Customer Review: Only One Good Game
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this card for SimCity and Zap!2016 alone. The other games were good, but not great. I ended up playing mainly Zap!2016, because the other games were just too boring. They could have put more exciting games on it. I just don't think it's worth the money for only one good game. Some people said Zap!2016 had some bugs in it. I haven't noticed any. I recommend buying just Zap!2016 itself from the Palm Software Connection. You'll save some money and free up the expansion card slot.Customer Review: Games work on Color, Greyscale, etc.
Summary: 5 Stars
The thing I really like about this card is I bought it for my m505 and then I went to an i705 and all of the games still played the same, just in greyscale. I liked the fact that there was a variety of different types of games. Granted, I didn't like all of them, but some I liked, and some my wife liked. I sure saved a lot of money by buying all of these games like this instead of one at a time and taking up my memory!Customer Review: Really F U N -- but is it worth the high price???
Summary: 3 Stars
I plan to review each of the games included on this Games Card individually:It was by pure chance that I have this particular Games MMC card for my trusty Palm m130, and I played it virtually non-stop the first couple of weeks after I got it. First off I was absolutely GLUED to Sim City. I had never played the game before on my home PC, so I was in for quite a treat. I couldn't believe what the game could do! However, my passion for playing Sim City died out MUCH sooner than I had anticipated...but there were other games loaded on the card, so...4-stars.
I switched to Bubblet...I had played the demo version of this for almost 6-months before and absolutely LOVED it. The graphics on the Games Card were a little fuzzy compared to the demo I had played, but it still performs great...a sure-fire winner of a game...5-stars.
9-Ball is a Palm version of pinball...really haven't been interested in this particular game at all...1-Star.
Chroma is a combination 3-games-in-1 combo which includes Backgammon, Checkers and Chess. I've never been much on Backgammon or Checkers, but I really love the Chess and the multiple game settings...3-stars.
Klondike is basic Solitaire...another game that I have never really gotten into in my life, but once I started, I have been forever hooked. I am not all that pleased that 96% of the games cannot be won (at least by me) but when I finally win a game it really puts me through the roof!...5-stars.
PXBlackjack is straightforward and simple...you can decide on your (fake) bet, and see if you come out a winner...I imagine the odd's right about the same as playing in a casino -- but a whole lot less expensive...2-stars.
Zap!2016...This is the game I was the most excited about. I had been playing Zap!2000 for almost a year now and figured that 2016 was an upgraded version with different settings and levels and I was PROFOUNDLY disappointed that this is NOT the case at ALL. Essentially 2016 is EXACTLY the same as 2000 with just ONE MINOR difference: The Background. That's IT. The battle scenes and asteroids and alien ships are all IDENTICAL...they are even set in the exact same order, too. Basically, if you own Zap!2000 you already own Zap!2016 -- do NOT buy this Games card based upon the belief you are getting a new and improved version -- it ISN'T, pure and simple...4-stars.
One other reviewer noted that this card is a 16mb card, but these games use up less than 2...so why so much extra wasted space? For the cost, couldn't you add a few extra games? Other than Sim City which separately is HORRIBLY over priced, you could buy all the games on this games card for much less, or get them FREE on various Palm Games websites. Over all, this card has supplied me with a HUGE number of hours of entertainment... and I probably sound more displeased than I actually am, but I just question the price of this card versus how many games are actually provided. Something to think about.
Customer Review: What i found about this card
Summary: 3 Stars
First i have to say that i don't have this card, but i was thinking on buy one, what did stop me?, well first it says that have the game "zap 2016", that version of the game is only for 16 bits colored handhelds (i have a m500 handheld, as you know it is a grey, non colored handheld), after that i went to palm.com and try to find out a little more, and back there i saw all the games included on this card, i was dissapointed, it have really great games, like zap and simcity, but the others ones are not the kind of game i like the most, well, i also have to say that if you buy this card you will save money and you wont sacrifice any memory on your palm. Underneath it all it is a good product if you like casino's games, but be carefull, i didn't continue investigating about this card so i dont know if all the games will work on a non colored palm, maybe they will... or maybe not.Customer Review: Great in the Middle of the Night
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with the game card. The choices of games are basic, but I'm not a huge video game lover and easily entertained. I especially like Klondike (Classic Solitare) and Bubble. These are similar versions of the ones that come with windows on your desk top. I have trouble sleeping at night so I play the games on my palm in the dark so as not to disturb my husband. (Make sure to turn off the sounds!) It is also a great way to pass time while waiting for appointments, etc. I have not experienced any glitches. The card has functioned flawlessly.
