The diamond has a lot of very good features, but sadly the Dpad makes a lot of games very hard to play. I like games, so what I propose is whenever someone finds a game that either uses the Stylus or has controls that can be setup to work well on the diamond, they post it here.


Microquad
Price $14.95
http://www.viex.org/?page=microquad
"Your mission is to race a quad bike around 24 different tracks and to attempt to move your way through the levels which are Baby Cup, Junior Cup, Pro Cup, Master Cup and Expert Cup. Each level include 4 very detailed and varied tracks and you also get the choice of 6 different quad bikes which have different specialities for Road, Off Road and Grip."

You also pick up items around the track like missiles, speed boosts, oil slicks etc which are a lot of fun.

Controls: Use auto acceleration and the Dpad, or use on-screen buttons, both work really well.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Price: Free
http://esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html
"You'll be put in the middle of a thriving landscape of cities. In order to become the transportation tycoon, you'll need to build trains, planes, ships, and automobiles and send them off to make you rich."

This is open source free project, but you need some files from the original game.

Controls: Use the Stylus mainly and a button for right-click.

Snails Reloaded
Price: $14.95
http://www.pdamill.com/prod_sn.shtml
"Our classic, award-winning, action-strategy game for Windows Mobile devices features incredible gameplay coupled with fantastic graphics, audio, and humor!"

Controls: Stylus.







Please add to this post, in the format I've used, and I'll update the first post with other peoples suggestions and my own as I try out more games.

All the classic lucasart games and some older sierra ones can be played with Scummvm for CE/Arm.
At least 3 adventure games are freeware, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen and Lure of the Temptress.

I've tried Transport Tycoon Deluxe and it's just impossible to play. The text is too small, it's readable not like on the Trinity, but it's so small you'll have a headache after 5 minutes. Also there's a lot of using the stylus at the very edges of the screen and it appears that the Diamond doesn't like that.

Shame...

In Fusio Linerider
Astraware Sudoku
BitFire Pocket Sand

All work and run beautifully with the graphics acceleration.
Got a load of other astraware stuff at home, will update this as i find them.

All three of them run superbly on the Raphael as well.
