I downloaded Darxide EMP for my mobile by my rubbish Nokia 6303 wont run it

Hoping sometime next year I will pick something up, seems like the kids get all the good stuff :)I have been watching this (http://www.notionink.in/) personally, think it will be great when it is released. Make sure you glance over the blog a lot of info in there.Oh updated the first post with all the latest editions.

Found out why Darxide EMP wont run, my crappy phone has Symbian version 40 OS. I needed version 60, drat! Already checked if I could upgrade it and it's a big no, Nokia are evil. Oh, well live and learn I guess.. Still, when I get a new phone I will at least be able to play a proper "Brabian" space game on it.

I hate how the phone makers come out with so many different versions that if your not a cellphone guru you are lost. Personally they should generally use the same hardware and just use firmware updates to add features the other competitors don't have or OS upgrades.I have had bad dealings in the past with the Apple Store and now limit all purchases to necessity. I couldn't even get my money back even though I never downloaded the app? It's not like I bought it played it for a weekend. They had a record that i purchased and never downloaded and still wouldn't return my money. Apple's customer service is not great in my opinion.

Hi,check out the trailer for the upcoming Galaxy on Fire 2 for iPhone/iPad: I hope this is not considered as mere adverstisement. Although I am part of the development team I'm a big fan of space sims in general. I've been reading a lot here and thought this is a good time to create an account and participate in the community.

Looks good Slayniac what the difference between this version and the original game. And can list the features of the game.

Here's a feature list:[*:16xdln0a]Huge galaxy with dozens of solar systems with unique planets and space stations in 3D[*:16xdln0a]Action-packed battles featuring various primary and secondary weapons and stunning explosions[*:16xdln0a]Ore mining in hazardous dynamic asteroid fields[*:16xdln0a]3D map to navigate through solar systems and jump gates to travel fast through the whole galaxy[*:16xdln0a]Dozens of space ships with plenty of weapons and gadgets to upgrade as well as free trading and production of goods of any kind[*:16xdln0a]Space lounges to meet streetwise business people, extraordinary aliens and shady clients with lucrative missionsUpcoming Features[*:16xdln0a]Revised storyline[*:16xdln0a]Completely new graphics including all new original spaceships and stations for all factions[*:16xdln0a]Space Camera: Save screenshots to your library or load them up to facebook[*:16xdln0a]English Voiceover[*:16xdln0a]Open Feint enabled: Lederboards, achievements, online savegames[*:16xdln0a]GameCenter enabled[*:16xdln0a]3D SoundBasically we did a complete graphics overhaul and revised the gameplay/balancing.

Any plans on releasing this on Android platform Slayniac?

Like the look of the ships in vid any chance of some pics.The 3d map look good to is similar to the Frontier one.Will the space lounges be similar to Freelancer ones where you can talk to different factions for jobs.

You can find some screenshots here.In the space lounge, players will meet different character of several factions and races. Some will give you jobs, some are trying to sell/buy goods and others just want to chat. Not all of them are fair-minded though.The factions will play a major role in the gameplay mechanics.

Done it's in the list on the first post.

I started playing R-Type Tactics (or R-Type Command) on my PSP. If you like TBS games you are going to love it. [url]http://www.mobygames.com/game/psp/r-type-command[/url]

We've had several people request this and I've been told someone in our community is working on a client for Android. Our dev team would but they are currently at capacity for bug fixes and new development on our current web/iPhone platforms)Anyone who has programming skills can make a client though because the API's in the game are all available/exposed. This has led to lots of people making their own clients and we think Android won't be far off. If you're interested in reading more behind-the-scenes details about the APIs and development, the game has been featured on Perl.com twice with excellent in-depth articles for programmers.I'll include them here if anyone is a programmer and interested in this game development topic:"Why Lacuna Expanse is good for perl"[url]http://blogs.perl.org/users/jt_smith/2010/10/why-the-lacuna-expanse-is-good-for-perl.html[/url] the Lacuna Expanse with Perl"[url]http://www.perl.com/pub/2010/10/colonizing-the-lacuna-expanse-with-perl.html[/url] for adding us Darkone!

I was given an Ipad as a gift, and downloaded a couple of games, including Galaxy of Fire 2. When I have time to play them, I will tell you what I think.

http://darknova.net/How come no Dark Nova? Its the Original Space Trader game, only ported with better gfx (screenshots.) and a new name. I have Space Trader for windows, and love the hell out of it.So yeah, Dark Nova. *EDIT*Oh. Galaxy on fire 2 is INSANELY addictive. Like, its freelancer in my pocket. Pretty amazing for an ipod game.

Wow, I am absolutely stunned by Galaxy on Fire 2 (GoF2), IronHound. It really, truly is Freelancer... right down to the bar rumors, "We don't really own this place, but we have an agreement with the people who do...". :)But GoF2 is more than Freelancer... it is the game that so many have dreamed of for a sequel. Everything is polished, improved, and enhanced from Freelancer. New and different missions, a mining system that is both fun and profitable, and improved balance throughout. I could go on for several pages about the enhanced detail in GoF2. But, take it from me (a die-hard Freelancer fan), this game is exactly what we have been waiting for.Ironically, when I first tried GoF2, I quit after a few minutes because I was not comfortable with the accelerometer-as-a-controller style that GoF2 requires. If I could connect a joystick or a mouse to my iPhone, then I would have been more immediately comfortable. But, based on your well-timed message, I tried GoF2 again... and stuck with it for a couple of hours. The experienced changed my life (well, the gaming side of my life ). The accelerometer is actually a compact and effective game controller built into the device. It took a few sessions over two days for my muscle-memory to fully adapt. After that, I am a convert.I could be done playing Freelancer for good now... at least on a regular basis. Galaxy on Fire 2 is the new sheriff in town.And you don't need a fancy graphics card or console to play it, either. If you already have an iPhone or iPod Touch, then you can have GoF2 in your pocket for a mere $7. And, if you have been holding out on getting into the iOS world, then Galaxy on Fire 2 could very well be a reason to get an iPhone/iPod. (An embiggened version with higher-res textures is in the works for the iPad).Wow!

humm... not to be a bother, but you should separate the links into groups, like links for mobiles (nokias, sonyericson,etc), ipod/phone/pad, pocket pc, nds, PSPthat would be nice

I will try to do something like this when I create the wiki for this type of thing. And then I will let the users update and make changes for me
