This is more of an FYI than a recommendation.

There are some classic RPG's available on the mobile Android platform, but you probably need a fairly hefty phone to play them. Here's a few that stood out for me:

The original "KOTOR" -- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Be aware that this is no slimmed down game, it's the full version adapted for Smart Phone play and takes up over 2GB of storage. That translates to a long download so definitely something you'd want to do through Wi-Fi so you don't burn through your data allowance.

Then speak of the devil, The first Bard's Song game! This one is under 30MB so not as needy as KOTOR.

I've also come across Baldur's Gate Enhanced and Baldur's Gate II as well as Icewind Dale Enhanced,

I've never been a big phone game person, mainly because I've been sticking with my old outdated phone for quite some time because my workplace provided it. Now that I've been slated for "Carrousel" at my workplace (Logan's Run reference, means I'm not going to be there for much longer lol ) I gave up my work phone and picked up a an Android Turbo, which has unfortunately given me yet another reason to become part of the mindless masses who wander into traffic staring into their palm. razz

At any rate, I've discovered the world of apps, including games and thought I'd pass these mobile links along.

Just a couple of disclaimers though; they all cost money, usually between $3.00 and $10.00 or so and mileage may vary when it comes to downloading or using them. Most of the ones I named have decent ratings, but since they do fairly frequent updates to the Android platform, it's possible the developers might miss some issues here and there.

So, there you go. crazy

It's OK L4L, I'm probably the only I/T employee in the world that only just switched to a smartphone! lol Mainly because I'm really hard on portable technology like cell phones and my last one was ruggedized to military specs. I've actually "drop-kicked" it, while taking a call several times. shocked I've taken a number of precautions with this new phone to insure I don't repeat that kind of incident. Although, my girlfriend accidentally knocked it out of my hand while walking by me in our little kitchen. Luckily it kind of slid rather than hitting flat and I've got a good cover on it, so it survived the fall. Still made my heart drop though. lol

The fact that they are powerful enough to handle full-on games is actually pretty cool. I know some of the triple-A game developers have been putting together mobile games to go with their full releases.

That reminds me, here's one from Bethesda, I believe it's free although does present "in-app" offers for purchase:

Bethesda's Fallout Shelter

I've been playing all of these on my tablet for a while, and yes they are the full games, and play really quite well. I wasn't aware that KOTOR was available, though. Hmm. Would be good to have that along on a trip, methinks.

Don't bother with the Android Deus Ex game, though. It's not anything like any of the PC games and it isn't worth the price.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
