Risk board game for Palm? Freeware?

[Paul Robinson]

Any good freeware programs that emulate the Risk board game?

Worldwar was once available as freeware (v 0.9.5). I was so impresed with the programming that I decided to register version 1.1. Dumbly, I overwrote version 0.9.5.

Now I'm using two PDAs (one during the day and one at night) with different users names. Unlike some other publishers, Zagware doesn't provide a second reg code or even a discount on a second license.

I hate to pay full freight for something I'm only going to use from time to time-- and the game would never be played at the same time on the 2 devices!

Anyone know how to find ye old WorldWar 0.9.5 (or even 0.9.4)?

Or know of a good freeware (or very cheap, say under $7) Risk clone?

I was looking for the same thing the other day. I know a young developer on 1src was working on a stratego clone but no beta yet

Say, we always enjoyed Stratego as kids... a wonderfully exciting, engrossing game. It'd be fun on the Palm.

I wonder if kids play board games any more?

I looked high and low for WorldWar, but nothing...sorry.

We played RISK for hours in college It was RISK, Euchre and beer. Ah, education

[Paul Robinson]

For us, it was Diplomacy, Risk, Avalon Hill board games, and poker in high school. In college, mostly poker.

Headcronie, thanks for looking. I dug up version 1 as well as 1.1, but not the earlier freeware. (Although I vaguely recall the first incarnation of 1 being freeware and then it changed!)

I just wish the publisher had been more forthcoming with a discount or freebie for a 2nd PDA. By the way, their forums are overrun with SPAM and foul-mouthed posts and porn come ons! It's really sad--there's obviously no control by the software developer--and it makes one even less interested in supporting them!

It's too bad as the program was well designed.

I saw this game, Planets 2, over on Palm Addict and thought of this thread. What do you think of this?

Planets 2 is a simple, additing game that plays similar to Risk.
This free version allows 2 players on 2 different maps.

Features:
- Smooth, hi-res graphics
- Simple, addicting gameplay
- Unlimited replay value
- Auto-save
- FREE!

I tried this game OHD and I couldn't figure it out. I deleted it yesterday cuz I didn't wanna take the time to figure it out.

4 me, if I gotta put a lot of time in trying to understand the rules, it better be a very captivating game. This one wasn't such a game 4 me. Maybe it works 4 someone else.

BTW, I gotta a new commercial that has me ROTFL. U seen da the federline (THFKAMBS - The Husband Formerly Known As Mr. Britney Spears!) commercial? It aired during the SuperBowl. THFKAMBS has finally found his calling - "would U like fries with that? Thank You!"

I apologize that it was a bust, I saw the name of the game referenced and thought I'd share it in this thread. I've never played either game so I had no way of knowing if it was good or bad. Wish it had worked out for you.

As far as K-Fed goes...yes, I saw that commercial during the Super Bowl and because of it I seriously considered dropping Nationwide as my insurance carrier. Yea...I think the whole "fries" thing is exactly where he should be.

Here's a little something for you....<OHD giggles> BUT WAIT....run and get your wife BEFORE you click on the link!



BACK ON TOPIC
Ok...sorry guys, NOW back to RISK. If I find anything else I'll bring it over. HOPEFULLY, it will be better next time, but I can't promise.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out!
