Hangman Plus

Now calm your excitement. Hangman Plus now works on the E61 (oh how I would kill for a half decent game on S60 3rd edition!)

Guess words letter-by-letter! In Hangman Plus, you can guess random words from more than 1500 English words available in the game. You can adjust the length of the guessed words and the difficulty to your preferred level.

Hangman is not only a great game for spending time, but also a pleasant study tool. By guessing various words, you improve your English. That is why Hangman is also a great educational toy for children and students.

Possible new E- series device?

Jah spotted this thread over at mobile-review regarding a possible new E- series device. If the picture is anywhere close I am on it like a shot!

“The new Communicator will be S60 3rd Edition (3.1 precisely) based. The internal screen will be VERY HUGE, and the external screen will be S60 as well - thanks to S60 3rd Edition’s scalable UI. The keyboard will be large and comfortable, too. That’s all for now but more info will come as soon as I know something.”

E61 Emulators

I was looking at Speccy today (the Spectrum emulator) and stumbled upon 3 other emulators for the E61- MasterGear, ColEm and VGBA. If you like retro gaming these have to be worth a look…

Emulators are programs that run software written for old computers or videogame consoles on the new hardware. Essentially, an emulator makes old software “think” that it is running on the original hardware, while it actually runs on your computer. I am creating emulators since 1993 and have made quite a few of them. For those who would like to try making an emulator on their own but do not know where to start, I have written a short introduction into the craft.

Originally, I developed emulators for PCs and Unix workstations. With time though, even mobile devices such as PDAs and cell phones became capable of emulating older hardware. Thus, at this page you will find my applications for Nokia Symbian-based smart phones and instructions on how to set them up.

If you work for a game company that would like to run its legacy games on mobile phones or other hardware, and need help…
