Games to go
Although your PDA is no Gameboy, it can still serve as a pretty nifty gaming machine when you're on the road. Just make sure that the bleeps from your handheld don't disturb your fellow passengers!
There're plenty of Palm-based games out there but when you're stuck in your economy class seat, you want something that can keep you entertained for a long time. One game that'll keep you enthralled for hours is the incredible Kyle's Quest. This role-playing game is like something straight out of Nintendo. It lets you control a character and guide him through various fantastic quests. You can even download enticingly titled adventures like Fatal Fantasy and War of the Magi.
Another great way to occupy your time is to play the addictive trading game DopeWars or its more futuristic-themed counterpart SolarWars. If action is what you're looking for, try the graphically impressive space arcade shooter Zap!2000.
For something more cerebral, you can challenge your Palm in a game of chess with ChessGenius or exercise your strategic thinking skills with the popular card game of Big Two.
While the Pocket PC can't emulate the immersive experience of playing Counter-Strike on your PC, it can still be a pretty cool gaming machine. A great game on the Pocket PC is Galactic Realms (also available for Palm), a real-time strategy game that follows the 'gather-build-destroy' formula of popular PC games like Command & Conquer. If you want a game with impressive eye-candy and great gameplay, try Space Treker. An epic game of space exploration, this one is great fun for those with intergalactic aspirations.
Want something simpler? There're always arcade-styled games like the colorful bubble-bursting Bubblets and board games like PocketChess.
