Raging Thunder 2, but they both work pretty well after the adjustments.
Most of the other racing games I've tried so far either didn't work or weren't that great:
-Need For Speed Shift said the device was not supported
-Asphalt 5 would get to the menu screen, then would become completely unresponsive
-Raging Thunder (the original one) tilted the accelerometer default about 45 degrees to the right so that you'd have to hold the tablet at an angle just to go straight
-Bang Bang Racing THD (one of the games featured in TegraZone) worked fine, but the view of your car was a little weird and the controls didn't use the accelerometer, so I uninstalled it
Running CM 7.0.3
Reckless Racing by Polarbit plays and looks awesome on the tab. (using Vegan 5.1.1).
For a freebie, iRunner is pretty entertaining and plays well too.
9innings works great for baseball fans.
I quite enjoy playing Full Tilt Rush Poker (with play money of course). Game works fine in landscape.

Full Tilt Rush's domain has been seized by the FBI and the whole "real money" aspect has been called into question.
That said, the game still downloads from market fine, you just can't play it on HC (requires flash) so I can't comment on play.

Hi, we all know that there is a huge lack of good, high quality games for android. So i would like to start a thread that picks the best out of the pool.
Here is my best-of:
- Jewellust (far better than Bejeweled)
- Devilry Huntress (like Jewellust)
- Christallight Defense
- Bonsai Blast
- Gameboid (Gameboy Advance Emulator, works great!)
- Buka
- Totemo (when its out!)
What are your favourite HIGH Quality Games?
retro defence
snesoid - works fine
scummvm - I've run monkey island and day of the tentacle so far
xgalaga
and light racer is pretty good fun also (although maybe not HQ)
+Recommended
Robo Defense
Orbs knock off
Labyrinth (the 3d tilt effect works brilliant ingame)
+Pretty
Super-G stunt (or anything by that company)
The doom emulator / port
Streets of rage 3 on gensoid
super mario world on snesoid
armadillo roll
buka
3d cube demo
+1 for Robo Defense
I also like these games:
Cestos - draw the directions you want the balls to go to try to push opponent's balls into a hole... play against people online makes it even more fun
Trap! - divide box into smaller boxes without getting hit by bouncing balls
Baseball Superstars 2009 is quite fun too even though I don't know much about baseball

All I know, that pretty much on my first Android boot and Market visit, I downloaded Doom from the Market, turned on my Wifi, and in the Doom application clicked on 'download shareware .WAD' and 'download sounds'. And it works fine.
So either something is wrong with your Doom installation or Hero, or (more likely) your WAD still isn't entirely compatible with _this_ port.

Its a good game, but as you say, its an iphone port. and it seems its not ported very well. its slow, its not responsive, so its not big fun.
What about HeroCraft and PDAMill. Why dont they port their really good games like Snails, Gamebox Solitaire to Android?
Not that impressed with the games. Keeping fingers crossed. Like Light Racer though.

So simple yet very addictive. Been playing a fair bit and still not exhausted the free version to warrant buying the full one yet.
I like ProjectINF(actually this game is super fun some lag though in my area) umm Dojo Cubed is fun, Guitar Hero World Tour, AWplanet has potential if you can put up with the movement.
Some other games
The Sims 3
Sim City Metropolis
Hi Peepz!
im a fan of good games, that can waste some time to play.
i just wonder where those game can download for free
those quality one's
like SpaceWars etc..
thanks! and sorry for this nab post =D
Retro Defense, the only game I will play on the G1. It's a little laggy, in comparison to running it on an overclocked droid, or N1, but I've gotten used to it.
I also use NESoid, GENSoid, and other emulators. Besides that I haven't found any other games worth while.
I really like Cestos.
Raging thunder
Raging thunder 2(lil laggy)
asphalt
Zenonia(See here)RPG game, played on my Ipod-touch
Emulators(very fun)
Speedx 3D
light racer 3d

Not sure if you meant that you didnt find any roms worthwhile. Well the latest 2 games that I am playing and worth checking out, Alien Hominid and Warioware for GAMEBOY ADVANCE.
Happy hunting everyone!

asphalt won't run on my g1, if i install asphalt 5, it install aphalt 3 ... what i've to do?
Respectfully, there are a lot good/great games (counting the emus). Android has a lot of fun stuff (but mainly the great emulators).
These games and apps are worthy on my G1 and its app small memory. There are about ten other worthy games, but I am out of space
Thunder 2
Jewellust
3 Point Shootout
Air Attack
Basket Ball
Bit Blocks
Armored Strike
Friction Mobile
Jewels
Papijump
Shoot U!
Sky Force
Solitaire
Salvo
Gensoid
Nesoid
Snesoid
Gboids
Android Arcade
PCE16
UAE4Droid
Segoid
GBCoid
Frodo 64
Jarcade
LightRacer3D!!!
Hope I don't repeat any of the great games already mentioned, here's a couple more:
Droid Mini Golf (Best mini golf game available. Swipe with your finger on screen to shoot ball. Direction and swiping speed determin ball direction and speed. There's even global tournaments where you have to play a certain course on a certain day for world rankings)
Build-a-Lot (I'm surprised at how much I like this sim game)
AirHockey (by jjcgames)
Pobs (I know this game from PC as "Hexagon", it's awesome)
Maejong (better than other free Mahjongg solitaire games, worth the $.99)
Towers (xi-art, beautiful Towers solitaire game)
WordUp! (word seeker)
Mancala (I had never heard of this board game, but it's easy to learn and fun to play)
What the Doodle!? (online pictionary, like iSketch, and with much less cheating than in Sketch Online also for Android)
Backgammon Lite (beautiful)
Toss It (throw crumpled paper balls into a basket with a fan blowing at varying speeds)
AndroMaze (for the programmers among us. "Program" the little android to reach the end of the maze in as little moves as possible)
What are some of your must have games for Captivate?
I currently have the angry bird series and beat on my phone
Pocket racing and wild west sheriff
Sent from a rock on fire in the middle of the sea
Hexdefense
Honestly fruit ninja. Sickest game. Just tried it the other day for the first time & I can't stay away from it
Guns n Bros
You guys should check out Cordy - I get a bit of lag at some parts but otherwise runs beautifully on the Captivate. The game itself is very impressive, although there aren't many levels at the moment. Totally free!
Pew pew. And pew pew 2 good stuff.

Spectral Souls - As far as I know the ONLY Strategy JRPG type on the market and IIRC it's a PSP port, but it's very well done and looks and plays amazing.
Game Dev Story - It's very simple but incredibly addicting. I don't know what genre you'd throw this in besides casual, but you take a game company from nothing and turn it to greatness.
Wordsmith - This is my favorite Scrabble clone, I prefer this over Words With Friends and Wordfeud. It just looks better to me and the on the fly score preview is great for those like me who don't care for manual counting.
3 Kingdoms TD - This is an odd game, but amazingly well done and my favorite Tower Defense game at the moment. It gets constantly updated with enough content that you would thing would be charged for, but it's all free (outside the purchase of the game of course). The graphics are great, it has a mildly bizarre storyline and it's very addicting.
Zenonia 2 is a great old school rpg game, Demon Hunter is pretty decent as well.

I concur regarding these two.
Also would have to add:
Radiant HD - Nostalgia at it's finest, harkening back to the days of Space Invaders, with a corny storyline, and relaxing music to go along with it.
Gailardia - Also brings back memories, this time of NES RPG's [namely Dragon Warrior], and has a painful difficulty curve [going from area to area requires several level ups before it's even survivable]. I'd only recommend for the hardcore RPG gamer.
Illusia - Originally an iOS game [had it on my iPod Touch.. don't shoot me for owning one ], and is quite good for a sidescroller RPG. Faintly reminiscent of Maple Story.
Definitely Cordy, Angry Birds, and Words with Friends. I did see that Adult Swim did release Robot Unicorn Attack finally for Android. It is a bit laggy, but still really fun to play.
Mini squadron is alot of fun!
Tap Tap Revenge 4!!
Backbreaker.

Did you try the new version? You can disable the background. It's running very good for me now ... not perfect but it's playable.
Raging Thunder lags like crap. Our Heros dont seem to be made for games or the hardwares are not utilised. The only games that work fine are those crappy 2d games and some 3d ones like, speedx.
paper toss
ninjump
tank hero
steamball
glyder 2 (a bit laggy, but its playable)
hyper jump (doodle jump clone, looks very good)
slice it
geared (doesn´t save the progress sometimes, don´t know why)
SNES Emulator worked also really good for me.
Motoxtreme
Tank Hero
Glow Hockey (didn't show up in market before my ginger rom, though. If it doesn't for you, you could try Air Hockey Speed )
Angry Birds Rio (a lot better than standard)
The FREE Tiger Emulators (Game Boy, Snes osv, makes me regret i bought Gameboid )
I am playing these games on my Hero.
Free Running
Maze
Minesweeper
Roller(lite)
SFCave
UConnect
Pool Master
Backgammon
Chalk Ball Lite
Robo Defense
Space Buster 3D
Glass Destroyer
Angry Frogs(Angry Birds is too laggy for Hero)
Tron Lights (for two players)
YooNinja
Pool break (Pro or Lite) is one of the best game I played on my Hero! This game is so realistic and really smooth, I was surprised that the hero could run a such game!
tank hero
angry birds
fruit ninja (nice game but ><)

can anyone give me normal, playable Texas Holdem poker? I need offline game.
What are some of the best Android games to use the power of the nexus? I mostly play computer games, right now my main game I play on my phone is Texas Hold 'Em.
I am also aware of N64 and Playstation emulators, will probably mess around with some games on those. But right now I feel like I'm missing a void. I have this power house phone and I only play Hearthstone and poker on it.
What can you recommend me? I mostly enjoy multiplayer games. I absolutely can't stand waiting games, like Clash of Clans or Boom Beach. Sorry for being so vague
Hey, if you're into arcade-type games and don't mind wasting some time away there is a cool pinball one called Zen Pinball HD; be forwarned it only comes with one table and the rest require a small sum to be spent. They just released a Portal (from Valve) based table which I'm addicted to at this time. This one is single player.
Otherwise, if you want multiplayer there is one called Taichi Panda which is multiplayer and has stuff going on at all times. They have just received an update which raised the level cap. If you decide to jump on this one, play on server US-S16 Gubbly and add me, my IGN is LiQuiDDiGitZ.
It depends what you like really.
Dead trigger 2 looks great with the graphics set all the way up, however I don't like the control system.
Some of my favourite games that look nice:
Warhammer 40,000 Space wolf (beta) - Geeky turn based strategy
Need for Speed Most wanted - Arcade racer
GT Racing 3 - Nearly simulation racer
Hitman Go - puzzle / micro strategy
Modern Combat 4 - FPS, much better control system than Dead trigger 2
Edge of Tomorrow - FPS based on the Movie
Sould Calibur - Sega Dreamcast "port" beat em up
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - Space flight / trading / dog fighting
Limbo - 2d platform game
Frozen Synapse Prime - Sort of a turn based strategy
GTA San Andreas - Needs no introduction
IMHO Emulated games are always a let down. The controls work poorly on a touch screen and the graphics are never as good as native games. PSP games look OK but you're stuck with one joystick which is a pain in modern gaming.
6 best multiplayer android games 2016
1. Clash of Clans - is without doubt the most grossing game on every ones list. Not to forget, the game has already been awarded the best multiplayer game in 2013. This probably is one such game which shall never go out of trend. Here, basically what you do is protect your village from the enemy.
2. 8 Ball Pool - This one is for all the peace loving people out there. Generally people associate multiplayer games on android with fighting and war; but this is one of the best games to keep you busy and well entertained. If you like billiards and you can play it well on your android phones, then this is it for you.
3. Ice Age Village - Now that is something, isn’t it? All you do is unlock levels by building up a new habitat for all the characters from the movie. Though there isn’t much to do (unlike COC, which needs you to come back every once in a while), but it surely is a great way to pass your leisure time.
While you visit the villages created by your friends, you also get additional benefits and points. What makes this game stand out is the fact that it needs nothing much to be done; just work on it when you feel like doing nothing and you have your way out!
4. Asphalt 8: Airborne - is a one of the best racing multiplayer game on Android. A game from Gameloft needs no definition, and this is asphalt we are talking about. This is one of the most trending game from the entire series of Asphalt and I am sure it has surely been the all time favorite of any of you!
5. Modern Combat 5: Blackout - This one is probably the ideal replacement for Call of Duty on your android phones. This is a great multiplayer game on your android devices. Team up with your other friends on the game and fight the enemy. The leader boards allow you to keep a track of how fairly you have performed; all you need to do here is make use of the right weapon, right tactic, at the right time.
6. Words With Friends - The best multiplayer game to always keep up with the times when you are bored. This game allows you to chat with friends, challenge people who you think you can out do and of course better your vocabulary. Play it with the best possible person who matches your level and see if you can still be the winner.
